i don't know if it applies to handguns, but stainless rifle barrels are supposed to be more accurate and wear better...more consistent?...at least that's what armalite said when i ordered my M-15T
they also lend themselves better to being fluted, coated with teflon and then polished. the colored/filled flutes contrasting with the polished stainless steel is very ... especially on an ar with a colored/vented/floating handguard
I'd like stainless steel a lot better if it could be blued. I don't mind it too much in a carry gun, since a.) it's fairly practical, and b.) it's supposed to be concealed, but blued steel always looks better to my eye.
