Damn I’m so mad! I just bought the blued a couple of weeks ago and even though I love it, I would give my left nut for the ss version. I had no idea it even existed or I would have been a bit more patient. I think the R1 is one of the best looking 1911 out right now with very few markings and engravings on it. So clean!!! the Stainless unlike even the more expensive S&W, Ruger and others is ALL stainless, without the black “accent” safeties, hammers, triggers and slide locks, which imho look like crap.
