I have a blued one, also. Really nice finish, well put together, shoots well. Some folks with smallish hands, find the grip overly large. Don't often see them stocked in a lot of stores - really have no answer for that - it's a very nice HG at a good price. I'm sure that there are vendors on here, who would be happy to bring one in for you. If you want "blued" you may have to wait a bit longer for it, than their other finish.
