Ruger SR9 black nitride vs. Ruger SR9 brushed stainless?

[Ghillie Man]

Just as the thread title says, which finish do you prefer on either of these two pistols?
I'm a little torn at the moment. Any pros and cons?

I like the stainless steel personally. I looked at both, and decided on the stainless.

Stainless of course wayyyy nicer.....also black will show more holster wear if you are using one......

 

[JimboJones]

I prefer the olive drab....


But the stainless "will do".

I'll chime in for the black one.

i have the stainless but i must admit im hankering for a black one.
ill probably pick up a black one here to scratch that itch when i see one on sale that i cant pass up....

I have the stainless, but in all fairness you can't go wrong either way !

 

[J Whisky]

Both are great, but I vote stainless.... mainly because I just bought one

I second that one, the brushed SR9 is my next 9mm. Read nothing but good reports regarding lack of wear on the brushed version.

I have black nitride, and like it, I prefer the look over stainless. I've used mine with some holster work and no shown ware, but haven't used it extensively at all with a holster.

 

[saskcop]

I am saying a black one.

I have the stainless , as I really like the appearance of it on the SR9, way more than other makes. Currently looking for a black SR45 for the collection .

I like the stainless look, nothing bad to say about the black but I like any two tone look.
