One thing the Glock .45s can't offer -- which Smith stainless guns can:

That Great Big Ol' Black .45 Hole in what's clearly a hefty, formidable pistol that could mess your head up -- even empty...as opposed to just a black general polymer blob...

Don't forget the fact that many "heavy metal" Smith 3rd Gen .45s are still a weapon when empty...and will still leave an "impression" between the bad guys' eyes when wielded...

Staring down the barrel of a Smith 3rd Gen Stainless .45, one can FULLY appreciate how big a .45 REALLY is...

Not as evident with a general black "shape" -- but a real "standout" against the light, sharp contrast of a big stainless backdrop...even in lower light conditions...

Don't ever discount how intimidating that can be...

With a Smith .45 stainless, you can SEE what you're up against -- with a clearcut visual reminder...
