Many people prefer the good old blued guns to stainless. Consequently there is more demand. Therefore they command a higher price. The invisible hand of the marketplace at work.

Remember, you didn't see Inspector Harry Callahan ask the bad man to "Make my day" with any silver colored gun like those carried by the "girlie men," did you?

Blue is beautiful. That's all I buy anymore. I own way more blue than stainless guns. Like the two before me stated, supply vs. demand.

Blue and wood is good! I would buy a nickel, before SS. If given a choice. I guess I am a traditionalist. Oh and price and notice is with a C. Sorry I am not that great of a speller either.

Stainless steel may be more expensive metal, but that isn't the total cost of the gun. Blue guns take more surface preparations, polishing to ensure the blue finish is flawless. I believe you'll see a significantly higher labor content in the blue guns. Of course all the other comments are correct, more folks want the older blue guns so the value is reflected as well.

Ya, what he said.

Ya, but he did 'Smoke' a few with a "Stainless Steel" .44 Automag before he got done with being Harry!!!
