Stainless M1900

Getting back to the blued stainless. Why would they blue stainless isn't that an oxymoron? Bluing is used to protect steel, The stainless steel they use in guns should not need any rust protection. If you want a blued gun why go to expense of using stainless steel. I believe it is a harder metal to work with and no extra advantages except looks and ant-rusting.

It is a nice Luger.

Did Aimco also make the 1900 style in 'raw' stainless???

Sig has been coating (with color) their stainless steel slides for years. It is not a bluing process though. I don't how many other gun manufacturers are doing something similar.
