It also nails you to the wall if someone tells the police it was an aquamarine color and you've got the only one in Arizona. Black gun? Everyone has those, won't narrow it down to you.

Either for me.
Carried a nickled full sized 45 for many years.
Then a parked plain blued officers 45.
Now a USPc 9, Glock 19 or XDs9

Weight and capacity to me now is more important than the finish.

I carry as close to factory as possible, this article does a good job explaining why:
