I'm shopping for a small semi-auto pistol and started wondering about whether to get one in all black or one with a stainless steel slide. I figure that an all black gun would be less obtrusive, but might say "LEO wannabe". On the other hand, during the past few months that I have been actively looking for people who are open carrying I noticed that there are a TON of people who carry their cell phones in holsters. It made me think that a pistol with a stainless slide might be less noticeable than an all black pistol, since at a glance it might look more like a silver cell phone in a black holster. Anyway, I was just curious to see what anyone else thought, and if there are other considerations to the black/stainless question. Thanks! -Opie
