The Blued one is definitely more accurate.

Colt has made some pretty nice blued ones over the years. Of course stainless wears a little bit better. On the other hand blued gets a patina that gives it character.

The blued one has always been more accurate of the two, BUT it is tighter on barrel-cylinder gap, has been shot less, and bore is much smoother. Stainless gun has seen some rough carry usage. But both as new guns, the blued one did shoot better. Both are 6" heavy's (full length underlug).

I've seen all my friends' revolvers and guess what. They all have Stainless. I prefer the blued, with a checkered wood grip. Just a classic revolver, sexy as ever.
