You should not tease this person...Wrong color Gun will not work at all and everyone knows this to be a fact.
Send me $5 in an unmarked envelope include your Birthdate and I will tell you the proper color gun you need to have........

You are clearly an amateur.
It's $20 and a lock of their hair.
Get with it.

Throughout my 31 years as an LEO I noticed that bad guys tend to really get jittery when someone is pointing a bright, shiny gun at them. Most times the display of a pistol that a perp knows is a pistol is enough to give him pause. Now as a civilian if I ever have to point a pistol at someone I want to make sure they see it. I therefore prefer a two tone pistol over a flat black one.

See I told ya we have failed to pass our heritage on, don't forget the bright shiny bullet too.

Pretty guns dont shoot any better than dark ugly ones.
My carry guns are all black (ecept for my revolver).
I only have one OD green gun and its my XD Tactical. I got it just to be different.

Regeliske is right, never argue with an idiot, especially one with lack of experience.

Well, overall the color of your gun is personal preference.

I like mine just the way they are (all black). They serve their purpose (protection) just fine in their original color. Personally, I think OD green is an ugly color. But if it's what you like, then go for it!

I gave a gun to my fiancee as a Christmas present, and I had it colored for HER. No other reason than I thought she'd like it, and it would be special for her. It still performs the same, regardless of color.

+1 on the OD green (and other colors) sometimes being a little more expensive than their all-black counterparts.

I picked black for my XD, so it would coordinate with my outfits better. I pretty much stick to black boots and belt everyday and wouldn't want the gun and holster to clash.

This has got to be one of the silliest posts I have found, good laughs are going on here. I got black because that is the only way the XD45 compact tactical is offered, I normally prefer stainless when available.

I could care less what color a gun is as long as it shoots straight. If someone is threatening my life then, they won't have time to see the color of my gun.

But I do wish Springfield made a pink frame......Imagine getting whacked by someone carrying a pink gun?

You would get some **** in hell for that.
