    They're both great looking guns and I do have a soft spot for classic 2-tones. I usually evaluate it from the perspective of am I going to do additional tinkering with it which is always a yes lol. In that case the blued Garrison is usually out because it costs way too much now to reblue a gun but cerakote is always an option. With the Ronin you would only have to redo the slide which isn't bad as anything done to the SS frame can be reblasted/polished easily enough. The SS Garrison is the easiest to work on and clean up afterwards.
    Yes, I keep circling around on the two Garrison full-size models and the Ronin... as much as I like the classic blued Garrison, I keep landing on the SS Garrison. :)
    If you're ever around the SW side of Indy, Greenwood or such and want to shoot mine, message me and we can figure something out, if you haven't had a chance to shoot one.
    Now I really wished I made it up to Indy more often. :)

    Thank you for the kind offer and I hope I get the chance to take you up on it.
