Everything I have read by interwebs mall ninja experts says that camo-FDE guns are far more accurate, especially Glocks.............Got to be the same for AR type rifles.

If you let them get close enough to see the outline, they are too close.

They are harder to see in the desert.  And sand.  At the beach.  But are they evil?

I've noticed the FDE rifles don't hurt as much as the black when someone expertly disarms you and whips you with your own firearm.   >:D

I see more companies offering their firearms in other colors than black but charging 100+ dollars compared to their black models. I notice that my scratches on my black rifles are more noticeable than compared my FDE rifles but none of my rifles are safe queens so I don't really care. I've been doing research into DIY cerakoting firearms and it's pretty interesting. It seems cerakote is the way to go these days. Anybody cerakote their firearms or have them professionally done?
