Seems the last time I read their catalog they had both a rough finish and a smooth slick finish that was supposedly glossy. Those of you that are interested should give them a call and clarify what they are offering now.

I didn't want to pay $100.00 for that so I picked up the plastic version. Since the build is not going to be authentic Colt anyway I figured it wouldn't matter as long as it looked good and functioned.
