I said the This CzechPoint 9231 looks nice, and it does as far as being a 9mm with a more substantial barrel than what else is out there. The Taurus 905 has a 2" barrel, the 9231 has a 3" barrel. I also like that the CzechPoint 9231 has rear adjustable sights.
But as far as looks, the bluing doesn't seem that great. It doesn't look even. It appears brownish in some areas, dull matt in some places and shinier in other places. I thought maybe it was just the photo, but I went to the Alfa Proj website and their other revolvers look like this too.
I tell myself that if I like the revolver I can always have Robar fix it up, but it's one thing to have a pistol refinished due to wear, it's another thing to pay half the price of the gun to have it refinished just because the finish that comes with it is sub par.
