Personally, I don't like two tones. It should either be all black or all silver. Another note is, the nitron over the stainless is a much better coating than the nickel of the two tone. I am about to trade in my P220 in blued for a P220ST on Monday. Damn I am excited, hehe! This is why I keep bringing it up, hehe. My next gun after the 220ST is a nitron P226 9mm.
