What exactly is CZ's Dual Tone Finish?

[sundance43.5]

What finish is the slide in, and what is the frame done in?

Thanks

The slide is blued and the frame is satine nickel finish.

Theyre ugly believe me...Go with either solid blued or nickel

Actually, the "older" ones are blued/black slide and satin nickel finish. I say blued/black because my slide looks more black than blued & I don't really know which is the correct terminology. I think I also saw the CZs listed as coming in blued, black, satin nickel, and two tones. The new production guns are blued/black slide and a finish that looks more like a silver color (I'm not sure what they call it, chrome/nickel or something)? I thought I was going to like the "new" finish but I saw some at the gun show last weekend and now I think that the satin nickel looks better. Something about the silver ones that looked like cheap paint to me.

I have a solid satin nickel CZ 85 Combat and a two tone (older two tone w/satin nickel) CZ 85 Combat and the two tone is actually my favorite. I think it looks great. Maybe the CZ 85 Combat's finish is done better than the other models, I don't know.

I was all set to buy myself a M1 Garand, until I saw a two-tone CZ-75 (pre-B) at the gunshow. It was a thing of beauty and I have no self control. Like QB's, my slide is more black than blue.

Two Tone finishes ROCK. I love them. They look Sexy.

I like the CZ two tones...not over done like some Ive seen. Seem pretty classy. Shoot well
