Came across this pic - got it from someone else.

Apparently, it some sort of sample model that was never sold.

Anyway, I think the color is kinda kewl...

Poor Shipwreak. Some day you will see the light! And it will ride on a .45 caliber weapon! :-D
Well, I will probably buy the HK45 :p

But I have had many 45s over the years - It was just when I started selling guns and getting new ones (I changed out my entire collection last year because I was bored w/ what I had), I wanted 9mms because itw as getting too expensive to go shoot.

I'm with jwkinber45..........black guns are good looking guns, especially with deeply blued steel and some really nice wood grips. Although, the gray HK looks pretty good. Anyone seen one of the gray HK's in person? I don't know if it's just me or my computer but they look kinda' blueish?????

No, it is bluish in person too.

As for the camo Glock - don't buy it - There is also a carbon fiber one. It's just a thin layer that's basically shrink wraped to the gun. They will scratch easily and show the true color underneath. I've heard that the carbon fiber ones are OD green underneath if you scratch them.

It basically the same thing as the camo 'dip' they put on shotguns etc. My waterfowl gun is a Benelli SBE thats been dipped. Honestly it looks like hell with all the camo coming off in a few place and the black showing thru.......its killed a crap-load of ducks though!!!!! :-D :-D :-D

When I got my Glock 34, I really wanted an OD green one - I couldn't track one down in my area, though. Then, wouldn't ya know it - I see one at a gun show 3 mo later :-D

I really want an OD green gun of some sort eventually. I know, I may be in the minority, but I like them :-D
