This may seem like a dumb question, but it's been bugging me, so I'm gonna throw it out to the forum experts. My question is about the two-tone finish of the Beretta 92fs Vertec Inox.

I've seen some photos where the slide and frame have the same metallic silver finish. And I've seen other photos where the slide has the metallic silver finish and the frame is more of a dull gray.

Now, I understand that the slide is stainless steel and the frame is alloy. But are there models where the slide and frame are the same exact color, and other models where the slide and frame are silver and dull gray? Or is it just the lighting in the photos?

See links below or attached photos. Anyone know the answer? Thanks.

Its the lighting. The finish colors are essentially the same.

Note that recent standard 92FS Inox imports from Italy do have a noticeable finish difference, almost like a cream frame/stainless look. In person its jarring, but not especially ugly.

I really want, but will never buy, one of the all stainless?? ( I guess it's actually nickel teflon) steel Beretta guns. I loved the one I shot, a "Steel 1". Awesome gun. I like the 92 anyway, but that extra weight was really nice.

It's all normal.

Remember the slide is stainless and the frame is aluminum.

By the way, I'm looking to buy a Beretta Vertec Inox, so let me know if you have one for sale.
