Some here have said it does and some have said it has a sort of shine to it.A sort of matte,traditional parkerized type finish is what I'm looking for.

It's smoother and finer than a parkerized finish, but still flat black. I can't vouch for the Bear Coat's longevity yet, since my SRP is still fairly new, but the finish is absolutely gorgeous, probably just what you want. It's "tactical," but still luxurious looking. I also like that the trigger and hammer are coated as well.
