A few of mine.I like the variation of colors,nothing mega bright.

 

[Im41911]

I have a two tone Hi Power Practical I'm quite fond of.

I have only one two tone, and that's my new Tisas Aviator. I'm really in love with that pistol with it's contrasting slide, pins, controls, and grip panels.

Although in general I'm not a huge multicolor fan when it comes to guns, I will admit that a nicely hard chromed receiver mated to a nicely blued slide with nice grips on a 1911 does sort of sit all right with me.

Been a fan of two-tone since the days of IPSC - pretty classic look.

The way I'd understood the reasoning for the colors back then was to 1) minimize glare on top and 2) add sweat-resistance where gripped, so pistols with a dark frame and silver slide just look stupid to me, as if someone didn't understand the purpose of the two-tone and just botched it.

I tend to like the silver frame / black slide on my Sig STX.

I also like my Springfield MC Operator with the green frame / black slide.

I'm not a two-tone guy but different strokes for different folks.

I'm proud to own one of the last Two-tone guns Ted Yost built, square trigger guard and all.

Its hard chrome under a blue'd slide.

Once his hard chromer past away he said there wasn't anyone else out there he really trusted.

I prefer blued pistols, but I like the blued slide two-tones enough to own 2. The 'reverse' two-tones just look odd to me, but YMMV.

 

[USMA-1982]

My CMP Rd 4 rack grade. 1943 Colt frame with Colt replacement slide. Kinda cool looking, but prefer the "fresh from the arsenal" rebuild look so I sent the slide off to Shuff's for a zinc repark.

There was a functional reason for black-over-silver, it's not just a matter of pretty colors.
With the advent of dark, wear-resistant finishes, it's now more of a cosmetic thing, or even a nostalgic thing.

Black is Beautiful.

 

[DouglasS]

Here are some of mine. All Wilson Combat California Roster Classics. Stainless steel frame with Armor-Tuff slide.

 

[Brian74]

Need a 3rd option for both. I like two tones in either version.

 

[Fastball]

Ooooo, slide shiney!
