I won't comment on the finish (seems that some opinions in this thread regarding how it appeals to or is disliked by individuals are viewed by some as being too "personal"), but I will say that the fit of the slide to the frame looks nice and tight. How well the gun shoots in terms of accuracy and reliability are way more important than how a gun looks. That said, appearance does count for me but I like what I like and I don't much care about what other people think of my tastes.
