i'm pretty sure its not even teflon anymore, something a little more advanced. i like mine, i think the flat black thing goes well with mags, powdercoating it will give you a shiny coating, but its all how you want the gun to look. there are some people on the board that do some great powdercoating jobs if you are interested.

hrmm...but what is the difference between them, it seems like it could sratch off like paint.

i have a black teflon body. its great. i bought it used and was suprised how good of condition it was in but now i know why. shallow scratches go away if you rub them. it's a good color. gets spots on it from gun oil but whipes right off.
BTW, hostage, where in Rochester? i am from Ontario. close by. it's almost a subrurb but not.
