It is a nice deep Gloss Blue
Dennis, the Model 01991 actually has a "Semi-Gloss Blued Finish" as pictured here : https://www.google.com/search?q=Colt+1991+Government+Semi+Auto+Handgun+.45+ACP+5%22+Barrel+8+Rounds+Wood+Checkered+Grips+Blued+Finish+1991&client=firefox-b-1-d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj_wILSmb3iAhVHMawKHdAiCAkQ_AUIDigB&biw=1280&bih=596#imgdii=HOJF43AE8crZzM:&imgrc=g2N63fEMBcMMcM:
Dennis, This Colt 1911 model 01991 is not shiny. James has "Semi-Gloss Blued Finish" . It is not a "Matte Black", but not very shiny. You can see the slide is not totally silky smooth.
It is blued but not glossy like on Colt pistols and revolvers of old.
