Hi Jason, I would venture to say the color of the slide is just a hair off. Not in 1 spot but the fully slide which you wouldn't even notice. "blems" which are cosmetic and often times very hard to detect at all. If it impacted the actual function of the weapon, or made it dangerous in any way, I'm very sure that particular weapon would never leave the production/assembly facility. I've seen weapons sold as blems that had simple rub marks, some have had the hardness testing dimples (small indentions in the surface), slightly misplaced or smudged lettering, things like that. I wouldn't hesitate to pick one up if it was available for a good price
