A: Trevor, Two Tone " Stainless" and Matte Black. A better picture here : https://www.sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com/products2.cfm/ID/210110/o1070ce/colt-combat-elite-government-45-acp

A: Trev: The slide and frame 'flats' (sides) are highly polished stainless while the rest is more of a darkened, matte stainless. Those highly polished flats ARE almost like a mirror. The controls and sights are black stainless, and the grips are black. This is a Series 70 1911, meaning it doesn't have the firing pin 'drop safety', but you get the much better (IMO) trigger than on the Series 80. Beautiful piece of worksmanship
