    Mine is black over stealth gray with black controls. Came with frame matching controls but only a single-side frame safety and the ambidextrous is not available in gray so I fitted a black slide stop and magazine catch as well. Brown suggested sending the pistol back so they could re-coat the frame and controls in a matching color. Despite the cost this is still a working pistol. Finish is already wearing off the slide so Gen 3 must be pretty soft. Yours looks unfired?

    It's been fired, granted only 25 rounds by me, but the guy I got it from carried it and fired about 1000 through it. Still looks great, little holster wear around the muzzle.
    I do have another EB I haven't fired yet. Wat behind on my range time.

    Just realized yours has the conventional frame. Mine is bobtailed (like my Kobra Carry).

    Here's the "stealth grey" and black version with the bobtailed frame. Pretty. Still a working gun. Still not "perfect" from the factory.

    Thin grips, ambidextrous frame safety, extended magazine catch, and slide stop added or swapped out. The safety was stealth grey on the stock pistol but not available in that color from the factory so the slide stop and mag catch were added in black purely for cosmetic purposes. Fluff but I know it's fluff!
