I'm really close to purchasing a Shadow 2. $40 more for the Black/Blue which I like best. Or the Urban Grey, which my son likes the best. He'll also be shooting it some and it will eventually be his.
I've seen some pics of the finish wear on the Urban Grey models that wore pretty quickly. Others seemed ok, but still had more visible wear than the black models. It will be a competition pistol so I don't know that it really matters one way or the other. Anyone with experience with the finish wear on the Shadow 2's.
