What is Parkerizing and is it good or bad?  I assume that's the gun with the green finish.

Parkerizing is a finish technique that essentially absorbs oil and is less prone to corrosion than bluing.  On the Kel-Tecs, the slides appear gray (with a hint of green), and the barrels look black (inside and out).  Google can give you more specifics than I can here.  The differences in color seem to be related to the use of different chemicals (i.e. different types of Parkerizing).
