I just got one of my Sistema's refinished in green. The other pictured is still in black (with a relatively new finish).  So here's my question: Should I keep one all green and one all black, or should I mix-and-match? Here're two pictures of what a mix might look like:   If I mix them, should things like slide relaze, safety, etc - match the slide or the frame? Opinions please!! I'm not sure which one I like myself.  |

I like the way they look with the contrasting slide lock levers. I'd probably switch the safety as well, since the contrast would look ubercool. YMMV.

I like guns all one color...
 Mixed-n-matched color guns remind me of a car with different color doors, hood and trunk.  Just my opinion... |

Neat. I actually like them mixed with contrasting slide release and safety.

Sweet setup, I like the two tone, but you need a double shoulder holster now...

Sorry - I wasn't trying to trick anyone or anything like that.  Thanks for all the feedback. I'm starting to lean towards the mixed set-up now. |

Yea, the gree frame with black slide look good! Switch out the safety for the black, Maybe even the grip safety? Either way they both look good.

Unfortunately, it was a few years ago - when SOG still had them. I believe it was $299 a piece, and they were in excellent, refinished (re-arsenaled?) conditions. I WISH I could find more at that price. I am STILL kicking myself for only buying two. I seriously wish I had bought at least five of them, or more. They are such awesome guns - like a Colt 1911A1 in every way. |

One or the other, I hate two tone pistols.

I really like the black slide on the green frame. Swap out the releases, pins, and slide locks, and you have yourself a stylish set of two-tones.

The Springfield 1911 I recently got is two tone from the factory. I think they look great.

That's what I went ahead and did. Looks good. ThreeMan - I got the green one refinished (with GunKote) at CCR Refinishing. This is my first GunKote finish, and I really like it (and they did a great job). I'm probably going to send them two more 1911's to do - and maybe an AR or two as well.  |

When will this two tone fad die, die, die?
