looks more like a subdue ,(blasted) satin finish,,,what does the box say?
lay it next to an actual "target grey" finished gun and compare...

I like it.
TG sure seems to me to be Target Gray. But even Chet's pocket guide questions if this is meant to be Talo Group or Target Gray.
But the box does say Target Gray regardless of code-speak.

yes, we know what and how they got the finish but in the picture it appears lighter than what they usually do ( just the camera and its lighting?),,but the proof in the pudding is that box and the label...says what it is.........and you cannot "replicate" that target gray, thats why it is NOT offered anymore, stainless is soft on the surface and that did not hold up well at all with hard use ( misuse?) I never liked it...........wish I had a nickel for every two stainless guns I have refinished over the years..

Very nice, I think I like that better than the brushed Stainless Steel.

Thanks for the great comparison shots. It’s subtle, but definitely different. Nice guns
I think the color/finish differences are much more pronounced in person.
I remember a friends Super Redhawks being much darker in color though than my USPS Speed Six
Any little mark on them and its there to stay.

That’s a real handsome piece.
I always wondered, is target gray just bead-blasted SS, or is it a coated carbon steel metal?
