Similarly, the ejector housing shows bright blue with light thinning only on the outside edge. The blued sides show strong blue with some thinning to gray one the grip straps. The cylinder shows most of the blue with minor thinning. Fine light case color on the frame sides and top strap with more vivid clor in the protected aras.
