To answer those asking about if its CCW then why care about color.

I'm a medic, I'm going to get slammed into stretchers, the wall, etc flying down the road doing CPR. I'm going to be bending, reaching, moving, being in all sorts of unusual positions and sometimes that can expose a little of the butt of the gun. If I notice the shiny handle of my 649 sometimes, then I would not want others to see it. So I figure a darker color will just put my mind at ease a little better.
