NOTE: Sometimes in my photos, the lighting gives the gun (or Grip Adapter) a slight purplish tint which might lead some to think the gun (or Grip Adapter) has been refinished.
*Under natural light, there is absolutely NO purple tint in the finish of the gun (or Grip Adapter).*
My "photo booth" is an inexpensive tabletop set and I use a basic point & shoot camera with a decent megapixel count.
Sometimes I get the purple tint and sometimes I don't.
