Default Additions to the S&W SD line (Gray and FDE)

S&W announced the addition of two variants to the SD/SD-VE line in late June 2017.

The new SD variants have white dot sights and will feature black armornite slides and Gray or FDE frames.

The FDE SD-9 and gray SD-40 are cataloged on the S&W web page: FDE SD9 = 11998, FDE SD40 = 11999, Gray SD9 = 11995, Gray SD40 = 11996.

According to Shooting Illustrated, the product release announcement from S&W says the MSRPs are different for the two colors, with FDE listing at $389 and Gray at $419... but the S&W web page shows the same MSRP ($389) for both.

Among other possibilities, this provides the opportunity for someone to create a two-tone SD9/40VE with a silver-colored slide over Gray... and at the same time, an all-black SD9/40 with metal sights (which hasn't been available for a couple of years).

Bud's has the Black over Gray for $309, with free shipping.

(I'm not pushing sales by Bud's or saying that they have the best prices; but they are one of the bigger and more competitive sellers on the web and I often look there, or GunBroker.com, to get an idea of going prices).

We have a gun show coming up at the end of the month. I'm going to be looking for these and see what real world pricing will be. We've had some medical bills to deal with recently. I may not be able to buy one, but I can at least drool.

edit: I stopped at Academy today and they had a gray frame SD9VE in stock. It had the stainless slide and fiber optic sights. They had it priced at $349. They still have the std. SD9VE at $289, and the SD9 with black frame and black slide and FO sights at $349.

My local Academy and Rual King had both. I had to log on here to find out the details as I didn't know new versions were out. They looked cool.

I'm not making any claims either way, I'm just asking, but I've read a few times that the pigments used to make colored polymer (frames, Pmags,etc), make them structurally weaker, over the long term.
Is there anything to that? Anyone have any solid info?
