You're right, and I simply didn't notice the difference. Note the seller in the op post now has the bi-tone for $259.99 with free shipping again at https://www.sportsmansoutdoorsupers...mm-striker-fired-pistol-with-stainless-slide; notice it says limited time deal. Ruger must not make the EC9S with stainless slide like the LC9S; my searches found the EC9S only with the blued slide. Has anybody ordered from Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore, and are they reliable to order from?
