Since my serious photographic equipment still uses film, all I have is a 5 megapixel point-and-shoot for digital. I only use it for tasks, rather than actual photography. I'm going to have to get a pro digital camera system soon. But I digress... I was able to get one shot that is somewhat usable. But it still doesn't do justice to the chrome-lined barrel.
I had to really screw with the color, brightness and contrast on the first photo to try and show the barrels in as natural an appearance as possible.
Picture is of 3 P226 9mms. All are factory new. The only time they've been fired is at the factory test firing. I have not yet shot them but I have cleaned them.
On the left it a Sig P226 Scorpion 9mm with a standard stainless steel barrel.
In the middle is a Sig Mk25 9mm with Phosphate-coated barrel.
On the right is a Sig P226 Combat 9mm with the hard-chrome lined barrel.
The MK25 phosphate barrel in the center is a very dull gray in color. It looks kind of like it has been painted in a dove gray color flat paint that has been scuffed up. It really looks almost like it had been painted at some point and then fired a couple of times.
The standard stainless steel bore in the Scorpion on the left has a little gray appearance but when you see it in person, it is obvious that it is uncoated stainless steel.
The hard-chrome barrel in the Combat model on the right looks (in person) almost like a mirror finish. It is bright and shiny. It looks dark in the images because it is doing such a good job of reflecting the flash away from the lens like a mirror. In fact, you can see where the Nitron external coating was unable to stick to the slick chrom on the crown of the barrel. But even in this crummy photo, you should be able to see that the chrome-lined barrel in the Combat model on the right is brighter-looking, or slicker-looking, than the bare stainless steel bore in the Scorpion on the left.
I hope that this helps in making a visual identification of the bore finish in other Sigs.
