Try a greater distance between the pistol and the background color.
Put them into separate light pools. One flat light for the background. Another key light and accent light for the pistol. It may be necessary to use shields to block light.
This should help eliminate the color reflections.
While this effort in photographing is greater, the photoshop work should be easier.
It's also possible to paint out masks in photoshop.
