They look better but still reddish. Must be mahogany instead of walnut.
You might expect mahogany from the PI.

I just don't understand why you buy a pistol and right away want to change the finish! Just shoot it.

I saw a "real" Colt .38 super at the LGS this am, for $900 I almost bought it for you.
