Factory Color Glock Frames? How/where/which?

[Life During Wartime]

So I've seen quite a bit of pictures/talk/video of factory FDE and OD frames from Glock, but there is zero advertisement for such on the gloc website. Just where are these people getting them? and do they still make them? I thought I heard they discontinued the OD?

Also, just as a little added fun
which is your preference
and/or
do you see any advantage to either over black or a custom ceracote?

Glock (as do other manufacturers) will make occasional runs of unique colors or models. Often this is a distributor special. For example RSR, Sport South or Lipseys may say to Glock "We'll buy 10,000 if you can make them with a purple frame". The distributor will then advertise their special run to dealers.....who may or may not be thrilled with purple Glocks.

Same with other features:
Night sights
Slide coatings
#of mags
etc

They do colored ones in batches so when they come out youll see them show up.

Cerakote or duracoat can be done it just may not be as durable as it would be if it came from the factory where the polymer is actually tinted and not just painted.
