Oh? I think the original colour theme looks horrible in the game - the light parts are washed out by the overpowering HDR thus it looks like blinding crap.

Black is more stealthy, and more importantly - the real weapon, Ruger MK. II also comes in black.

Modders don't have to deal with style and time constraints, and can instead do whatever, whenever they please.

I just updated my weapon retexture pack with the hunting shotgun and the .44 revolver, btw :)

@Teancum

It kinda depends, the weapons I am doing at the moment are done from scratch so they should be a huge difference compared to the originals.

(mine's the darker one)

Of course sometimes 'HD' mods are basically taking the default textures and applying some filters and tweaks in Photoshop, but that's always not the case.

Ugh, us PC gamers get shafted yet again.
