I came across several SIG P6s in 9mm, with blue and red bits! It looks like the grips were red, or blue then overpainted black. Also in one an inner component is blue? My only thought is that they were used for training, perhaps red having live ammo and blue having training ammo. I do know they were ex German police issue.
Any thoughts?

All I can find is.....at manufacture P6 metals are ...type III anodized...or Hard Coated...that besides providing for superior wear etc...allows for coloring of parts/surface....? Dont know beyond much of that.....if one was not lazily inclined to not send pics....another may be able to provide more....?

Remembering back to 1959, blue marking meant truncated firing pin and red meant partially blocked barrel (so blanks would work the action.) That was not on P6 model guns, but was used on some English/US arms for training purposes.
