You are right, the M8.2 silver has a lovely M3 look. Many friends tall me that black is more discrete, maybe, but normally when you shot the people see you and it is no difference to carry a black or chrome body, up to now it wasn't a problem for me. Act according the instincts, is a good advice. Thank you very much Chris!
