Something seems odd about the gun. Someone who is more familiar with the models will probably chime in, but the P220ST I have has the accessory rail and more matte Nitron finish on the frame. Although it’s hard to be sure, the finish on this one appears more like the aluminum anodized finish. The gun also has the old style 8mm trigger. I suppose the lack of a rail and the old style trigger aren’t impossible with an all-stainless steel P220, but as I say, it looks odd.

Added: If the wear on the frame is what it looks like in the photo, i.e., the slivery base metal showing through, then I’d bet a nickel that it’s anodized aluminum. Nitron is an extremely durable finish and unlikely to show that sort of wear from normal use.

I would not purchase it without the magnet test on the frame.
