Trying to decide if I want to pick up a second R-51, but I'm not sure if I want another black one or if I should have one of each model (Pick up a smoke as I already have a black one.)   The problem is I already have a a safe full of pistols and I can't shoot them all..

If the one you have is a Charlotte, NC one, then the new one will be a Huntsville, AL model.  So, even if they are both black, they will be a little different.

Have a black one, will pick up a smoke version to go along with it in the future.

Zenshot,
     Why do you say they will be different? I have both a Charlotte and a Huntsville in black and the only difference I see is those 2 markings. Is that what you meant by different?

That's correct. They are the same except for the manufacturing stamp. It's still a good reason to get a 2nd one. That's how I can tell the two I have apart.
