Arizona,
The finish is smoother than the frame finish on my standard R9S. The magazine, magazine release, grip screws, trigger, recoil spring guide rod, barrel, ejector, extractor and hammer are of the standard finish of the regular R9S. There is quite a difference in the feel of the G10 grips on the stealth and the carbon fiber grips on my standard R9S. The G10 grips are more of a matte finish than the carbon fiber grips but it is no big deal to me as both grips appear to have the same dimensions. I have not disassembled it yet for cleaning before the first range visit. I will do that later tonight. Oh yes, all the markings on the gun, grips and magazine are identical to my regular R9S.
I hope this helps.
Mike
