Well, the grips don't fit right...:confused
And I like their poll about "should we make a leather holster" Sure, the metal version is already going to be ridiculously expensive, so let's make a ridiculously expensive holster for it.

Looks to me they tried to use the grips from their resin stunt and put them on the Sidkit based hero...they don't work at all.

Those pics are from Serenity LA (I was fortunate enough to go - Nathan crashed the gate).
It's a proto, and everyone who wanted to handle it was told that the real proto grips weren't yet finished and the ones on there were just so it had a reasonable grip with no bare metal.
Becuase the grips were just temps, they were pretty loose. Looks like that shot was taken after someone played with it. I wouldn't sweat it - the real grips are yet to be done.
(Mark Sheppard spent a good couple of minutes winging it around and clicking the trigger / hammer. Blame him. And Moomoo - you're right about the lighting. Holy crap, was that place dark. I think they had a couple of bare light bulbs on wires lighting up the the entire off-stage area.)

Anybody know if that is paint or some kind of plating?

I think it looks really nice, besides the grips. But that can be easily fixed.
As prototype7 said; do you know if that is that plating or paint, Ben?

That's awesome! I wanted it to have a bit of heft to it. I really can't wait for this piece.

Looks cool!
I think it looks great, the holster pretty damn good lookin' too
It's hard to tell from just one pic, but if I had to guess, looking at the way the light reflects, I'd say it was coated with transparent yellow/gold paint (i.e. "candy pigment" used on many show cars and motorcycles). I've used that method many times myself (like on my metal Sidkit Mal) and it looks better than metallic paint, since it preserves the real metal sheen, though it does dull it a little.
I'm really hoping the final product will be plated.

And if they could get the rights to Firefly, I'm sure they would make one. Sadly, this is not the case.
