P250 | Sand Dune (Factory New)

Skin overview

P250 | Sand Dune is a pistol finish where individual parts are spray-painted solid colours in a sand dune scheme. The slide, frame and grip all carry an even pale tan, with the darker metal details left untouched. In Factory New the paint is smooth and uninterrupted, so the pistol reads as one clean block of sand colour.

Item type: pistol. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

The slide is painted a pale sand tan from the muzzle to the rear serrations, while the muzzle opening, slide catch and takedown lever stay dark metal. The frame and trigger guard share the same tan, with the dark trigger standing out against it. The textured grip panels and the magazine base are also sand-coloured, so the pistol reads as nearly one tone. There is no pattern: the finish is flat solid paint, which makes chipping easy to see. On worn copies the paint goes first from the slide edges, the front of the muzzle, the trigger guard rim and the bottom of the magazine.

The tan paint is intact across the slide, frame and grip. The Factory New band begins at the very bottom of this skin's float range and is narrow. In game the pistol shows as an even sand-coloured shape with dark controls. Every edge and the muzzle face look clean.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since chipping on a solid colour is easy to spot.
• Look at the slide edges, muzzle and magazine base first, as these lose paint before anything else.
• There is no pattern on this finish, so pattern index does not change the look.
• Check for applied stickers and a name tag, since they stand out strongly on the plain tan surface.

• Collectors who want the cleanest copy of a simple finish.
• Sticker crafters who need an untouched tan surface.
• Conclusion: the pick for a flawless plain sand look.
