A solid red pistol
The Code Red keeps things simple: a strong red slide with white and dark grey line details, a black frame and a dark grip with a small emblem. There is no big illustration, so the skin reads as a clean colour block rather than a picture. That also makes it easy to combine with other red items, for example the knives and gloves in the red skins selection.
How it wears
The full 0–1 range means Battle‑Scarred alone stretches from 0.45 to 1. Solid colours hide light wear well: on a Battle‑Scarred copy the slide is darker and scuffed along the edges and the white lines are less crisp, but the pistol is still clearly red. The difference between Factory New and Minimal Wear is hard to notice without zooming in. If you are comparing two copies, look at the top edge of the slide first.
