Those that I have had professionally re case colored (by both Color Case Company of Ohio and by Doug Turnbull) also were done with the trigger plate and certain other parts (varies from gun to gun) and associated screws in place. It is done purposely do get the colors across the appropriate parts. I think the criticism has come from photos where a torch job obviously was done with the gun still assembled, leaving the tell-tale circular burned areas and bullseye looking areas running across parts. The above photo ilustrates a properly re colored gun. The proof of a torched gun is not that it has colors across adjacent parts, but that the torch has left it's mark, completely different from the above nicely done colors. With a bit of practice it becomes easier to distinguish.
