Regarding the materials, in the reference there is some subtle horizontal striations in the paint on the body that has an interesting look that seems to be missing in yours. Same with the tab on the top -- which I assume is the trigger. It has a lot of brush marks that yours doesn't have. Very small details that speak to how the thing is made and tell me what the thing will feel like if I could reach out and touch it. I think on a simple asset liike this that is where all the difference is.
Some small little details in the modeling are different from reference to your model. Like the handles are more round in reference. I dunno how much this really matters but if you going for 1::1 likeness just make sure to not miss any detail!
