They all eventually point to stainless steel is a soft metal.

Ya, interesting read on the link, thanks. Mine's not exhibited the problem. Did you see someone also mentioned the colts s/s not peening as I experienced with several colt s/s guns?

I find that very interesting. Thanks for the link

That's was me; no peening on any of my 1911's, including three with stainless slides.

I pulled out 4 stainless Dan Wessons and didn't find any peening on any of them.
