[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3108700, member: 3099"] Gotta correct some stuff here. The M&P's stainless slide and barrel are heat treated through before it goes to nitride finish. I don't know what specific steel they use or what heat treat condition they take it to, but it's just wrong to say that stainless isn't as good as 4150. I've machined tons of precipitation hardened stainless heat treated to 205KSI which is quite hard and a real ***** to machine. Higher chromium grades can go higher than that but very much higher and you are talking about grinding or EDM rather than cutting with a cutting tool. I also know a guy that shoots about 30k a year and most of that goes through his M&Ps. There is a thread on another forum where they shot over 60K through a M&P 9. I believe the slide cracked at 63k rounds. I've seen where Glock slides cracked at 20K. Every brand has quirks either way but the M&P is every bit as durable as Glock if not even more so. [/QUOTE]
