[QUOTE="rc508pir, post: 3108709, member: 40091"] They are 416 stainless and no, stainless isn't near as good as 4150. Yes you can heat treat stainless to be NEAR as hard as 4150 but that totally destroys the corrosion resistance. Also of you notice, A M&P is thicker and heavier than the Glock slide. It has to be to hold up. THe fact is that Stainless gun parts are not heat treated to the hardness of 4140 or 4150. To get that hardness they nitride them for surface hardness and call it good. There are also lots of Glock slides that have gone over 100k rds [/QUOTE]
