Gruss Gott,alle!

Thanks Haken (sorry,I can't do umlauts with my equipment) and all of you for your well presented and thought out responses.I'm seeing this thread for the first time today.My friend,denfoote,posed this questin from my keyboard without my knowledge because I had told him that several people on this forum were knowledgable in the area of metalurgy(sp.?) and related fields. I wish he had remembered to tell me to check for responses,but he apparently forgot that part.

In any case,I bought the blued model, and after having read your comments, I think I did alright,as long as the it's made of ordinance grade steel of either variety. If I had read everything here first I might have gone with the stainless for its corrossion resistance,but that's neither here nor there at this point. These pistols don't exhibit the tightness of the Luger,by any means! The clearances would allow for construction from "good" stainless.

I want to thank you all for your help and your willingness to devote so much time and expertise to such a "Totally off topic" question. This just proves once again the Kaliber of the people of this forum! Nochmals,vielen Dank!!

Tschuss! Mark M.
