Hakan,


I for one would like to know the differences in hardness and tensil strength between DWM Lugers and the modern SS Lugers - do you have that information available? I have not heard of a SS failure. I assume you are referring to structual problems or is it some other failure mode?


Casting is just a way to manufacture a product that is cost effective and one that the general public can afford. In this day and age it would be very expensive to manufacture the same way as it was done 50-100 years ago and not very effective for the average gun buyer. Newer technology allows lower prices. As you are well aware automobiles are made up of many cast components just as airplanes, including the turbine blades in jet engines and they seem to work as intended. The idea is not to overdesign a product, but produce a product that will do the job as advertized at an economical price.


Regards,
