To your first comment, "harder" does not mean "better or improved"; only harder. Harder Could show less wear, but at an increase in brittleness . The real key to the metal used and its forging and/ or heat treatment is its suitability for its intended use. Some parts need to be hard, others, ductile or malleable; so a change in hardness viewed alone is not very meaningful. As to the Stevenson article, while it does contain much real data and facts, the total and only negative conclusions in the last part are only one man's opinion, and obviously one who had his mind made up. For each negative point he makes, an alternate positive can be written. His most telling "opinion" is that the luger is an "ill balanced" pistol- perhaps in his hand, but not in mine nor anyone I know who has held one!
