HÃ?Â¥kan is exactly right on this matter.

The Aluminum allloy to which he is referring may be the 7075 ST Aluminum Alloy. And the applications for which it was used was a much more gentle application than that which has now been proposed.

However tough it this alloy may be, it still has a much greater ductility than the steels used in the luger, and would suffer deforming at points of impact and at high stress points around the Pivot Pins.

Even worse the problem of reduced mass causing greater acceleration in recoil therefor greater hammering at the toggle opening point of impact compounding the problems.
