STAINLESS STEEL HANDGUNS

I would prefer to buy and own stainless steel (ss) handguns. I also like working on stainless steel pistols and revolvers. I have no problem refining these types of handguns.
I use different types of stones and abrasives and polishing media on stainless steel.
There is NO PROBLEM having a Stainless Steel slide using a polymer, aluminum, carbon steel, or a stainless steel frame.

Most factories are doing this very thing, such as, HK (USP), Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Colt, Ruger, Springfield Armory, Taurus, Dan Wesson, Walther, Rossi, Caspian, Kahr, Para Ordnance, Beretta, NAA, Seecamp, Kimber, etc.

These ss handguns work fine using some of the very best Stainless Steel available today.
I make all my Custom 1911 Pistols using Stainless Steel.
For those that do not like a Stainless Steel handgun, its probably personal resentment because of the original Stainless Steel used at its first introduction a great many years ago or ruining your tooling.

Using good lubrication on todays Stainless Steel solves any kind of galling problem that would have happened with the ss being used previously, 30 plus years ago. All ss handguns must be maintained and kept clean and lubricated or they will rust, but not nearly as easily as carbon steel.

I can get just as good a trigger pull and I can refine an action, using ss parts. IT SEEMS THAT ALL THESE MANUFACTURERS SEE IT LIKE I DO OR THEY WOULD NOT HAVE SUCH AN EXTENSIVE LINE OF STAINLESS STEEL HANDGUNS IN THEIR CURRENT CATALOGS.
