Glock did have some trouble with guns issued to DOE contractors because they used some crappy metal. I was at a class with some DOE guys from Wackenhutt that had been issued G22 pistols which failed in almost every conceivable way during the 5 days of our course.

Apparently everyone is sending Bill their crappiest guns lately. I almost want to send him a Hi-Point.
I'm gonna send him a Beretta in a few weeks, hopefully that doesn't lead to pics like the last few threads.

I suspect a bad billet. Which happens. The locking surface shows 0.003" setback/peening.
I'm going to build up the area with nickel filler and re-machine it. Because I can. And the loser that owned it literally cried when I showed it to him, and seeing grown men in tactical beards cry is horrible. Demi god my ass.
FWIW, the sandblaster did the damage.
Bill, please don't leave us hanging - bead blaster did it? or bb stripped finish that was masking? or?Originally Posted by Bill Riehl
I've read many times that the Tennifer finish treatment is very hard but once compromised, their metal is not. Truth or fiction?

So is there a reason he could not send it back to Glock (along with an eye test chart for their workers and inspectors)?
I would not want to make a slide out of Inconel. The Nickel content makes it gummy and not a very good material from a tribological perspective, at least in every grade I have seen in use. However, it has great oxidation resistance and strength at temperatures that turn Carbon Steel into Play-Dough. I guess you could coat it with some voodoo special coating from Bill to improve its properties.......
Perhaps Bill will correct me.... I have never tried to make something work with it below a thousand degrees F or so.
