Have a question about artifical caseharding.
It's well known if one leaves a weapon that's casehardened too long in the sun it'll bleach out. That and one can't do the effectively to stainless weapons. Does anyone know where I can get a artifical casehardening finishing system from?

With modren HP's on Humans, both 9MM/.38 Spls do alot better since the 1980's still the darkages as far as hollowpoints goes. But to say a .38 SPL is a better stopping round on game, I doubt it. Just like a .357 Mag is better than a .35 Remington. The dog doesn't hunt.
