...In the long run you're gonna be happier with the Glock, it's slide and barrel steel being far tougher than the croation offering, they just don't corrode...
My friend melonite is not the same thing as tenifer nor is it as tough.... P.S. S&W is applying or having applied a treatment called melonite to there M&P line, much the same as there famed Sigma. One problem with this carbo nitiding is that it in large part destroy's the corosion resistance of stainless alloy's.Tenifer cannot be applied to stainless.....Melonite has been and is being applied to stainless alloy's......
"To meet the growing needs with regard to wear and corrosion resistance, as well as the enhancement of the fatigue strength, great efforts were devoted to the development and launching of the TENIFER® process, which is also known worldwide under the trade names of TUFFTRIDE® and MELONITE®. This nitrocarburizing process has undergone continuous development with regard to its regenerability and ecology, and from year-to-year the number of applications is increasing on all 5 continents."
