TY dude, post some more, if ya got em.
Knowing how my USP slide and barrel began at the moment of creation,,,(tears start 2 fall),, makes me much more sensitive to its nature.

It's made from 4140 CPM-S30V cryogenically treated, sub-zero quenched Crucible steel.

Actually I have no idea. Probably just bar-stock 420 J2. :)
