That's certainly a potential disadvantage of the two-tone. Once again, I am grateful for the expertise on this forum.  |
The process only hardens the surface (about 4-8 1000's of an inch, depending on who does it) to which it was applied; it does not increase the slides true hardness, therefore it has no value in the shooting/durability/expected useful life etc. aspects of the gun.
