What is the value? S&W 4014

I'll see what happens with a magnet tonight. Most "stainless steels" are non-magnetic, although there are some exceptions depending on the alloy.

VT,
Austenitic - "300" series Stainless Steels like your Kitchen Sink (which contains nickel) is NOT magnetic.

Martensitic - "400" series like those used in gun and barrel making (which just contains chromium and no nickel) ARE magnetic.
It is also capable of being hardened by heat treating.
