eeb,

Thanks for the welcome, a newbie here, and it's comforting to know the welcome mat is out. I was reading the posts, and didn't see any reference to this article, which I think is very relevant to the subject matter, and being a lover of Damascus and twist barreled sxs's, I just had to let fly with this depressed info that seems to be shunned by the "gun gurus". I detest the looks & bull I get at gun shows when I mention these tests and findings. What is it with the supposedly knowledgeable people on guns, that keep them so closed minded to this info, in particular.

thanks again,
binko
