"So, I believe the notion that a little ol' .001" bulge reduces strength or is dangerous, is not only false in my estimation, but outlandish as well to this engineer."
This Engineer has degrees in Nuclear Engineering, Graduate study and research in Metalurgy from the University of Wisconsin all which can verified by calling the Department Chair of what is now called Engineering Physics, Michael Corradini

Rebut my Post about Metalurgy and steel but don't personally attack me as 'outlandish'!
There is nothing incorrect in what I Posted.
Beretta is correct in that "He advised that this rendered the gun unsafe".
Engineers do not deal in 'estimation' and you should be glad that they are trained not to.
You on the other hand are quick to dismiss and quick to personnaly attack what you don't agree with, unfortuneatly a trait that shows up more and more frequently on the Internet.
I really don't care if you don't agree with me but I do care about your attack on myself. If you want to keep things civil, then an apology is in order, if not, then so be it.-Richard Budowle
