    If that's not correct, I'm still willing to be wrong.

    Now that is greatness. Knowing when to admit to not being wrong, or right. That is not

    unlike being right 1/2 the time, and willing to admit it!

      You're now 100% correct in your statement, but it's not all encompassing as annealing isn't the only concern for changes to material properties. So it's a win-win!!!

        It's pretty much to see if it can be saved. If there's a danger that the weapon has been structurally compromised by the heat then that is something I will take as gospel from those of you more knowledgeable on it than me. Some of the bluing is burned off but it looks okay. Still final verdict?

          Frost I can't give you a definite yes or no scientifically without knowing the exact materials and original heat treats. But I can tell you house fires get hot enough in the high end to anneal some high carbons, mid temp is enough to overage PH stainless steels, And dimensional changes can occurr throughout all of those ranges.

          I would strongly advise against salvaging, but have no specific evidence to prove either way.

            Ruffdaddy is smart with his answers...........but i am more of a pirate and am afraid I would have to shoot it after restoring it......out of curiousity. lol

            I think i would put it in my vice with a pull string trigger for the first round, though. lol

                  All you have to do is pull the sight off and replace the gun underneath, problem solved.

                      Scotch brite it and take it to the next PD Gun Purchase. Accept money, get drunk.

                              Shame. I have one just like it. It is a sweet little pistol. I just put rosewood grips on mine and fired it this week. If you clean it up, I would be afraid to fire it. I would worry about the barrel warping. Just make it a wall hanger.

                                I would not fire it. However, I understand seeing if it can be visually restored just for the hell of it. I would not fire it, though.

                                Actually, "restore" it and send it to these guys; they like shooting "dangerous" guns.
