Does anyone know if the cylinder frame of the Beretta Stampede is really color-case hardened, or is it a simulated color-case like on the Ruger Vaquero? According to the Beretta website, "The frames of both the blue and Deluxe models feature the new Beretta Color-Case finish - our durable and particularly attractive interpretation of the traditional color-case look." Beretta's choice of the word "interpretation" makes me wonder! I figure if the finish were genine case-hardening Beretta would say so. Has anyone had any problems with the Beretta Color-Case finish?
I'm asking because the local gunshop has a Stampede for sale that's very tempting. But I'd like to know what I'd be getting into.
TIA.
