Magnet test results

Tried 3 different magnets. All 3 only stick to it half ass. The same magnets pull strongly to my bisley frames which are all steel. Must have enough ferrous metals involved to stick some but definitely not a pure iron casting. Weird.

Did Ruger make an alloy super blackhawk grip frame? - Chance Dunlap, 2020-03-08, 09:59
- I would bet that is just a standard stainless gripframe. (nm) - gary reeder, 2020-03-08, 21:35
  - Probably. But has different feel than my polished stainless. - Chance Dunlap, 2020-03-09, 10:08

  - Nope, chrome or nickel plated most likely. Get a magnet - WB, 2020-03-08, 11:01

        It looks to be plated to me. In that process - WB, 2020-03-08, 12:37
        Small wear areas have a brassy look underneath. - Chance Dunlap, 2020-03-08, 16:05
        No matter, you found it's not aluminum. (nm) - WB, 2020-03-09, 08:47
        Stainless? Magnets stick a little bit - steve todd, 2020-03-08, 12:36
        Was thinking polished stainless too... (nm) - Huey, 2020-03-08, 13:14
