I am no metalurgist so take my suggestion accordingly. My experience has been that the stainless guns overall have harder steel. I have not hardened any hammers as I do not have a big enough torch or a forge but a propane torch is fine for small parts like triggers. I don't mess with the hammer sear. I'd be skeered to try to harden a stainless part til I knew that it needed doing. They may be hard enough as is. The parts I've hardened have been triggers on soft Piettas and ASMs after messing with the trigger sears.
