Pete (darkgael) asked:
I'm not a metallurgist and so....this question -
Quote:
hardened (and thus brittle)
Is that always true? Any metal that has been hardened is brittle?

Hawg Haggen responded:
Any metal that is hardened will break before it bends and a sear is very thin, so yes brittle fits.

This puts a new meaning to the old phrase: A trigger that breaks like glass.
