I watched two friends struggle with Hardballers in the 1970s.
One was a machinist, he would attack anything. His had the strangest feed ramp you ever saw, but it was a FEED ramp, as the factory shape was not.
The other was an advanced amateur, a pretty good hand tool gunsmith.
His ended up with a lot of Colt internal parts, but the frame and slide wore well.
He shot it a documented 6000 rounds of what would now be termed +P and the gun showed only burnishing that smoothed the rails, no peening or battering anywhere.
