from what i can recall stainless guns made their surge in the 1970's and 1980's. machine tools developed and cnc could keep tolerances tight and make more per hour, thereby being profitable.
smith and wesson was one of the last mfgs to get into cnc guns. handwerk by a good gunsmith is very time consuming fitting parts correctly. thats what you pay for when you deal with springfields or smith and wessons, remingtons,mcmillians or anybodys custom shop is the handfitting and mic ever part to the nats ass dead nuts tolerance. thereby having a tight gun.
and as everyjuan knows.............having a tight gun is as important in life as finding a tight ass!
