A handi is so easy to clean, I just don't see that ss is any advantage, in fact, I don't see ss as any advantage in any rifle. It looks nice, that's about it. It will still rust if you don't take care of it. I've hunted in the rainy pacific NW for the better part of the last 50 yrs and have never had a problem with rust in any rifle or shotgun and the only ss rifle I have is one I bought this year. I have several blackpowder guns and none are stainless, no rust or corrosion there either with simple maintenance, nothing out of the ordinary. :wink:
