Duty Treatment and Hard Hat Treatment are the same type of process as Tenifer, Melonite, etc. that is - Ferritic nitro carburizing . That IS NOT a surface coating. It is part of the metal and the treatment penetrates and hardens the surface of the metal.
Someone correct me here if needed, but I believe? DW switched over to the Duty Treatment sometime in 2010.

You are Exactly Right! The Duty "Treatment" is part of the Metal and yes, Dan Wesson started doing it in 2009-2010, they continue doing it and as far as I know will always do it on those guns. NOT a Paint & Bake like Wilson, Baer, Brown, and others. VERY Tough Finish! Nearly un-scratchable!

No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson
“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”
