Interesting 1911 .22 Conversion Lower question

I have this question posted in a few forums... looking for insight on why you would not want to use a Stainless Steel Frame to build a dedicated .22lr 1911? I was told not to buy anything other than Carbon steel (by one of the best bullseye smiths in the country) yet, I am seeing several custom manufacturers and well known smiths using SS?

Is this just a personal preference or is there truly something to this? Anyone....

Stainless steel can "gall" on the slide rails. Since Marvel's are not fitted to the rails anyway (and most don't even have steel slides) it wont gall at all. I don't see what difference it makes.
I'll tell you what--the stainless metal is much harder to finish...I'm building an SS one right now, and that stuff is really hard to polish and sand...

I built one and it was fine, no problems as long as you get a good frame.

Built the one have have been using for a few year, works great. Building another one now.

My lower was built on a SS Caspian lower. Bob Marvel built it and he told me to order the stainless for looks...he said steel or SS didn't matter in making the lower.

FWIW

The Bullseye gunsmith may have had cost in mind as a stainless frame is usually a little more in price. Most advise against a complete stainless frame/ slide for glaring in the sun if you shoot at an uncovered firing line.
"Galling" of stainless steel auto pistols happened when stainless steel was introduced . There are now much better alloys of stainless that eliminates galling.
