      You can induce a magnetic field in a nonferromagnetic metal by exposing it to an oscillating magnetic field… I would imagine an MRI would qualify.

      Not applicable to this case I suspect, but relevant to your question.

        Maybe it depends on the metal, but I have titanium artificial disks in the base of my back that are safe to put through an MRI.

          Titanium is very minimally interactive. It is still affected by Lenz’s Law, which means it does interact with magnetic fields (a current is induced), but you’re right that the effect is minimal enough so as to be disregarded.

      Not just the firing pin, but the side, barrel, and plenty of other parts on a Glock are not just metal but steel. The frame is the only thing that’s plastic.
