Dosvidanye. Yes, you have to grind the steel down about or more than 3x the original depth of the stamped letters/numbers to lose them completely to acid recovery techniques... and that starts getting down to where it might weaken the gun and you might get nervous about firing it after grinding. Some crims may of course just attempt to obliterate the numbers by overstamping, a harder nut to crack. I like the suggestion by @canross about RFID chips. They are cheap as, just go to the scrap yard and get some modern car keys and each has a chip embedded you can use.
