Another thought of mine...
The whole wall thickness subject can be a little mirky to
Some as to what is “safe to shoot” and what isn’t.

There are really two ways to look at it. Ultimately one can base their safety conclusions on thresholds of overseas proof house standards. But, anything beyond that is simply based on individual experiences and knowing “well, I have shot other guns with comparable measurements to ‘the subject’ gun, so it should be just fine.
In that type of scenario, different people may have different opinions on what is “thin”.
I have heard people say that they dont like anything with a minimum under .030”. Well, if that is the case, a TON of guns left factories then and now that were/are too “thin”.
