Colt 1911 made from inferior metals

I guess we can say good by to Elmer’s glue in schools now.

I think this might be a Metal Injection Molding (MIM) issue. I understand that Colt is using this technique to make some parts now. Like any new technique, there is a learning curve. Like any technique, its possible to do wrong.

Colt uses less MIM parts than Springfield, Kimber, S&W.

The claim of inferior metal is just BS hearsay without any knowledge of facts.
