at least Colt ain't doing no MIM parts in revolvers
Or even producing revolvers with that new-fangled double action thingy

Barrels and cylinders are made from bar stock, the same as all the other makers.
I have had no issues with MIM parts. It shoots just as well as any other older revolver I have ever used, and keeps going. I would buy another.
How does one objectively measure if the parts are "the best parts ever?"
manufacturers could produce guns which cost much more, but would they remain in business?
MIM parts, as manufactured by S&W, are the same harness all the way through. This makes them brittle.
A good time to be a gun and shooting enthusiast
I've never seen a single problem on any gun I've owned due to MIM parts.
The MIM part can be hardened just as a forged part can and further and can be smoothed during action tuning.
I've been told that MIM parts can be smoothed by stoning and it doesn't take much to slick them up.
what does that tell us?
