Performance center revolvers use forged parts, not MIM. That should tell us something.
That S&W does not trust MIM parts for hard use.
My bet is it's simply for looks. The Performance Center also chrome plates the trigger and hammer on a lot of their models too which I believe is also for looks.
If the part are so bad, then there must be some evidence of that.
Now, you might say that competitive shooters wouldn't use something if it didn't work and that's 100% true. Anything that failed would be chucked aside. But it could simply be that forged parts provide no real advantage, except in easing the minds of shooters. Smith and Wesson might know full well that their MIM parts can, or could be made to, stand up to the use of competitive shooters but the worry warts wouldn't accept the switch.
No adverse wear, sear nose rounding, hammer hook gouging and so on.
I can see where that statement could work on either side of the MIM debate
Considered running for public office?
