Correct Metal Injection Molding (MIM). The only 1911 I have now is a S&W stainless 1911, never had a problem with it. Came with two mags, but you can't ever find them for sale anywhere. I purchased a few Wilson Combat 47D mags a while back but have never tried them out yet. For lube I use a stainless anti-static grease type stuff Sinclair came out with a few years back. Just a little tube but seems to last forever. Just message a little into the metal and reassemble.

Read where S&W 1911 is Swartz. Not sure how many MIM parts S&W uses in these guns.
What’s your experience with that system?
