Mostly BS. Virtue signalling crap from old nitwits who fight any change.
Smith & Wesson MIM safety..................still say MIM's being cheap ass is bullschitt?

I'm gonna call BS on your comment.............I work in the metal industry & there's no way that MIM has the strength & wear resistance of tool steel & forged steel.

Does it work? Yeah, more often than not, but in hard used applications, no, not compared to machined tool steel or forged parts.

And you can bet the farm on Vickers not using any MIM parts on the modified / reworked / updated 1911's.
