Why do MIM parts work well in so many guns, machine parts?
Turbines and compressors on jet engines.
But not 1911s?
Conflict due to old designs vs characteristics of MIM?
If you are a metalurgist, shed some honest light on the topic please.
It is something often brought up in these discussions, but I've never
seen any anti MIM guy explain it. Just the Pro MIM folks throwing
it out there.
I dont dispute the superiority of billet or forged.
But hell, you can find arguments about which of those are superior.
For the most part, my posts were tongue in cheek,
laughing at the whole dam fight.
My 1911 has more MIM than I like.
Thing works fine, and is a range toy.
If it was envisioned to be a serious gun, it would get a few hundred dollars
of parts installed by a local 1911 guy.
