[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2991201, member: 3099"] Lost wax casting is a very good process when done properly. Is it as good as forged? Probably not in all cases, but I'd bet that those that will turn up their nose at a "cast steel" framed 1911 wouldn't blink an eye at carrying an aluminum lightweight commander which is far inferior in strength and longevity. And to pile on a little more, Ruger has made the lost wax casting process an artform, they do cast gun parts for just about every company selling a cast gun since they are the very best at it. Okay not really piling on or singling anybody out, I'm just putting the info out there for the masses. :drunk2: [/QUOTE]
