[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3037702, member: 1132"] For me it goes like this: Known quantity production runs (like mightymouse discussed). For example, I'd snatch up a Norinco 1911 for the right price to use as a base before some big name manufacturers products [LIST] [*]Know quality brands with specific production dates (goes back to know quantity production runs) [*]Materials used and specs [*]Forged preferable [*]Cast or MIM only from certain manufacturers. [/LIST] So while I might take a Nork, Springer or Colt over a Ruger or S&W for a base gun, I might buy a Ruger or S&W 1911 as a near finished product before another (say, Kimber or Remington). IOW, whether it's cast or forged isn't anywhere near my top criteria, but it may be used to set my "in order of preference" lineup. :) [/QUOTE]
