[QUOTE="Ignored Member, post: 1004972, member: 8613"] are the Metal Injection Molding (MIM) parts really far inferior to forged? I'm about to start upgrading and making my springfield 1911 really mine and although I probably won't put over 20,000 rounds through it in it's lifetime, I don't want parts snapping and having to be replaced all the time. I like the cost savings that you can get with the MIM parts but I'm not sure what the lifespan of a hammer for example would be. Should I just take the time to save more money and do it right from the start with better parts? This is a gun that I will never get rid of so I don't care about resale value. just funtion. [/QUOTE]
