There is nothing wrong with using certain parts that are MIM such as the Sear and Disconnect being the most common, it is where parts come under allot of stress such as thumb safeties, hammers, extractors, slide stops and the like as they take allot of impact type forces where a forged and machined bar stock piece would fare much better.So I'm curious. Are they right about not wanting MIM parts in a 1911?
So I'm curious. Are they right about not wanting MIM parts in a 1911?
I would guess that M&P and Glock are full of MIM parts. My current carry 1911 and my competition 1911 both have MIM parts. Someday I will have those refit but for now they run fine. Non-MIM in 1911 and 870 extractors are regarded by most as having a longer service life.
Ok, so how much "better" would a dan Wesson be VS a Springfield TRP or even the MC Operator?
Mim in extractors are better than hammer, sear, disconnector, slide stop, and safety. I've completely stripped and finished several middle of the road 1911's like kimber, sig, s&w, Sti and refit them with quality steel parts. I trust them all with my life. I'm not a glock hater either. I love my glocks. Point being 1911 shouldn't have mim parts. Side note. Dave does all my machining and refenishing and is top notch. I highly recommend him
No. But I think you will start about 13. Thats what I found a Guardian for recently.Are all Dan Wesson 1911's around $1700?

Most are if they have the Duty Treat finish (generally a $300 upgrade or so), there is a BNIB Dan Wesson Specialist in stainless that is $1300 right now and that is a good deal.Are all Dan Wesson 1911's around $1700?
I swear Dan Wesson needs to start paying my ass a commission lol
So let's say I bought a TRP. How much money am I looking at to start swapping out the MIM parts?
I'd actually like to shoot a stock 1911, and one that has been modified. Or even a Dan Wesson.
