Yes, they are avaiable if you know where to look, or sometimes get lucky.
Never being a fan of MIM parts, I dropped a flash chromed hammer and trigger in my M442 and the matte trigger looked real slick with the Ti cylinder, also threw on a forged blue thumb piece.
Then I decided this particular gun would get a pass on MIM, since it's purpose is to shave as much weight as possible. Replacing hollow MIM parts with heavier forged parts is counterproductive, IMO. Yes, it's only a matter of grams, but a few here and a few there add up. Even the factory practices this, substituting a Ti center pin for steel and shaving the already lightweight frame a little in non-critical areas.
YMMV
