Well I talked to Smith.

Let's just say I'm not too enthused. It is in fact a new barrel design that IS MIM. He said that's the way they are going to be from now on. I asked if I could get an old barrel, even if I had to pay for it. He said they used them all up. Heck, he wouldn't even give me a new lazer screw. Said they were out of those too.

So boo hoo for me. Now for a reality check. Is there anything wrong with a MIM barrel, other than looking cheezy. My first instinct is a reaction from what I've read on the net. MIM is bad. MIM is evil. Stay away. Would you guy's want a gun with a MIM barrel. I'm sure I can't, but should I try to send it back. I'm sure they'll tell me sorry Charlie. Or should I just quit crying and take it like a man.
