The part can be used as it drops and that saves the company money and time. Some of that comes back to you as a lower cost. SOME
PS If you think MIM is bad Don't ever Fly or buy a car

So basically, what you're saying is I should quit crying about.

Seriously though. Like I said, all I know is what I read other's complain about MIM being a week part. Weather or not it's true is beyond my scope of expertize. I appreciate you explanation. That make me feel better.

Doesn't plane's and car's crash all the time from faulty part's. Just messin with ya.

I guess I'll just keep it and wait for the firing pin to brake that Smith just told me there wasn't a problem with those that they know of.
