Unfortunately, this thread is confined to 1980+ revolvers and MIM parts. S&W is installing MIM parts in their semi-autos as well. I purchased a 1911SC for concealed carry. After ~200 rounds and while shooting +P Hornady TAP, CQ loads, the magazine release broke in 1/2 and the gun became 100% inoperable. Imagine you're in a SHTF situation and a gun part fails.... I replaced the release with an Ed Brown CNC milled part and sent the broken part to S&W. No reply......
