If a manufacturer does destructive test samples of his product to ensure quality, I have no problem with the finished product, and in fact prefer them for their superior surfaces. Since SW now offers lifetime warranties on their guns, it's easy to see their confidence in MIM's durability, since Smith didn't offer that warranty with the older, so called 'better' parts.
