Almost 27 years using 3rd gen pistols, over 39 separate examples in multiple calibers and I only ever broke one part.

A MIM mag catch on my LE 4516-3 snapped during a match like the cheap pot metal it was.
My emphasis added above.

Comments like this always make me chuckle-especially the adjective "cheap". You have to wonder how many MIM parts in the 39 Gen 3 pistols performed without issue. I can understand about being peeved due to a gun failure during a match but we all know that couldn't possibly influence an opinion concerning the cause of the difficulty.
