The bottom line is; there just have not been enough m.i.m. parts
failures to note.
Only one where the part from the factory was defective that
I can recall. And that was a trigger rebound slide.

M.i.m. parts are just no better/ no worse than forged, they just are.

The lock is a whole nother story. Especially with that goofy arrow
acid etched into the FRAME above the hole to tell you which
way to turn it.
My gosh, if we ever bent to the left in our lifetimes, this is the
greatest example.

No rant. Just my very own opinion.

Good luck

Edited to add;

A lot of m.i.m. parts here on my favorite model 625s'.
If I had AnY doubt whatsoever about their ability to perform their
function, they would have been sent back to S&W P.C. for forged
parts replacement.





With respect, looking at the picture of your revolvers... beginning at 6 0'clock, what are the two revolvers immediately to the right of just below the revolver w/ the dark grips at 3 O'clock? Sincerely. bruce.
