Please write and tell Bill Wilson that. He apparently missed the memo. Wilson Combat uses master gun smiths, cutting edge tolerance CNC, but won't use MIM.
From their website: "All Wilson Combat® Bullet Proof® parts are CNC machined from solid steel billets and precisely engineered for an absolutely perfect fit-no cheap castings or inferior, imported injection molded parts will ever wear the Bullet Proof® name."
Why would that be?
