The results were interesting; when it comes to manufacturing precision, tolerances, durability, economics, and design geometry, MIM parts are every bit the equal of forged, and superior to cast.
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?
