Of course the MIM parts line was a joke since the gun is a pre-MIM model. The only way MIM parts could have caused it would be if there was a MIM trigger stuck in the barrel.
The only B.S. I can detect so far is the claims to factory ammos' quality and reliability. People need to get out from in front of the computer and do some real shooting.

The gun does not look to have been heavily used...
While kB! are unusual with factory ammo, I have h ad one with Remington .40/180 practice ammo... head of the case blew where it is unsupported by the chamber... not a lot of fun, but I was shooting a BHP40 and the only damage was an extractor blown to parts unknown...
Truth is factory ammo is not perfect... every see a round with the primer seated upside down? Or no flash hole? or No primer? I have seen all that and a few more more problems... it is not common...but it does happen with any brand of ammo.
FWIW

Maybe the ammo was Buffalo Bore, the ones that were meant for Rugers only!

Probably just finished Unintended consequences, went downstairs to the reloading bench and, like the character in the book, loaded up some rounds with a caseful of 2400. It'a amazing how many take some of what was written in John Ross' book seriously.
As for Factory Ammo, I bought a box of Gecco(Sp) 158grain SJHP .357s once that locked up a model 28 that I routinely ran 14.9 grain 2400/158SWC loads through wth no problems. sent it to a gunwriter I knew. He ran a round through a short-barreled T/C Contender and it clocked at 1627fps! I've no doubt that, if it were anything but a 28, I would have eaten some steel!
