Remember her???
I tried a search but came up wanting. Just what does "MIM" mean? I'm currently waiting to pick up a Model 629-5, 61/2" bbl., Classic. I saw the sticky re: whining, etc., and found there are MIM haters. Why? Is the quality of a MIM part less than whatever was the "normal"? Is MIM cosmetic? Is it "fragile"? Does it affect accuracy? Does it reduce reliability? If so, can it be swapped out for an "original" part?
