MIM History

[tatume]

Please enlighten me on the history and timeline of the S&W use of MIM parts.

I think it started around 1997 for revolvers, with triggers and cylinder release latch. Soon thereafter, you got MIM guts, integral frame lug and the lock in 2001ish.

I knew from Supica & Nahas it started after 1994, but I needed more information. You were a big help. Thank you.
