With all due respect and not to start the typical MIM part fight, anything machined, be it forged, cast, stamped, molded, etc., IT IS PRONE TO FAILURE.

I agree that nothing is infallible, but if I'm betting my life on a firearm, I would not want to be on MIM parts. I rely on reputable manufacturers who don't take shortcuts to make a few extra bucks... just sayin'.

I'm not sure what you are just sayin.... which manufacturers do you consider reputable and which do you consider not reputable? ... just wondering.
