Stumpnav Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Okay, all of us sophisticated students of the spiral tube know we need to get good parts. Not every one can, or needs, to buy a Kimber-Field etc and replace all the mim parts with real steel. What 1911 would you recommend to someone that is going to shoot a couple hundred rounds a month. They still don't want their thumb safeties breaking and sears doing whateveritis sears do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 manufactures that use mim Colt Kimber Springfield STI (the safety you mention is probably a later mim version) Para (newer LDA parts, power extractor etc.) Wilson Beretta (trigger bar, and when you do a trigger job you will see it dents easly) Winchester mod 70 trigger Smith, auto and revolver, not Pref ctr though. Taurus, and offering to do mim for other companies. Chip McCormick NO mim Baer, (he had a lab do some testing and it came back DON'T USE!) RRA and they put it in there adds Ed Brown (so far as I know and have seen) Wilson's more expensive guns Night Hawk SIG GSR (so far, hiring the coo from Kimber may change that?) SV? EGW and the VAST majority of other Smith's. (at least the better ones) Caspian geo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumpnav Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 So you're telling me the power extractor in my new P16 is mim? If I want a production 1911 without mim, it looks like a GSR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
