The Colt M1991A1 only has 3 small MIM parts and is pretty "basic" as far as 1911s go today. That is about as close to a basic 1911 with no MIM as you're going to get.

Alot of Kimber hate here....did I get the only good one? LOL Seriously, my TLE II is about 6 years old and I have shot it quite a bit and the thing is accurate and has never hiccupped once. Yeah....shocked me, too but I guess they had to make one good one, eh?

I also own a 6 year old Saab that has been almost no trouble, either. I have had more troubles out of Chevys and Fords, to be honest. Wife always says, "I thought this car was supposed to suck?"

Bottom line: even sketchy makers CAN produce a good one now and then! LOL
