Sabres MIM Parts?

[Shihan]

What do you guys think of them? I generally try to stay away from them in my 1911's when possible. But it seems they are everywhere now. It would seem a company like Sabre wouldnt use them? But they do use commercial tubes for some reason.

As of three weeks ago, they hadn't begun using MIM parts.

From the Director of Commercial Operations at Sabre:

"The fact is, we have yet to use any MIM parts in our guns. However, we hope to begin using MIM parts soon because they are superior to the cast parts that are standard for trigger components".

Personally, I see no downside to a properly manufactured MIM hammer/trigger in the AR platform.

I agree. It's the quality of the process that is more important than the type of process itself. MIM got a bad rep I believe mainly from Kimber in 1911's if I recall correctly.
