Railed Wilsons use the Cast Caspian frames to my knowledge.

I just do understand why you'd fret over the use of casting in firearms in the frame or slide when your ok with MIM internals. It just seems strange is all?

you just seem so hung up on them being forged? Can you please explain why?

All things considered I'd say MIM is the LEAST impressive method of making gun parts I've ever seen. While I wouldn't knock a gun for using it. I'm just confused why you are so concerned with slides and frames being forged rather then the actual bits that are important? I'd take a cast slide/frame gun with superior internals then a forged slide/framed gun full of MIM. Just my .02
