Venom, unfortunately for you most cast framed 1911 come equipped full of MIM parts, and the only way that you will find machine steel parts in a 1911 is if you go up to the custom or semi-custom 1911, get over it, MIM is hear to stay.

I'm just glad that at least the PT1911 is made of hammer forged steel even though it has quality MIM parts, if not I'd be paying out the wazo.

shoot safe, shoot straight, and have fun
