But it isn't straight from CZ. You found it on another internet forum, which is one step removed from CZ in the whole telephone game of life.

He said he contacted CZ support and they replied that yes they indeed have some MIM parts in them. That really shocks me because a big deal was made about them using no MIM when they were released to market last year. When I first tore down and inspected my pistol I didn't see any tell-tale sprue marks, however the sear and disconnector were exceptionally well-finished and polished bare in spots, which if they are MIM means the sprue marks were sanded off during final polishing. I went off the earlier assurances that there were no MIM parts when I did my review of the pistol, but I guess now the cat is out of the bag. While I agree that using MIM parts shouldn't be such a big deal, for some people it is and the fact that we were originally told there was no MIM is a little disappointing.

Maybe I read it wrong. Perhaps bamashooter can show us the actual forum thread in question.

Didn't mean to start a stink. Scroll down to post #11. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/90009-cz-1911a1/

No worries. Just remember that around here finding out that your gun contains MIM is like seeing your girlfriend without makeup for the first time. You still lover her, but...

No idea. Feel like I'm on a CZ bashing mission of late but that's not the case. To me it really is a nice pistol. Very well made. Just feels and fires "stout" if you know what I mean. Those Japanese make some good steel.:biglaugh:

I hate to bash the pistol as well, because overall it was a spectacular pistol at the price point. I realize now why they wouldn't help me with a new thumb safety for mine, because even as they were making the second batch they were already planning on pulling the plug and never had a chance to make any additional components.
