After detail stripping the new Government and closely examining each part, I don't think any of them are MIM, not even the slide stop, thumb safety, or the grip safety. So I called Colt, and the rep said they did try a few MIMs earlier, but went back to all cast parts. I'm not 100% on this since I haven't seen them make one of these guns with my own eyes. I'm just saying that my conclusions about the parts agree with what the rep said.

My sear doesn't have burrs on the nose, but the engagement surface is not the smoothest or straightest I've ever seen. It doesn't look to have been ground, like you'd see in an aftermarket sear. The rest of the internals appear to be either stainless or in the white. I also see the casting circles and the molding lines.
Check out Chuck's pictures, some pretty radical custom jobs there. Chuck, I take it one of your interests is building custom comps?

Thanks for your info about the internal parts. I agree with you that the plastic triggers hold advantages over any other material. I do think they're ugly though. They would look much better if they had a pattern or holes cut out in their center. Or if they were shorter.
