Anyone ever replace (or feel the need to replace) the MIM parts (eg, slide stop) on any of the CW models with the regular CNC piece? Is this something that is important to consider. Thanks.

no. -
absolutely not worth replacing, since you almost never hear of any problem with breakage to that part
similarly, the barrel in the CM series is no worse in any practical way than the PM barrel. That is to say, the traditionally rifled barrel is no worse than the polygonally rifled barrell.Comment

Replacing mim parts
At first I thought that way, but not after owning my CW9 for a while. I also have a PM9. The quality of both guns and their respective machined and mim parts is excellent. This is coming from a mechanical engineer who also owns a manufacturing business.Comment

Not that I'm a big fan of MIM parts.
But think they work fine and make sense for the right applications.
Seems like some guns may be using MIM parts for critical components,
like extractors, where I think their use may be questionable.
But that's just me...Comment

In regards to MIM parts on Kahr pistols:
Personally, I like the look and shape of the "P" series slide lock and have them on all my "C" series Kahrs.

MIM has come a long way baby in quality. I would not care either way,.... My PM9 has over 34,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

Here's a very widely used MIM part...
It's the compressor vane for a jet engine. They seem to hold up pretty well.Comment

They can manufacture old wives with the MIM process?
Surely they're no worse than the originals.....Comment

Here's an interesting read on the use of MIM in the making jet engine parts (with particular emphasis on compressor vanes): http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA521729Originally posted by skiflydive View PostHere's a very widely used MIM part...

Something as minor as a bird strike can totally ruin the compressor vanes of a jet engine. Just sayin.Originally posted by gb6491 View Post

bt again that has nuttin to do with a bad MIM part, anutter reason why they try to get highg fast to avoid the big birds.
U think that is where the saying "my jets are all clogged up". Just sayin. My PM9 has over 34,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border
