The rumor is that Kimber stopped getting their castings from S&W and started using MIM for their small parts right at about the point where common wisdom suggests that their quality took a slide. Same has been said of SIG's quality decline (markedly increased use of MIM). Interesting to note that the ex-CEO of Kimber is now CEO of SIG (Ron Cohen).
