You don't know the half of it.
When Smith & Wesson began using MIM parts to cut corners, they naturally passed on the savings to consumers by significantly reducing the prices we pay for their revolvers. Just a few years ago, their revolvers were significantly more expensive than they are today. Not so now, thanks to this new technology. They've also been able to reduce costs with their magic marker type bluing of guns that used to be much more beautiful.
Remember, if they hadn't found ways to significantly reduce costs, their revolvers would 1) be as expensive as Ruger revolvers are today, and 2) probably wouldn't have those handy internal locks and keys. So no complaining! Technology is our friend.
