Went to Sportmans World today.... People are nicer .....but.... When I asked if any of the 1911 had any MIM parts they said they all did.... I mentioned that the CZ DAn Wessons didn't and they swore they did have MIM internals... I looked it up on my phone and showed them then their story changed and he said "Well CZ is just too heavy with no MIM parts...see feel this one." I know I look a little slow but really? http://www.cz-usa.com/press-releases/34/
I didn't care for their attitude the few times I have been there. In my opinion, they act like they really are put out with people coming into the store which begs the question, "why are they there?"
I'm sure there will be people that will step up and share their wisdom after I state my case however....It is not my case I state but an O'Timer Gun Smith who specializes in 1911's. After a long conversation and a hand full of failed MIM parts....I was a believer. And it's as simple as that. Besides...read about the process and you'll understand if the chemistry isn't perfect you'll get premature failure. Here's a very gross analogy strictly from me.... MDF last longer or a piece a lumber in its natural state? Eventually, the MDF will break down sooner. Oh....let's hear it now... lol GROSS ANALOGY works for me. No seriously.. I don't want to hear it.
Ahh the new dong thread. Gives me a chuckle every time.
I'm no Dong's fan (no pun intended) but they do have a decent selection of the odds and ends stuff one might need for an afternoon project or something. The main thing for me is I feel there is definitely some age discrimination going on. I may be in my 20's but I am perfectly capable of purchasing a firearm; which, based on their lack of any customer service, they apparently have no interest in selling to me.
In all fairness, I went there not too long ago to look at pocket pistols while I was in the area and they had a new employee who was very willing to help customers. It was quite busy and he made sure to get to everyone who wanted to see something. If he didn't know the answer to a question about price or availability (he was new after all), he made sure to get with someone who did (one of the useless other guys who were standing around) and get an answer to the customer immediately.

Dong's, 2A, Sooner & USSA are the only gun shops in Tulsa that have contributed to the fundraiser matches we have promoted. I'll support the stores that give back to the shooting community.
Cough Cough... LoL
Oh, nvm... I'm in BA... LOL
AND BANG! How could I forget that?! Sorry Patrick.
