That particular term is usually a dig a Kimber products which use Metal Injection Molded parts as opposed to the all steel, carved by hand from a chuck of Thor's Hammer.

That almost looks too nice to be a project gun! My first project gun was an old Dan Wesson Panther I bought in a pawn shop for $500. Or at least I thought it was going to be a project gun. It didn't need "improving." That's when I saw the light and was converted to an "Enlightened Pistolero".

So my project gun was a used Colt Series-80 that cost $200 more than the Dan Wesson. That one took two years of TLC to get it working right.

Well, it's more of a "project" to get my hands dirty...not that the pistol needs work. In fact, I have not shot it yet. Hopefully this week I can sneak out to the range and throw some lead out of it.

I would like to try my hand at checkering, Vbob, trigger work, and some chamfering to say the least. I just can't see myself "practicing" on a $1000 pistol.
