Opinions on these?

I like everything about it except for the ambi safety which can be easily changed, the only thing I'm concerned with is the material.

Do these stainless guns wear out any quicker than carbon steel?

Also, is it true that Colt does not use any MIM parts?

Some stainless guns can gall but I dont thing they wear any faster. Maybe they only go 485,000 rounds versus 500,000 before being a worn out beater but I doubt it.

Galling was solved decades ago by using different stainless alloys in the slide and frame. Colt uses 2 or 3 MIM parts, I can't remember.
