Personally, I don't worry much about casting vs. forged these days. I do worry about MIM and plastic, though. I still find it appalling that Colt uses plastic mainspring housings.

Price on a frame and slide only for the Caspian is about $700 (most expensive options). The Nighthawk frame and slide is around $800 (not many choices). I guess I should have done the math a little more carefully before my last post. There is a big difference in how the parts fitted in the two different frames.
You can avoid the MIM and plastic parts if you are building a pistol yourself as you have to order each part by itself.
