Hi,

I believe I've read here that some of the parts of the Mauser Parabellum series of the 1970's were of cast steel not forged steel.

Many of the modern handgun have parts that are cast steel and MIM, and seem to be holding up well to regular, self defense, and +P loads. It is just better quality material, in my way of thinking, compared to the materials(steels) of the early and mid 20th Century.
