Are these guns all steel or steel and alloy combos?

I've seen mixed info both on Taurus' website and from reviews.

Any info on the guns you have?

I am not 100% sure about the trigger but the blued PT1911 Gov size I bought seems to be attracted to my magnet all over, including the mainspring housing. This usually means ferro-magnetic and usually means steel. I just got it and will weigh it and do some other exams before I shoot it. Right now I would say steel. How much is MIM is the next question. Still, an interesting 1911 for $500.

I read in some of their pamphlets that they weighted 38oz. That would make them have a lot of steel in there somewhere. I am all most sure some of the parts would be MIM.
