Dishwasher safe.

I carry a Glock everyday and have no problem with it. That being saaid I was born about 50 year to late. I am OLD SCHOOL when it come to my guns. I like steel. Why cause I like it. I know plastic works and is strong but steel is what i grew up with. In rifles and handguns, My first plastic gun was issued to me by the good ole US Goverment and they told me it was the best and to take care of it. What a bunch of shit that was.

I bought my plastic Glock 29 for a reason.

One time in northern California, had to jump a creek while hiking. It wandered through a  grass meadow, deep but narrow, maybe seven feet wide. Made the jump, but the bed collapsed under my weight and backpack. Fortunately, I leaned forward, grabbed grass to keep from sinking, but my pants up to the waist got wet.

Dried out the Glock, no problem. 

Glocks make great woods guns.

I always have at least one on me when I am hunting predators at night as a backup to my Mossberg.

Especially for anytime one is in the woods packing plenty of any other gear.  A few ounces less in firearm weight can start making a noticeable difference.

No doubt. I carry enough gear in the woods as it is.

About the only thing I don't mind in plastic

Well, I'm just old.....I like wood and steel myself with firearms. That being said I still think highly of my G20SF and M&P 357 Sig. Maybe not as pretty, but quite functional, none the less, as my Smiths and Colts. Like yourself Uncle Sam gave me one of those 'made by Mattel' rifles long ago.....never thought very highly of it either.

I really don't care for plastic eating utensils.  When the going gets touch, my fork tends to break tines.

I don't perceive the same issues with plastic guns.  In fact, in a Zombie apocalypse, I would probably be happier to stumble across a glock than a 1911.  I would have more confidence it was "good to go".

But in guns I test and use, I prefer a good 1911.
