Plastic

[MCQUADE]

I went out of town today to sale a gentleman a nice collectors piece. After the deal was done I desided to take my time going home and hit 5 gun shops on my way. I guess the good news is, there was ample stock of firearms at each shop, but, the polymer/plastic guns outnumbered steel guns by at least 10 to 1. No 10mm of any kind. The only decent steel gun I found was a used Blackhawk convertible. I ain't but 44 yrs old, but damn, I feel older now. I have my g20 and 29, but that's it for plastic. I'm so pissed I feel like dumping them (to buy some more 3rd gen smith's). Just venting, sorry

I feel your pain.

It was the reason I started my 10mm collection with the S&W1006, real stainless steel...then the addiction took over! 

Yes I got the plastic fantastics also...

    I have one plastic (the Wife's) and the rest are Steel. I don't even want an Aluminum frame after having one fail in my hand and don't like the feel of her plastic gun but it works.

Grim, don't short change yourself.

If S&W did the M&P in 10mm I would buy one. Same for Springfield but those are my two plastic go-too!

Sometimes being in the minority is the best place to be.

I would consider plastic only under these conditions: True double action, has a hammer, has a true safety. Maybe I would consider one of the polymer Witnesses.

Reaper, I was leary as heck when I saw them, and actually fired my first Glock.  I thought they were 
The thing about the Glocks are they are ready as in partially pre-cocked,squeeze the trigger and they go bang!  They hold plenty ammo vs. the weight of the pistol.
So many Law Enforcement agencies can't be wrong.  They are simple, easy to maintain and reliable...what's not to like!

Just cause they aren't wrong doesn't make them right

I like my Glock fine.  And it gets carried 1-2 days a week.  But I much prefer steel.

I have to say that one steel gun i admire the most is a Sig.I used on the job as a 357 sig and now a .45.Thousands of rounds,not one issue.They are so prime material for a 10,imho.

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.
