Polymer/Metal

One thing for sure, if my gun ran out of bullets I'd rather hit the bad guy upside his head with my Ruger SP101 than my CW45.

The man has a point!

None taken, hehe. And when the horse dies, it doesn't leak battery acid into the ground or require thousands of dollars to dispose of it. Green ain't always as green as greenies think it is.

They recycle 99% of all the materials used to make a car battery including the acid. Just sayin' Oh wait a minute -- I'm arguing against my own argument...nevermind

So whats so wrong about an outhouse anyhow, never have to use a plunger.

But in the winter you need an old broomstick to knock the pile over...

[Bawanna]

You still do piles? Impressive.

Well, 100% of paper, plastic, and glass are recyclable too...doesn't mean people at large do it in significant numbers. I'm quite sure if I go to a junkyard, I could find an EV/hybrid battery somewhere. And I know some of them are safe for disposal in a landfill, I was just carrying forward w/ your topic deviation. Carry on

they build up over time...duh

Besides -- I gets plenty of fiber.

who's calling me a deviant?????

No one mentioned grip, which was a surprise. Cost was mentioned. No one mentioned life of firearm.

I mentioned the grip. No one knows the life of a modern polymer gun... nor the life of a modern steel gun for that matter. We'll know in a few hundred years I guess.

It's all a matter of what YOU like and want. Nothing else counts.

You can carry more bullets with less total weight with a polymer pistol. You won't have to use your pistol as a club!

METAL!

My Bersa Thunder 9UC (alloy frame) weighs the same loaded as a G19.

And that 9UC has a sweet SA trigger too, at least my wife's does.

I have been shooting handguns off and on for 35+ years. By no means an expert though. Always learning. I have owned one partial polymer firearm, an SR40. Sold it. I currently own all metal firearms, and have no plans to purchase a polymer firearm. Besides the weight issue, I have not found a single reason to own a polymer firearm. Am I missing something? I just cannot think of another reason to own one. This may have been discussed before, haven't looked back to prior posts. Thoughts?

All current production Heckler and Koch handguns are polymer.
That's good enough reason for me.

Amen.

I only own one Kahr, it's an MK40. Very nice pistol and I love it. I also own a S&W .40 Shield, it to is a nice pistol. The Sheild has less recoil with the same ammo than what the MK40 has. The Kahr shoots nice I'm not knocking it. It is a classy looking pistol with the wood grips. But it does not carry IWB as well as the Smith at all. But does shoot every bit as well, just a little bit more felt recoil. Which surprises me because it is way heftier than the Shield. I also have a S&W .40 compact that I carry, it's a little hot rodded up with a trigger job and some nice night sights, I could shoot the balls off a knat at 50' with that gun. I carry that in the colder months, very nice CCW. But I will never part with my Kahr, for it's size it is very accurate, and is so cool looking for a small pistol. I do not like the PM and CW series Kahr pistols though. Their are better poly guns for the money than those two series. The PM gun is way over priced for the added benefits over the CW.
