What are your guns made of?

so far, I'm the only one with two types...... only mine are coated with kryptonite!

Forged steel frame and slide for home defense on my bed stand.

Jeep console gun and everyday carry is aluminum alloy frame and steel slide.

No polymer. Yet

Arrrgh. I was going to add wood, but I don't have a wood framed gun.

Mostly steel for me, but i do have one w aluminum alloy receiver.

No plastic at present

I really don't know.

I have have mostly plastic guns which are obviously plastic. I assume my Girsan 1911 is steel? Heritage Rough Rider, I have no idea?


Tell me what I have and I'll vote...

I have all three.

In order: Steel, iron, plastic, aluminum, pot-metal, brass.

.....not a picky bunch. Nothing wrong with that.

Plastic is for toys.

Aluminum is for beer cans and airplanes.

STEEL, is what you make a proper gun with.

Should've added wood as an option. Steel and wood make the best firearms. Polymer has it's place but is hard to admire. Aluminum and polymer are both affordable (and lightweight). But firearms made from steel and wood are things you pass on.

My guns are steel. None have plastic stocks. Only one is stainless. From the days when guns were guns and men were men.

All three, Steel, Aluminum alloy and Polymer

Plastic guns are lighter and more weather resistant. If I didn't live in Humidsville, USA, I'd probably have a lot more
blued steel guns.

What? No pot metal for the RG and Raven crowd?

All three for me, but the majority are steel. I don't have a problem with modern materials, but there is something about traditional wood and steel that draws me in.

I could vote for steel, since that is what my antiques are made of but I can't vote for the material all of my superior guns are made of due to the fact that it isn't an option on the list, polymer!

I buy guns I like, or to do a job, and material is a distant third or fourth place on my checklist.
The CCW just happened to be polymer (a Ruger SR9c). Ones I like seem to be aluminum more often than not.
Properly cared for, I have nothing against any of the major materials. Though I'm still unsure if polymer will be heirloom quality, between how some plastics break down and the scratching evident in my SR9c's mag well.
I do miss my S&W 586. That had more solid steel than my current car.

I prefer all-steel guns, but have examples of all four (aluminum, steel, polymer, and "other alloy.")

Ive embarked on an intensive program to purge all the plastic bits (except grips) from my armory. I still need:

A trigger housing for a Marlin 70
A left-side safety lever for a Beretta 92
A magazine release for a S&W 422

Anybody has a lead on these, I'd appreciate it!

Steel and wood are what I like. Hey I'm an old guy. Have only one plastic gun and the only reason I have it is that I got it for free and my wife likes to shoot it.
