What are some metal frame pistols that are still in production? By metal frame, I mean no polymer.

Yeah, that's true I guess. I think there just isn't any in my price range lol. I don't want a clone and I cant afford a Beretta, so I guess I'm SOL.
I'd like to see the day when the 1911 and Hi Power are obsolete

There are NO plastic guns in my safe. Just wood, steel and aluminum alloy.

In 2009, the U.S. Army bought 450,000 more M9's and the Marine's bought a large quantity of M9A1's.The Beretta M9, the current sidearm of our military, was chosen something like 20 years ago, when polymer was unproven from a long-term durability point of view. I would not be at all surprised if the replacement was polymer framed.
