I have been thinking hypothetically about getting a 10mm semi auto for kicks and giggles. I know the EAA Witness lines come in both steel and poly, 1911s in steel, and Glocks in poly.
My question is: What will be more durable in the long run, Polymer or Steel framed???
My thoughts are this...
Advantage Steel: Steel is generally stronger than plastic and has been used for centuries for things from guns to engine blocks
Advantage Poly: Poly is perhaps less brittle and might flex and absorb recoil vs crack like steel, "the branch that bends does not break" comes to mind.
What says you High Road?? I know there is alot of Glock love, but I'm hoping more of a material comparison as I favor the Witness line.
