Steel: 1911
Polymer: Glock
I know nothing about revolvers so I will defer to others on that.

Berreta 92. My brother was an armorer for the Air Force. There were a lot of 92s or m9s if you will, that he was responsible for and no matter the age or appearance they all cycled and put lead down range.
I understand your disagreement. I must say the guns functioned well on the base and had no malfunctions that were attributed to the sidearms themselves.
I think the issue was that I used the extractor to remove the main spring housing and in the process I changed the tension the night before...
I agree 100%.If I had to pick a gun, sight unseen, history unknown, to just pick up and use, I would take a Glock every time. I'm a 1911 guy, but I think that after the nuclear dust settles, it will be cockroaches and Glocks left.
For revolvers, all of them will outlast most shooters, but if I was to instigate a head to head torture test, I think the Rugers and S&Ws will keep banging long after the Rossis, Charters, and Tauri have had failures in their lockwork.
If you believe the environmentalists, it takes a very long time for plastic to break down.would a polymer gun really out live me? I know they are reliable and can be shot plenty but plastic breaks down over time.
