Walther P99 maybe?
But it is possible to have both, in one gun.I'm not into the Soul thing but I am into cost effective tools such as Glock and the SW MP series handguns. I value function over artistic form.
Beautiful pistol ! I bet you paid a steel price for it, though.Browning black label medallion pro. The lower is plastic. I love mine.

I have a few of those soulless, evil, abominations. I just don't have any whose brand name starts with "G". I've a very, very good reason for not owning one. It's because I choose not to (okay, a small part of why I choose not to may be to irritate the "if you own anything other than a Glock you don't know anything" crowd. )
Nope. I’ve had several plastic guns over the years and am down to three. Two Springfields and my HK VP9.Does anyone have a plastic gun they just feel is a part of them?
What if you put rubber grips on your model 10 and stuff than in a hybrid holster?I love my plastics. But there is something about a nice polished model 10 that hits me in the feels.
I prefer steel. I mostly carry steel framed handguns. With that said, the only polymer handguns that I feel have even a fourth of the character of steel framed guns are made by HK.I have been on the lookout for a plastic/polymer pistol that stirs my soul like a good all steel on does. I’ve found nothing. There just doesn’t seem to be any character to the plastic fantastics. So I guess they are there for utilitarian reasons. Does anyone have a plastic gun they just feel is a part of them? If so give me the reason why and the brand. I’m still searching for that piece of plastic that completes me like my all metal pistols do.
This is not exactly how I feel, but it's pretty danged close. For me, reliability is first and foremost. Once I get that, some nice aesthetics or "soul" is nice to have. I had a Glock and it was a good gun. I became pretty attached to it, even though it wasn't "perfection." After a few years of carry, I didn't even think it was as ugly as I did when I first got it. Then I bought a S&W Shield. I always liked the looks of those, and I wasn't disappointed. My Shield 1.0 sent my G19 to be a safe queen. That Shield was 100% reliable over the course of about 4 years. Then they came out with the Shield Plus. I'm still only a few hundred rounds into it, but it's a fantastic pistol and I can't think of a single malfunction at the moment. I like the looks of the M&P pistols, but when you add excellent ergos (for me) and dead-on reliability . . . . now I find soul in that pistol.Whether a gun has "soul" or not has far more to do with what I have done with it than what it is made.
The Mona Lisa is still the Mona Lisa even if you put a burlap sack over it.What if you put rubber grips on your model 10 and stuff than in a hybrid holster?
+1... I have S&W M&P 2.0, Glocks, XDs, Berettas, Sigs, Walthers, etc polymer handguns, and HKs are the highest quality and only non disposal plastic handguns on the market.Maybe the Heckler & Koch Mark 23.[/QUOTE
