so what!
i have a protection trained belgian malinois with a pedigree full of french ring II and III. i had first pick of the litter and he was the alpha pup. i used to buy him those really big,really heavy bones. i forget now what part of the cow those bones came from but they were really strong and super heavy. he used to pop the knuckle ends off in under a minute and then proceed to destroy and eat the ends and eventually the rest. it was very upsetting considering what i paid for them and use to have to take it away and give back only when he was bored.(bones can "pack" in a dogs stomach or intestines too)
so what!
i have no doubt a powerful dog can chew through any polymer part of a gun. the only reason he didn't dent,bend or scratch up the steel is probably because the steel parts feel uncomfortable in his mouth while the polymer felt really good. a powerful dog could probably bend,from front to back,the open grip frame on many all steel pistols too,if he really wanted too,not to mention destroy the wood.
so what!
all of you polymer haters out there will use even this as a way to reinforce your unacceptance and prejudices of polymer but it will not influence me one iota,not one. it just has too many advantages over all steel for some uses,like much lighter weight and spending less while having a weapon that works very well for you.
i love all steel guns,especially when there's wood on it. i like aluminum less than steel or polymer because i feel it's lighter than steel when i prefer something heavier but heavier than polymer when i want/need something lighter. i also think that all three being equally well and properly made,that steel or polymer is stronger than aluminum,but you know what? there are some really well made aluminum framed pistols out there that are so wonderful,that i like those too.
besides,most people don't have the slightest clue as to the actual physics involved when a gun fires. in fact,that polymer glock that the rotty chewed through,if it's still serviceable,if you can still insert a mag and so on and so forth,it would still out last most all steel pistols out there on a number of rounds contest.
...and by the way,i don't like glocks,my choice lies elsewhere,..but i'm not going to burry my head in the sand and not accept the facts before me,then again,i believe in the freedom for you to buy which ever you want.
so keep your dogs away from your polymer pistols,and for that matter,away from your steel ones too. funny thread though.
