I've always been an all steel guy. But later, I accepted the lighter weight steel/aircraft aluminum combination. That's still all metal. Right ?
I never liked the Glock. Didn't look like a real gun, ugly, not all metal, and made with a lot of what is actually "plastic" !
Later, I delved into the steel/polymer realm, buying a Kel-Tec P-32 and a SCCY CPX-2. They have mixed reviews, but seem to perform satisfactorily.
Recently, I became aware of police department and military surplus trade-ins, many of which were of the steel/polymer construction. Did the plastic part become chipped, cracked, or otherwise damaged from contact with the steel?
Why were they being traded in ? Were the guns still any good ?
What happens when the plastic wears out ?
