In the next few months I will be purchasing my first polymer "tupperware" gun in 40 or 45 cal.( most likely 40). I have had in the past a mental problem with the idea of purchasing an polymer/steel gun. Don't know why. Guess I am old fashioned and guns are supposed to be metal. So I am wrestling with purchasing one of the following: Glock, XD or the new 24/7 pro. I know the Glocks have a faithful following but they are ugly and uncomfortable, The XD is more comfortable and is getting rave reviews (I like the 1911 style grip safety), but the Taurus 24/7 is the most comfortable poly I have ever p/u and fondled, but it is a Taurus so I know 40% of gun nuts already discount it's capability.
So help me with a few questions cuz I don't trust the magazines since they are ran by a bunch of elite, know it all, cater to the marketing dept yahoos.
#1. Has anyone or how long does it take for a poly gun to wear? What I mean by that does the steel insert in the poly slide wear faster or more noticibly than say a regular steel auto?
#2. I have shot a few, sigma, and an XD. Comparively do you find shooting a poly gun causes more fatigue after a couple hundred rounds due to increased recoil? Or a heavier steel full fram because of the additional weight?
#3. It does not appear that poly guns really hold much value. Tables at the gun shows are covered in glocks, sigmas and the like. Why do you suppose that is? The fact that they don't hold much value really has me leaning towards the 24/7
