Be honest, do you really prefer plastic over steel? Sure, your plastic is a little lighter, but is that worth the sacrifice of durability and precision?
You'd lose that bet. There's a reason SDV Teams told NSWC to screw off when they were ordered to turn in their MK23's for P226's.HK 23 is a freak on steroids with a 6" barrel. I hope it does better than most. I bet my Sig P220 Combat w/5" barrel shoots better than the average HK 23

It's still RUST and it can still DAMAGE the gun, regardless of where it originated.Come on now ... that photo is misleading because the SIG frame is aluminum and aluminum oxide is white, not reddish brown. What you're showing there is rust from a steel magazine that corroded. If you're going to make a point, at least assume that your audience has half a brain!!
resting on the decision of dopey budget minded cop gets you a budget minded pistol with high capacity, glock. I'd never take stock in what you local cop department embraces.
I admit itAgree 100%
The Polymer framed gun is like the reliable jeep. Not pretty but always starts and gets you where you need to go. If I could only have one handgun and I knew it needed to last for a lifetime, I'd pick something like G19.
Fortunately, I don't have to make that choice and have a large assortment to choose from. And strapping on blued steel and wood is as much fashion statement as personal protection (admit it).
