Personally, really doesnt matter to me. They both have their places but polymer guns seem to hold up more over the ages but again technology is always evolving.

I have both. No real preference. As long as it goes bang when the trigger's pulled.

There's a SR1911 the grips look better on stainless than polymer I think . Then there's a half and half I really wish it was all blue even so I could have powder coated it all but the bronze is real nice . Solid polished 4.5 inch mark lll hunter target stainless 850 made and it's a Talo discontinued with coco bolo . A coat clear coat glock again a half and half it would have been sweet ti do bottom in purple. And hunter again
thanks Jason!

Looks like that glock could use a touch on on the paint wink wink

I prefer plastic Glock's with lead bullet's.
Really I have a little experience with both steel and polymer. I like polymer because of the weight saving's.
Most of my steel handguns are revolvers that have been worked on and are smooth as silk.

It depends on the individual firearm. I've held steel weapons that I didn't find comfortable to shoot and the same with polymer ones. If it feels good and is well made I'll use either.

That's pretty much how I feel. As long as they perform the function they were purchased for, metal or polymer isn't much of a concern to me.

Haha agree! I haven't owned a metal pistol yet.. Nothing against them, I just really wanted the XDm and the XDs.. Metal is next on the list!

I have shot a wide variety of hand guns as I have been learning, buying, and renting - probably over 30 in the last two years.
The 3 guns that have stood out far and away as the best feeling when the gun fires are the three metal ones - Beretta 92, Springfield 1911 TRP (which I own), and the Ruger Super Redhawk (which I want to own).
It is simply not even close. I own two poly guns for the reasons you would think, the same ones Ringo has (smart man) the XDm and XDs, but if all I did was walk up to shoot and you handed me a gun, give me metal.
