I have mixed feelings about plastic. I know they're cheaper to make and everyone swears by them, but I still have reservations. I have one plastic fantastic, but I've got mixed feelings about it and debate a Sig M17 instead.
In a way I feel like plastic is gun control by attrition. I probably wouldn't feel that way if the 2A was rock-solid among all political subsets. I've probably read too much about how plastic will outlast you and all, but where are all the gen 1/2 glocks? I'm not saying they're bad, just that the plastic "experts" seem to think they'll last longer than you will. If that's true where are they?
I know some may collect them, but I've never encountered anyone who carries "old" plastic. I don't like the idea of brittle plastic in 20-30 years.
