How do you REALLY feel about metal guns?

[Charlie]

I own and shoot both. But, I love a good revolver or semi(especially a 1911) in steel. I will throw out this to, I like wood grips better than synthetic, JMHO. Wood and steel have sex appeal.

Double "like"!

It's not about being offended, it's about re-hashing the same ole crap over and over again.

 

[Charlie]

Another "double like"!

Now we’re gettin’ nowhere.

I think we're "backing up"!

I love guns that need constant attention or they jam up or rust.

And.......

As long as you are backing up from plastic......


In 50 years, a quality wood and steel gun, in beat up, may be worth more than a new one. And have more character than when it was bought.
Plastic,,,,,not so much. It will just look like beat up plastic.

This is lame. I’ll check this thread later after y’all have had more alcohol.

Where are the haters?!?!

I cant post how i feel about metal guns here without offending a lot of the membership.

Really jonesin for one of the trade-in S&W's.

Better do it soon while they're cheap. Pretty soon we're all going to be saying "Damn we should have bought them then." I keep telling myself this now.

Wood and steel have sex appeal.

Yes they do.

I like the look, feel, strength and recoil absorption. I find them smoother all the way around. I'm not partial to any specific finish, yet I do prefer revolvers.

 

[Vaquero]

I like 'em.

As I stated in the other half of this thread, I like both metal and plastic pistols. My ratio between them is pretty close to 50/50.

I just counted and did the math:

87% of my pistols (excluding BP) are all metal (except for grips)

13% have polymer frames

I guess I prefer metal but I readily admit my EDC is a Glock. When it comes to the all metal guns, I think mine are about equally divided between those that are all steel as opposed to those with alloy frames. Someday, I'll take a magnet and test that.

Only the poors have to choose one or the other. Sickens me.

Interesting choice of words......
