I suppose if you want an all metal gun these day you need to dig deeper into your pocket. I just purchased a polymer framed pistol. Although it seems to be a decent shooter it does not strike me as being an heirloom. Not something I would be proud to leave to one of my grandsons. They have a couple of model 12 Winchesters and bamboo rods coming which should satisfy that heirloom quality need. Yet if the boogie man shows up here the plastic gun should take him out.

To read reviews of plastic guns around the internet folks talk like they're the best thing ever. Plastic can not be as good or last as long as steel. We've been duped. Its all about cost of production.

The world has changed as has the quality of almost everything I buy.
