    I don’t like plastic too. Together with striker system it’s a complete no-go to me. I shot Glocks, APX, Walther P99... I’ll stick to my Bernardelli P-One. Forged steel frame and slide. Rock-solid. Accurate and beautiful. Maybe a Colt 1911 sooner or later. But no plastic, striker fired or similars.

    Yes, I agree especially the beautiful. I understand that plastic guns have their place and tools of the trade. If I were still in the military I'm sure I would rather have the plastic in the field over the steel but only because of the reduction in weight. For personal use, I want something that feels solid in the hand, one that won't look beat to hell in a year or two, and is something that can stand the test of time and be passed down to my kin.
