Go with Glock. Reliability, durability, accuracy, ergonomics, and good looks to match. Check out the new glock annual and read about the articles about the glock that was submerged in the Puget Sound (salt water) for three months, the one that was in a drainage ditch for three years, and the one that was buried in a dump with the slide locked back for seven and a half years. And they all still worked. Talk about Glock tough. My Sig gets surface rust after a two mile run.
Whoops! You are right - & I knew that. I meant to point out that it wasn't a plastic, but I should have metioned the alloy frame.
I need to find out about the grips they have on these guns. I sort of like the rosewood. But I gotta admit, I couldn't afford the fur coat that would have to go along with the pearl grips & gold accents!
