Well I am outside the us and have had only one gun, currently I don’t have any.
I have been looking around at all the models available to me with all the restrictions some of you know I have. There is my other thread explaining those restrictions:

I want to like polymer striker fired guns because:
- they are light weight
- same capacity in smaller lighter packages
- Easier to shoot (Iam told)
I don’t like them because:
- they are grossly overpriced in my country, typically 3 to 4x msrp
- I feel insecure with the lighter trigger.... I know it could a “training issue”. I carried with an empty chamber the first 2 months.
- they are ass ugly to my eyes
- I can’t get pass the fact that I M paying so much more money for a “plastic gun” than a metal one.
So as you see maybe only the trigger issue is a real issue... and i know it.
So when you make this kind of decisions, specially for edc items... do you “force yourself” to what is more practical or do you still find your subjectivity perception of the firearm getting in the way?
