Plastic Trigger Group on Benelli

[ksdjfdss]

After owning several Benelli shotguns; I am still caught on the plastic trigger group trigger guard and other plastic components. Thoughts other than just "its light"?

Anything Benelli does is innovative and fantastic. If Remington does the exact same thing, it is cheap. So sayeth the Italian Shotgun Mafia.

I think we should try to remoce ourselves from the belief that "palstic" equals "cheap." This is not the same plastic that toys ar made form.

These polymers are less expensive to produce; and usually just as durable, if not more durable than there metal counterparts.

Plastic is not a four letter word.

id have to agree most people hear plastic and they automatically think cheap. there is nothing about my supernova that feels cheap. it felt more solid than a good ole 870 IMO

Yeah....those pesky little plastic shotgun shells with their little plastic shot cups.

Plastic hulls and wads = litter, a blight on the landscape.

I like polymer trigger guards because wet hands won't stick to them like they do to frozen metal.

Plastic is a legitimate material. Some are stronger than equivalent pieces of steel.

A decade or so ago here I did a survey on plastic parts. The question was if anyone had a plastic part break on a shotgun, including those TGs.

Outside of Mossberg 500 safety buttons and the mag feed throats on Winchester 1200s, nope.
