Look at how much polymer (plastic) is used in your car. Lighter thus more energy efficient. Polymer frames have steel inserts for the wear surfaces for the most part. I think there have been a few pistols made with just the plastic for guide rails, etc.
I still think it's funny how they use the term "polymer" instead of "plastic". Milk jugs are made out of a polymer.
They also like to say "alloy frame" instead of "aluminum frame". 4140 steel is an
alloy.
