I am gun guy. Not a weapon guy. So take this question with that in mind.
I have lots of tactical Tupperware and all of it extremely well made and durable. It shoots well and provides a myriad of advantages as far as capacity, weight, maintenance etc. all of these things are for all practical purposes the better "weapon".
That being said nothing shoots like a full size steel pistol or revolver. They just feel good, look good, offer easy ways to customize etc. again I am saying this as a guy who has no aspirations of being a cop or door kicker or any fantasy of ever using violent force of any kind. So shooting to me is very much for pleasure.
So with a generation or so of new shooters brought up with Glock and the myriad of Glock clones do we think any of them will sort of ever go full circle/retro if you will driving some demand of new steel framed guns or has that shipped sailed forever? I mean who would have predicted a polymer revolver???
I mean DA/SA seems to be undergoing a bit of a resurgence so I wonder if steel will too at some point.
Now if you are reading this and all you are looking for is a weapon to protect your family or for your job etc. get a Glock 19 and be happy(or any of the other perfectly wonderful other options). If you are a newish shooter who just enjoys shooting do yourself a favor and branch out a little. Try a big ole' shoot in' iron or wheel gun sometime. You may be surprised at how different (not necessarily better) then polymer is and how enjoyable it may be to shoot.
I am really hoping the Hudsen H9 is a success for this reason.
