Hi, all. I'm still pretty new to the forum, but I've been around guns most of my life. Dad was NRA Lifetime member, and had quite a collection when he passed.
I've fired a few Glocks but never really "got" them. I didn't like the way they felt in my hand, didn't like the trigger -- but I was likely spoiled by having fired some of dad's nice stuff.
So fast forward, and I'm at the 1500. Every manufacturer seems to have a plastic gun now. I can see the fabrication being cheaper perhaps, which might benefit the manufacturers. But lots of people are buying them. And my question is, why do you pick a glock or similar polymer-frame pistol over an equivalent steel version?
Ergonomics? Weight? Accuracy?
Just curious to know from those of you that DID get it.
