Metal over Polymer
Okay, the recent S&W 4006 is the first all metal gun I've bought in a while, other than my grandfathers High Standard HD-Military the only one I own.
I'm finding I like shooting the metal gun vs my polymer guns more and am thinking of trading my poly's in for metal guns. But I really hate the thought of trading my XD's, the other two I don't really care. But I like my XD's.
Are metal guns that much easier to shoot than the polymer guns because of the extra weight?Honesta Mors Turpi Vita Potior ~ 3%

Re: Metal over Polymer
Possibly. I was raised on metal guns, so I don't much care for the polymer Glocks, XD's and such. The closest thing I've got is a HK USPC in .357 sig, which is my ccw gun and I love it, but that's only a polymer frame. If you like the metal guns better, sell or trade for some. Haven't you heard? It's cool to be old school.

Re: Metal over Polymer
It's not really metal versus poylmer...it's weight distribution. This gun with a bull barrel and full dustcover still weighs less than a standard Government 1911.

Re: Metal over Polymer
I think a big part of it might be that all the plastic guns I've fired have been some variant of a striker fired gun, and they all seem to have crap for triggers. The polymer flexes, also, which may contribute to slightly less accuracy, I suppose. Makes for pleasant shooting guns, though, which may actually make for better practical accuracy.

Re: Metal over Polymer
The only plastic that can go near the gun is a credit card to purchase a new metal one
