Steel or Polymer wonder

[Tex1961]

Over the past 40 years I own or have owned and or shot probably every caliber, action and frame there is is pistol calibers... as I look in my safe, I see that I am down to only 12 pistols.... Out of those 12 I count 4 that are polymer. And 5 that are striker fired... (Not the same guns).

That leaves me with 8 all metal frame, and 7 hammer fired (only 1 is a revolver).

I'm always on the lookout for the "Next" favorite pistol and I realize that I pretty much pass over almost anything that is either striker fired or polymer... I just seem to connect with all steel hammer fired pistols..... Beretta's and CZ's seem to be my absolute favorites right now...

Sights.... And let me also say I have NO USE for fiber optic sights.... The majority of my shooting unfortunately is indoors and because of that I just cannot see a front fiber optic sight... They just disappear on me. Give me a nice white front dot and I'm a happy camper....

I really don't have any agenda with this post, just sharing my thoughts and wondered how others feel....

What? Only one revolver!!!!

I’ve gotten more and more into wheel guns but I do like my polymer wonders. G19 is my favorite but if you have not looked at Canik TP9SF (or TP9SFX), I would check it out. Great price, outstanding reliability, feels great in hand. Also, CZ Phantom SP01 is great, if you can find it...

Funny enough... I had 3 Canik's.... SF, Elite and SFX... I sold the SF and Elite and still have the SFX... Took it to the range yesterday with my Beretta. Of any poly gun I've owned, the Canik's win every time... You just can't beat the out of box trigger and performance both within and out of their price range.

But that being said, being at the range yesterday with the Canik SFX and my Beretta, there is just such a HUGE difference in feel, recoil and overall satisfaction using my Beretta....

I own 2 CZ's. The CZ 75 SP-01 compact (all metal) and the CZ 75 SP-01 Phantom (Poly frame). Out of the 2, I would take the compact anytime.. While the Phantom is a good overall hammer fired gun, I would just as soon sell it and use that money towards a Shadow 2.

Of the four hand guns i have i like the S&W 686 357 revolver and the Sig Sauer p320 9mm compact semi auto best.

Both my Para's have fiber optic sights with tritium inserts, no matter what the light conditions are I can see my sights!
