[QUOTE="cernstus, post: 918242, member: 5799"] It really just depends, in my humble opinion, on which camp you fall into. In camp one you have the folks who like technology and hi-tech things. The latest and greatest and like light weight space age stuff. In camp two you have the folks who like things timeless and classic. The feel of weight and steel. there are plenty of people who fall into the second camp but settle for camp one out of practicality. The 1911 is a timeless design that hasn't really changed a whole lot in the last 100 years. I will be curious to see where the polymer guns are in 100 years. I have owned an m&p, a springfield XD, and a multitude of 1911s. It really boils down to whether you get attached to your guns or they are just guns to you. Most of the people I have met who shoot polymer see their guns as just guns. Most of the folks with 1911s see them as entities of their own. Probably a little romantic but their is a reason the 1911 has graced more magazine covers and been written about more than any other handgun ever created! [/QUOTE]
