Shottyshane, I read your post and agree with alot of your points. The original post was why are they so prized, I didnt say others wont work. Your point about Ruger 10-22 plastic triggerguards being superior to their metal is a point I was trying to make. Ruger 10-22's are an investment casting from some mystery metal, I call potmetal. So to compare plasic against a potmetal casting isnt what I would say is a fair comparison. Try comparing it against a triggerguard machined from steel. Another point I wish would be addressed is hard impact and cold weather impact. Plastic gets very brittle in cold and steel becomes weaker. Since the days of hand machined guns are mostly gone it would be interesting to test modern guns in severe conditions.
