People looking for serious target pistols want steel construction. I know Hammerli tried plastic frames with the 280 and SP-20 but all of the shooters I know, including myself, kept the all steel 208. The 208 is older but it is still seen more on the line than the plastics and it brings more money when resold. I don't recall any other plastic serious target pistols. If there ever was a plastic Free Pistol I never seen one. The plastic guns are inexpensive, functional, and accurate enough for general use. I think they are here to stay but there is always a market for quality steel pistols for serious target use.
