A point about craftsmanship. How much craftsmanship is in a CNC machine milling out a block of steel, or even forging? Is it more than injection molding? I guess so. But let's not pretend it's a choice between some middle aged person in a shop apron laboring for weeks (unless we're talking boutique custom work) on a pistol versus a machine popping out a polymer frame in a few hours. Take the classic P series SIGs. The slides were made from folded and welded steel and the frames we're aluminum. Or an HK MP5 that used as many stampings as possible. This wasn't about craftsmanship. It was about what was the most cost effective for the time. I can "appreciate" metal frames while still using polymer frames.
