I read a lot of these posts and read posters talk a lot about it being critical for lifetime of use to have all metal frame semi-auto pistols. Some say must be stainless, not aluminum. Some say polymer is junk and steel or stainless is only life time gun to buy. I have never heard of any shooter wearing out a polymer framed gun. Does this actually happen? If so with what frequency? I wouldn't think that a person shooting 100 rounds a month could ever wear out a polymer framed gun. Your experiences please. I doubt the average cc owner shoots 100 rounds a month.
