In the department of putting a lot of ammo down range.
Does a polymer pistol take the abuse (wear and tear)
better than a metal one?

well it's difficult to say.
there are no 100 year old glocks or H&Ks to compare to a 1911 so we'll have to wait till our kids social security checks start coming in the mail before we'll know for certain.
right now. polymers are cheaper to build, cheaper to buy(in most cases), they have greater tolerance to extreme cold/heat, they normally have higher ammo capacity and normally operate better while dirty or without lube.
I prefer polymer just because they require less maintenance and they have a wider range of ergonomic options.
