Nice article. 1911 and most CZ’s give me steel. RIA I think made a polymer 1911?? No thank you. AR mags. Magpul has got it going on compared to the metal mags. They have more resistance under certain conditions. You get a dent in a metal mag, it’s more than likely decommissioned. SA, Glock, Sig ect. The polymer is really tough and forgiving.
RIA didn’t—Rock River made a polymer 1911 (among a few others).
And given some of the surface treatments available (Melonite/Nitride, NP3, Black-T, etc)...steel has a very, very long life expectancy.
