This video critically examines the long-term durability and performance of polymer-framed firearms, contrasting them with traditional metal-framed pistols. The speaker, demonstrating high expertise in firearm mechanics and material science, discusses issues like frame flex, polymer wear on internal rails, warping from heat cycles ('Glock pig nose'), and the implications of dissimilar material interactions. While acknowledging the advantages of polymer (lighter weight, lower cost), the preference leans towards metal for generational longevity and a more solid feel.
