A couple of those reasons are exactly why I don't own a Glock. I have nothing against a Glock and will eventually have one, but there are just so dang many nice guns out there to buy, I have not had the inclination to go to polymers yet. There really are a lot of guns to try right now and a lot of them are affordable. One day I'll dip a toe into the polymer world and may end up loving Glocks, but right now I really like the feel of steel.
