Too much compromise plastic and they all look generic anymore.

We're at the point video game graphics were at 20 years ago, were everything is "more advanced" but still looks like shit and no longer has any charm, and we're not yet at the point were everything is AESTHETIC.

CNC machining isn't "craftsmanship" and the world is better for it, but you can incorporate complex shapes into polymer molding to reduce manufacturing time.

>>32458231
>polymer molding
there in lies the problem. If you want polymer youre basically looking at a glock or glock clone which means you want a utilitarian look and design
personally, Id love a DA/SA polymer pistol. Something like the look of a smith and wesson 5904, but I know its not going to happen so I dont dream

because mall ninjas and tacticool faggot wanna be operatuhs took over at least half of the market, so anything made with wood or steel is considered "fudd" and the real fudds are too scared of anything new to fight back with equal opposition
Now the fudds are dying and taking the generation of wood, steel and hell id wager even aluminum with them. I doubt they'd ever stop being made all together (for christs sake some people still make SAA revolvers) but in much smaller numbers by a slect few, and it will be more novelty items every few years with a handful of duty pistol lines nobody buys so they'll jack up the prices because theyre "vintage" and you know sure as shit people will buy them for it
meanwhile the mainstream market will be flooded with mall ninja tacticool plastic crap with rails, lights, red dot sights and a big warning label that reads "DO NOT POINT AT FACE AND PULL TRIGGER" stamped on the side

Because youre a dumb fudd who cant appreciate practical weapoms. If you give new looks a chance youll find something you like. Handguns like the p99 and sphinx sdp are pretty attractive but theres others if youre willing to try and arent afraid of a larger than 400$ price tag

this is the kind of shit I hate most about these new polymer pistols. Want an FNX or 1911 just because they don't have idiot warnings permanently etched into the frame.

However, mall ninjas suffer from extreme autism so I can understand why they have them to cover their butts just in case because that'd be the only purpose they'd serve. It's not like billybob is going to see READ THE COCKSUCKING MANUAL on the slide and go "hmm I guess I better go read the stupid fucking manual"

There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them.

I'm a gun enthusiast,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about gun nuts is:
They'll take you shooting as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to be a manlet.
You don't have to be anything you're not.
You don't have to have any clothes on. You're
a gun guy the moment you've shot,

Because,
