  1. My son was showing me his new guns yesterday and we were talking about how the perception of plastic has changed so dramatically in my lifetime. For most of us in GenX+, the basic aesthetics of plastic used to send a strong signal, which was: "This is probably cheap, flimsy, crappy." Advances in material science have forced us to re-assess, re-organize. Carbon fiber helped us olds begin to change our priors not just because it was a truly tough material that shared that basic plastic aesthetic, but because (in the beginning, anyway), it also had a consistent SEPARATE aesthetic, with its texturing and trademark surface qualities. It used to be you'd hear the word "polymer" and just roll your eyes and think, "Yeah, plastic." Not so anymore. *EDIT: [Insert something about Glock] :-)
