In today's fast-moving modern age, when a new plastic handgun design has an average lifespan of 5 years or less before it is discontinued and replaced with something newer, a gun designed in the early 70's and first manufactured in 1975 (like the Sig P220) is damn near an antique.

But I like antiques. And the more metal, the better.
