This generation cannot be blamed for the poly guns.In fact it was our generation that dropped a lot of revolvers for the wonder nines in the mid 1980's. The reason current shooter are not fans of craftsmanship is because there is none that is at least affordable to many younger shooters. Myself.. I'm tired of searching gun shops for decent used revolvers.I don't have enough patients to do gun auctions.I have more 1911's then I need.Plastic very well could be my next purchase since Rossi handguns are no longer sold in the US.
