Well, with all due respect, I am a member of Glocktalk & other forums that tend to deal with Glocks & polymer guns. I do not see the bias that you say you encounter on a regular basis. In fact, I see far more bias in your statements than I see in most Glock owners statements towards S&W metal framed guns & the traditional 1911 guns. I own several Glocks & carry one daily. I also own several S&W handguns and love them as well. I am currently looking at a S&W 1911 as my next purchase. You on the other hand seem to abhor Glocks & other polymer guns & my guess is you would never own one. That would make whom biased towards a certain type of gun? Biased is as biased does my grandmother used to say. (OK, she never said that, but I saw Forrest Gump the other night & I can't get the "stupid is as stupid does" thing out of my mind.)

As to the other posters who are calling polymer gun owners "posers" & "tacticool" simply because they choose to carry a polymer gun such as a Glock or an M&P, I don't get it. I carry a Glock 27 because it is the most fire power I can find in a gun that I can totally conceal with summer wear, it's light enough that it won't pull my pants down to my knees & was offered at a price that I could live with. Oh, & it is one of the most reliable guns on the market. That is my choice for those reasons. How does that make me a poser or tacticool? I've carried for years and for the most part, the gunowners I encounter are not trying to be cool or pretend to be officers. They are concerned with the safety of themselves & their families. There seems to be a pervasive attitude by some, who look down on gun owners who own the guns they deem to be inferior & that says volumes to me.
