Same here. I like both types of 3rd gens (a lot), and prefer either alloy or steel over polymer any day.
My current two go-to 3rd gens are a mint 5906 that I mainly use for range work, and if needed, for home defense. My daily CCW carry is a 4014 with alloy frame.
Next I want a 3913 or 4513 for sure, and then I want an even better choice for all metal lightweight carry - a scandium framed 3rd gen 4040 PD. If I can't find one of those LNIB/NIB I'll probably bu the 1911 e series scandium bobtail.
The all steel guns aren't too bad for OWB carry. I definitely prefer the alloy framed guns for IWB.
