I hear ya'. I'm a bit of a Luddite in that I just can't get on the poly/striker bandwagon. If it ain't got a hammer, it ain't a gun.

I love the old Smith and Colt wheelguns, but I will happily park those in the safe and carry a '98 era P226 in .357 Sig. Is it bright blue with Goncalo Alves grips? No, but it does have a deadly serious, no-nonsense aura and throws 200% more rounds downfield that are the near mirror image of the 125 gr. SJHP's that reside in my retired Texas Highway Patrol m28.

Sadly, I've gotten old enough that a 1998 P226 *is* now 'Old School'. That's fine, old school is the best school...
