A bit of thread drift, but have you tried a Walther P99 AS? Now that is a nice trigger. The paddle mag release is not that hard to get used to either.
My handgun is obsolete? Why is that?

Shorty sells one 3rd Gen, and now he's lobbying for dishwasher-safe pistols. What's this forum (and the world) coming to???

An unhappy end where metal guns are banned as they are seen as guns of the elite and all we can own are plastic guns so that we are all equal comrade.
My love affair with it started before I got to 3rd gens, it was actually the first DA/SA pistol I shot. Plus if it has a nice trigger I'll like it. Yes, I'm just not cut out for being monogamous.

Just because it is obsolete does not mean it is not longer effective.
Or downright purdy!
It's disturbing.
It's impossible to say. And some of you still wonder why I have trouble sleeping at night. 
Let's face it. Things haven't been the same since Shorty dumped his Shorty.

18DAI- the guns themselves are not obsolete.
The intellectual stamina required to train enough to shoot them well very much is obsolete.
Who has time to read the manual, operate a decent trigger, or train around a gun? Learning your gun is soooo 1970s Jeff Cooper.
We do however have time to purchase polymer handguns and load them up with trick trigger connectors, UFO grade sights, big 'ol mags and spray paint them FDE colors from all over the electromagnetic spectrum.
But uggh, gawd, a double action pull is impossible to shoot straight!
How did America ever survive the Cold War before Gaston Glock saved us?
I cant speak to others' needs. Perhaps in other parts of America an ordinary man has to shoot his way out of the garage every day. Perhaps in other areas people need tactical vests and carbines to safely drive to the cable office in order to pay the bill.
"Honey, I need suppressive fire! The credit card wont swipe and im down to my last 33 round mag!
Fortunately I dont live there.So given that I look at my guns FAR more often then I use them against OPFOR I choose exquisitely created metal pistols.
Lest anyone assume polymer frame guns can meet that lofty standard, let us remember that metals do not come from the ground; they come from stars.
That 4506/4566/4006/5906/etc may be machined from metals mined from dirt, but the metals and the dirt came from star material detonated eons before any of us existed. It all coalseced into the Earth, which then became a planet. That is how the metal pistols in your collection and mine really do have a direct link to the greater cosmos as a whole.
Who needs Star Trek when you have a 1911, an aluminum Sig Sauer, or 3rd/2nd/1st Gen Smith?
Plastic -excuse me, fiber reinforced polymer- on the other hand, is a petroleum derived product .Petroleum comes from dead & decayed remnants of forests and animals from prehistoric times. This is why a Glock/M&P/etc is such a lifeless thing to behold.
