Does lightweight alloy mean polymer? This is off the Bander Mountain site:


No, John, a lightweight or even a heavyweight alloy does *not* mean
polymer.

Wasn't chemistry part of your liberal arts education?

Good grief.


I didn't think so. Therefore the frame isn't polymer.



I never field stripped the gun model you bought, so I don't know in your
case, but it is possible for the frame to be polymer, with metal
inserts. Glocks have a polymer frame with metal inserts.

For a guy who spent so much time in the army, and, as an officer, you
sure don't know much about firearms.


I don't know a lot about firearms, but I sure know the difference
between a polymer and an alloy!!
