Polymer frame vs. Alloy frame
Reliability and all things considered for ccw, which would you prefer and why?

there is no debate here. for ccw, polymer. period. they're plenty reliable and durable. Glock, sig, xd/xdm, etc. And there's not a alloy frame on the planet that can match them for weight.
for anything other than ccw, then you have a debate.

As much as i'm not big on "plastic" gun i pretty much agree for the most part for most folk-
Hell, i have a plastic gun for my "truck" gun-
But personaly when I carry I got steel on my hip (AKA-1911)

For me, I carry polymer. It's all about the weight to me and polymer frames are more than proven.

Alloy 3" 1911. Fit makes weight less important.

Alloy. It may weigh more but it has less recoil in case you want to use it at the range very often, and as stated earlier with a properly fitting holster it shouldn't matter all that much. And holding onto metal just feels better.

I've heard really good thing about the XD-S. It's really thin and you can get it in 45.

the triggers suck even by double action only standards. i strongly suggest handling one in person first. SA does have 7 round mags for em now tho
