What is the handgun equivalent of F-150

Good point! Never quite thought of it this way.

Ruling out plastic in a carry gun is like ruling out carbon fiber in a sports car. Makes no sense at all.

If you've got something against Glock, no problem. There are plenty of competent imitators.

LOL, I happen to have an 84 K10. I don't consider that to be a "classic." Maybe the pre 81 trucks. The 88 and up stuff is brand new.

The 99s that were a 98 body style was called a Sierra classic. That is gm's name not mine. To me a classic is the 67-72 c10's always loved that bodystyle. Anyway back to my point they did the same "classic" model when they switched designs again in 2007. The parts system may have been much better by then though. I wouldn't know. I am back in a ford where I belong.

A lot of Chevy drag racers use the Ford 9 inch.

If you don't want plastic then you need a Beretta 92fs..

If you really want the F150 of carry guns, there's one gun that will thrive on neglect, eat coffee, rainwater, dog hair and mud and still go "bang" every time. The Glock. It's plastic. Did you want a gun for its scrap metal value or one that works?

Don't get me wrong - I own Walthers, Sigs, CZs, and Smith and Wessons. But the gun I grab on my way out the door is an ugly plastic Glock 26.

It would have to be the Glock 23. Tough, dependable, plenty of power, and occasionally blow important parts out.

I'm looking to get a Glock myself. A Glock 17. It seemed that all the comparable/price ranged guns didn't feel as nice. More...clunky...oversized. Just my opinion.
I was talking with one of the sales people at the gun store and asked about his preference. He said all the other workers there that day carried Glocks except one...only because it wasn't Glock day for him. The next day was, though.
