You are assuming the inherited fire arm was shot a lot. Sooooo many will be shot less then a 1000 times.

Polymer doesn't rust tho
And look at how long it takes plastic to degrade, from a recycling standpoint. Not the same thing, of course, but I can't imagine a 1911 would do better after a century of sweaty palms than a Glock :P

100 years from now on the Glock will still work just as well as it did when it was new.

I thought this was a Remington Nylon Rifle Thread!

I will leave no polymers for my grandkids. I will sell them all to those who believe they are superior.

Just like a 1911...

No, I'm thinking even a brand new never fired polymer will have become brittle and dried out to the point of being unsafe in 100 years...all plastics become less resilient with age right?

I think my grandkids let alone great grandkids are going to have a lot more to worry about than inherited guns.

Some plastics are designed to degrade while others can withstand strong acids better than steel.

What you got?

Do people still think polymer framed handguns are dangerous or unreliable ? What is this, 1973?

No polymer gun has reached 100 years or older yet so we wont know for quite some time still

disclosure: I own 4 polymers

No they just have no class.
