"You can all rave about your plastic based GLOCKS and other plastic handguns, they are remarkable in some respects, but in reality aren't they just the result of doing it the cheapest way? Otherwise why didn't they make it totally out of metal? "
John, Because of weight. If you heft a Luger and a Glock side by side it becomes immediately apparent. Now I detest the new plastic pistols from an esthetic point of view but they are a marvel of technology. If one wants to conceal carry there is now a lighter choice. Police agencies are the drivers of this and the DAO concept. To answere GT's question, the FEG PA-63 is an example of a pinned barrel as is the Makarov.These have been found to be very accurate and reliable. While not the same caliber it seems to work. These are from the German PP and PPK design, aren't these Pinned as well? Jerry Burney
