Polymer gun fanatic?

Years ago, I always preferred steel guns to polymer. Now, everygun I own has a polymer frame. Seems that I am a polymer fanatic

I like XDs, but love my 1911s.

I like my Glocks, XD's were OK too. But I have more all steel handguns than I do Polymer if you count revolvers.

Love my polys (XD, Glock, H&K,) but I gotta admit that there are times when I strap on my Les Baer, or Colt 1911's and the feel of that chunk-o-steel on my hip is very reassuring. I will even carry my S&W .357 once in a while.

I have a slight preference for Polymer. But I will eventually have a revolver, 1911 and desert eagle in my collection.

Contrary to my screen name, I like them all. I own some Poly-furniture guns. I have a a Rem Nylon 66, which was basically the first widely-available plastic-stocked gun. I have the AR and AK as well, along with the XD.

There's something very comforting about the warmth of a 1911 after you've carried it all day though.

Come to think of it, I've never heard of a polymer-framed revolver...has anyone else? Has there ever been a revolver that was partially build from polymer, excluding the grips???
