Need a little help. Whats is the most modern, completely new design pistol that uses steel (not polymer or aluminium) for its frame material? Off the top of my head I can think of CZ75 and P7. Anything newer?
 
Okay lets tackle this one at a time:

4n2t0: Thats a 1911 design.
cr5: Thats a CZ-75 design
P90Puma: The P75 (P220) was designed around an aluminum frame. I meant firearms designed from the beginning to use a steel frame, not modified after the fact like the P22X Sigs and Berettas.

Thanks champ! Did you read the thread? You're making my point. See post 8 if you want to be a prick about it. You ask then tell everyone they're wrong, wow.
 
Not trying to be a prick about anything. I am the original poster with the question and was asking for some help. When I say new designed, I dont mean completely new locking systems. Not all are old designes. HK P7s and P9s, P22Xs (the P220 has nothing to do with the earlier Sig P210/M49 except name), Berettas 92s (yes copied the Walther locking system), S&W Autos, Glocks, Steyr GB's, etc (there are many more) are all new designed made in the 70's and 80's. It just seems after the 80's the perfered material for the frame switched to polymer (thanks to glock surely) and aluminium. Also it seems like USA manufacturers (save for a few companies) dont want to spend the money to develop any new designs and are content to sell 1911's, revolvers and (loose) Glock copies.

They're all semi-automatic right? See, all of them "old" designs.

I can be a prick too :D
 
can you show me a 'completely modern' steam engine? Let's face it - steel frames are obsolete; technology marches on, and despite what some people may think, polymers and alloys are the future. Sorry.
 
While the majority of it is on the traditional 1911 design, one could argue the Para Ordinance double stack is a new(er) design dating from the mid 80s.

Not sure why the OP is getting so much flak for starting a thought provoking thread (as opposed to the standard 'Glock v. ###' crap that permeates through this forum), but for the clowns who want to dump all over it, stfu and post somewhere else. :kickInTheNuts:
...and I believe with a bit of digging, you will find they produce modern steam driven turbines for differing applications....
 
"New gun design" is an oxymoron like "jumbo shrimp". The point of gun design is reliability. Reliability takes years to prove out. Years, in turn, negate "new". I'm thrilled with my new 1911 (Colt) and those other relics from the last century. They work, every time, and they're new ... to me.
