Someone else pointed out to me that these aren't polymer (sales speak for plastic) frames but have metal frames. Only the grips are plastic.
I know, they looked like a moulded frame to me too.

I learned a long time ago not to hold for a new model that's in the "in talks" stage.
YMMV

You say nobody needs an AR15? Well nobody needs a whiny little b*tch either yet here you are!
They're polymer. I looked at 1 since I was unsure then went yep one is coming home.
I dunno. All my other handguns are made of steel or aluminum, and replacing the grips does not mean disassembling the majority of the firearm. I'd call that a polymer, even if the frame insert is steel. To me that's a good thing, and is my 1st.
yes and no. GP is polymer, but not like Glock at all. Glock has steel inserts only. GP has a steel billet which houses most of parts and rails. If you remove this billet all you have left a trigger and an empty plastic grip. This design is more durable (at least in theory) than aluminum frame pistols (SigSauer and some 1911 and these are very durable pistols) these days and definitly more durable than steel inserts of most of polymer pistols.
It worries me that not enough people worry!

The only disassembly would be driving out two pins, and removing the safety. With the grip removed, you can still fire the gun. (Granted, holding on would be a challenge and you'd be directly pressing the sear, but)
Just received my first K100 - X-Trim, like it a lot! Finish is awesome!
Thanks Dlask!
Must be nice to have a CFO who doesn't S the D.
Still waiting patiently...
God damn I'm so jelly can't wait for mine
I told myself I'd never buy polymer or a barrel that short but... GP got me I guess.
Oh ok, so will hogue be offering replacement grips for the K100? Maybe I could get some made up in rosewood or G10.
I'm not really sure what the big deal with calling it a polymer, in today's day and age it's not a negative connotation, some of the most popular handguns in the world are polymer for a reason. This model even features vast improvement on the others having the frame insert made entirely of machined steel. Guess I'm just a little confused about the issue.
