Bored with 1911's and Plastic Guns...
PLEASE someone come up with a new metal-frame 9mm or 10mm design!

What are you wanting? I think the problem is there isn’t major ground left to cover in mechanical fire based projectile launchers.

How about a SIG P220 in 10mm?
A Luger or SIG P210 wouldn't be new designs, but a new shooting experience for most people.

Laugo Alien is a fairly "new" 9mm design.

I don't know how new a mechanical design it will take to thrill you but I see where Smith, Canik, and Walther have backed up and converted some of their plastic pistols to metal.
The RIA 5.0E is the newest action design I know of. The Smith 5.7 has a novel operating system but darn, the butt is plastic. BAC has a lot of uncommon metal pistols. I forget the EU brand but while it looks a lot like the legion of CZ75 derivatives, it is a good bit mutated. |

There's a good reason they call it "Glock Perfection."
Where can you go from Perfect? |

Go vintage. Plenty of great old all-metal designs that are just as capable as any modern-day plastic toy. Beretta, Star, Astra, Walther....

Go further. Airgun. .25 cal PCP is pretty cool. You can even going full auto. No paper work needed. It is not a firearm. Huben is a pistol that is wicked powerful. But it has extra high-pressure tank. Ain't going to touch that one myself.
Go even further. Slingshot. It was my form of physical work out during pandemic. I think I fired over 20k clay balls in 3 years, teaching myself to be a decent shot. Still bored. Go pick a fight with an inclusive liberal.  . Tell it (a safe pronoun) that you plan to include airgun and slingshot in your arsenal.-TL Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk |

CZ75B is a favorite of mine. I like my PX4s, but I agree that plastic guns just aren't what a gun should be (in my mind).

Swiss Pheonix, P210, x-five, tanfoglio stock 3 extreme or Limited Masters or new Gold 6", Archon Type B gen2, cz ts2/s2, s&w target champion, walther p88 champion. New Xi or defense 92.
Q5sf is fun. Tanfoglio has all race 10mm options. More than any. All their guns. I want walther to make a hammer fired steel target gun again.

Go backwards.
For example: Beretta 1951. And then grab the predecessors and variants.

Why does it need to be a “new” design?
There are many great (and proven) designs…CZ, Sig, Beretta, etc. |

I picked up Daniel Defense’s remake of the Hudson H9. Sadly mine keyholes and has been back with Daniel Defense for over a month.

Where can you go from perfect? Ask Glock. They keep changing their 'perfect' guns, indicating that maybe they weren't perfect after all.
