Pistols with non-metal rails

Recommended Posts

Are there any other guns out there with non-metal rails  like the Ruger P95 and P97 have ? They both have fiberglass reinforced rails that are just extentions of the fiberglass/polymer frame . Mine have held up great and show no wear even after several years .

 I was just wondering what other guns are out there that have polymer slide rails ?

Glock. I've taken a light on and off a few hundred times. Can't tell.

I believe he's referring to slide rails.

The little Kahr Cm9 I owned had a set of poly rails above the trigger group and a set of steel rails at rear of reciever, they wore a little during break in and then stopped after a couple hundred rounds. Edited by Jct1911

Misconception there. The poly rails are guides for reassembly only. The Kahr slide depends on the long thin metal rails in front of frame and the two small inserts in the rear.

 

Here's a pretty good explanation;

The Ruger P95 and P97 are the only ones I can think of . The HS2000/XD series have a metal rail up front and then a polymer rail in the rear .

I was messing with my P95 and this got me to thinking of it. I know these P-series polymer guns are on the blocky/fat side but they sure are fun to mess with . My P95 has eaten all of my 9mm reloads without a hicup. It has even eaten some that my M&P Shield wouldn't cycle nor feed.
