Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.

Got the lever action 94, double barrel exposed hammers, and SS 1911. No plastic, Sounds traditional.

I suppose I fall in line like a lot of you. I love my XD but also enjoy shooting a .44 Ruger Super Blackhawk as well. I have a .38 revolver thats a fun one too. I suppose there's form and function to love about both.

I guess I'm a traditionalist, for a different reason. When I look at a gun I ask myself, what will this be worth 10, 20, 50 years down the road. Glocks and XD's may be good shooters, but all the plastic in them has, in my mind, no investment potential, as well as a cold robotic personality. I prefer steel and wood, something that my grandchildren could hold and see the value in.

I'm Ok with older designs, but I want blued if it's older. I just don't like how stainless looks and only have two guns that have naked stainless any more. I've sold all the rest.
Rifles my only interest is military style stuff, and shotguns, well, I just don't care - but I own three or is it four anyway?

Like most, I appreciate what both styles have to offer. I agree with Captain Crunch on the kydex holsters - my guns don't belong in them.
I really like the old school blued finishes but it's pretty hard to find a blued gun in this town's gunshops anymore. Just bought my 5th 1911, a parkerized SA Mil-Spec (never had more than one at a time though) so I lean to traditional there. My primary carry is the S&W airweight 642 - umm, traditional DAO action in modern alloys?
The Glocks and even moreso the XD line of pistols are starting to grow on me. I don't much care for some of the particulars of the Glocks and have yet to find one that feels as natural in my grip as my 1911s but I respect them as a capable defensive weapon and can see why so many folks own them. I need to spend more time with the XDs as I think they're closer to what I'd want in a polymer sidearm.
All my long guns are blued steel with wood stocks so that's traditional all the way. I do prefer wood grips on my handguns but have my share of rubber/composite grips as well.
Overall, I've grown to prefer consistent trigger pulls on my handguns (first shot to last) and doubt I'll be buying anything other than SA or DAO revolvers or autos any time in the near future. Hence my appreciation for JMB's designs as well as the Glock/XD configuration.
... and I'm a strict flyfisherman, don't even OWN spinning reel anymore. Guess I'm traditional at the core.
