This....heat and light are the enemies of polymer.   Plastics weathering is done in S.Florida and Arizona. Many additives are used to counteract it. The carbon black pigment used in the frame is one of them, but too much of it in itself can cause brittleness and degrade physicals of the polymer. Im very sure Glock has impact and heat aged their formulations. Maybe even weathered them....or used data from weathering done by major resin producers.

Odds are sitting in your safe its gonna last several lifetimes. In your holster....a long fxcking time.

Again...commodity pistol that billions of parts are made for, you can buy parts and reframe easily yourself.

Or like me buy about 4 of them and when the carry one gets old pull a new one out of my safe....or dcmdons freezer.   Hey Hon....my glock is worn out, can you grab me a new one out of the fridge??? What the actual fxck?

Can you save 350-500 dollars in 20 years to fund a new one?   What is that like a penny a day?

This thread is retarded.
