Very interested in purchasing a DR920P Compensated Pistol. Curious about the frame material. I know it's polymer, but can you tell me which polymer? Reason I'm asking, I had a G17 failure where the cartridge blew out the bottom and shattered the frame. Very, very rare event I know, but would feel better with polycarbonate or similar material

Hi Bob and welcome. This frame is made with a glass-reinforced polypropylene. Similar in strength to polycarbonate. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!
