Availability of parts doesn't seem to phase them - the comment more often appears to be something a younger less experienced owner would post. That doesn't seem to bother most older gun users, nor does it stop those buying 30 year old cars. The other is how long a pistol may last while no longer being made or having a stream of parts available for it from the factory. Apparently a lightweight wasn't the answer after all. I've read it more than a dozen times from people who wish they were carrying the next bigger bullet.

Being larger and heavier is taken with little comment - it's now desireable, not a disadvantage. If someone does survive a shooting encounter, if they were carrying a smaller caliber light weight gun, it's now seen as inadequate, and they move up to a more powerful round. We already know that a inexperienced carrier suffers from a lack of accuracy, and we have police shootings to reflect on how bad that is even for professionals. However, the one comment I see frequently repeated in testing lightweight polymer pistols is the recoil, which is characterized as harsh, shocking or detrimental to accuracy, much less the cause of creating flinch. Youth and bias in selecting a lighter weight payload had influence. Paratroopers were normally 5'5' and under 150 pounds. The average person 45 years ago was not at hefty or as tall as now, not by a long shot. Same for LEO's, especially in the day of the 6' service revolver, many of which were all steel.

Yet plenty of soldiers carried the 1911 full size with no hassle, and it wasn't the only thing on their belt. One, that a pistol must be polymer because lower carry weight is better. There are two points of discussion these days which some take for granted.
