I know that the LC9sPro is not a range pistol, but we were talking at the range about the Life expectancy of the LC9sPro. I know that they will last longer than me, but have there be any test of the Glass-Filled Nylon rails, before the wear become an issue?

As far as I know the LC series all use an aluminum receiver insert inside a poly grip. The P95, P97, and P345 had rails integral to the poly frame.

There are NO glass-filled nylon rails on the LC9sPro. The steel slide rides on the aluminum insert. Don't know if that's better, but it's the reality.

Yes, you're referring to part number 1.

This is a much better method than poly rails, proven over and over time and time again.
