Can't find a thing to disagree with in your post Lou, either about plastic or this mind numbing winter. Composites have their place I think. On certain guns, say the AR's or even on some economy grade platforms. But for day in and out use, I prefer wood. I admit a few of my handguns wear Pachmayer types. That's more a function of price and availability than preference. I have relatively big hands, but short fingers. The Magna type Smith grips just don't do it for me, while the open backed "Grippers" work fine.
As far as rifles, wood is where it's at! Composite always looks and feels cheap no matter what it is. The best of the lot was the older style Bell and Carson IIRC. A very solid polymer. Have one on a custom built Ruger Ultra Lite 250-3000. Still ugly. So is stainless IMO!
Cost, that's why the manufacturers like the composites.
As far as the weather, we're looking at at least another week with average highs in between 0 and 10F. Daughters water froze when the pressure switch lost a spring. Frost is at least 3 feet in the ground. Not fun, not at all.
