Plastic is lighter and stronger.Just sayin. I was amazed at how light the Pulse was. I have dropped it a dozen times and not a scratch. I took the Minikin out one time and droppex it getting out of the car and messed the bottom up. It stays safe at home now.Doubt it, chatted with Jay a bit about it. Will wait for someone to release a regulated metal one. Jay might have mentioned I was hard to please.![]()
