I've shot several and was even planning on using one in a build myself. There are numerous manufacturers of polymer lowers now so before you buy one do some research on that specific manufacturer. A good polymer lower will last just as long as a aluminum lower but a bad lower and you will never want to buy one again. My only negative is the price. It has gone through the roof over the past year. I use to see them for half the price as a billet aluminum lower and now they are more expansive.

Why the hate? The polymer used by a good manufacturer is a better grade polymer and goes through more rigorous testing then the polymers used by some of the top selling polymer handguns (like Glocks and XDs).
