Abs even though I own a metal slided pistol h34r:

I own both. Each has their advantages and disadvantages.

My M92 has a metal slide. It have a really great sound when you rack the slide. It shoots well with a decent kick (not very accurate though.) It's a heavy gun with a realistic weight(about 1kg.) It's not as gas efficient compared to a plastic slide. The metal isn't that great. WE tend to have crap paint jobs so it wears exposing cast metal.

My TM M&P 9 has a plastic slide. It actually looks more realistic but the lack of weight gives it away as being plastic. It still has a an ok kick. The slide racking sound isn't that good compared to metal.

For me metal slides are only really viable on co2 pistols.

Very high quality CNC'ed aircraft aluminium slides. they are light, look, feel and sound realistic and are tough, but they do come at a hefty price.

ABS for a pistol to play with since it won't let you down in the cold and will perform really well. Metal slide for a holster filler, the noise of racking a nice metal slide on a well put together pistol is sublime.
