i saw a handgun made out of something called Zytel. Have you hear of a gun made out of this and how tough is it over metal?

i do know about  scandium and  titanium guns. there more carry then shoot guns. there so light that firring they is very painful(i asked someone who sell them). still i don't know anything about zytel. you say it's a polymer like the glock handguns and S&W M&P and ruger MKIII4 handguns i think( i know the M&P 9mm  and i think the ruger mkII is one to.)
