So if you want something to pass down, I wouldn't buy polymer. That said, think about how useful a civil war era musket would be to you today. That is probably about how useful a Glock 17 will be to future generations in 150 years. Either technological advancement will make it woefully obsolete, or some disaster will mean people are shooting bows and arrows at each other and don't even know what a gun is, much less how to make reliable ammo for it. Those are the most likely scenarios - so buy what you like and enjoy it while you are here.

Yea but firearms development has slowed down a lot. A Tommy Gun from the 1920s is still a pretty effective weapon today. Who knows.
Once you shoot all the bullets you have to throw them away.
Well plastics take a LONG time to degrade in nature, however I wouldn't bet my life on anything polymer a 100 years from now.
Car seats have a 10-year life span because the plastic can break down enough to not be as sound even though it looks fine. I used to have a construction helmet that had the same 10-year "expiration." At least I think it was 10 years, but it definitely had some end-of-life.
Then they turn into ghost guns.
