It is a part of the grip. For my taste the thumb guard is a little small. I do love the handle, otherwise. It is very comfortable and easy to hold onto.

It is all nylon and velcro closure. I wore it for many weeks without any problems. My thumb healed nicely.

The grips are plastic. There is probably something internal that is plastic, but all of the "showy parts" are metal. It has a nice feel and heft to it. It really does appear very authentic.Mine fires well, and is reasonably accurate. Note... it is not a "blowback" type air pistol, but otherwise, is a good inexpensive way to practice your skills with a 1911 style pistol.I enjoy shooting mine a lot.

The end of the handle is plastic as is the clamp turner, but the rest is metal. This hasn't been a problem so far.

The thumb actuator looks like it is made out of plastic. When you place a magnet on it, it doesn't respond as if it was metal. The lever on the side is also appears to be made of plastic. The tab on the blade itself is metal and it doesn't really serve much of a purpose unless you want to open the blade manually. I understand someone had dropped their knife and it broke off. The lever on the side is a little stiff to shift up or down. Hope this helps...j

The arm is plastic, that you use to tighten the head on the stand . Everything else on this unit is metal.

It's plastic (polymer) except for a couple of places where the inner rubber layer protrudes as a grip.

It is actually a combination of plastics. The main part of the shell is a hard plastic, with a softer, more gel-like plastic inside for cushioning. The ribs on the outside and the buttons are also a softer gel like plastic (or rubber?) that gives you a good grip. On the turquoise and blue one that I have, the turquoise is the hard shell and the blue is the softer material with a good grip.

No, I think it is some sort of hard plastic. I've been using it for many months without any ill effects.

I can't vouch for the material, but it appears and feels like hard plastic; and the grips are wonderfully molded for secure fit.

It has two parts to it, the outer hard plastic part and the inner rubber part. The hard plastic part is smooth, no grip. However the edges of the rubber part that show have grip.

Yes it is. The grip is nice but it wears out very quickly. Like 1 to 2 months of regular use.

I LOVE mine. I think it is both plastic and the rubber inside area to grip jars. This product is well with the $$ especially for those w/ weak hands.

It keeps the thumb stiff but not well padded. just a velcro strip on outside.

Nope- its some form of plastic- that said, its comfortable, and fairly nice to a grip on.
