The basic nozzle, trigger, frame and handle are all aluminum. There is a soft plastic cover surrounding the digital meter and a hard plastic cover over the handle.

I think this is just a bad picture, and the bottom frame is in the shadow. The entire thing is cast aluminum, including the frame around the trigger. The grip has a black plastic wrap on it, and the main body has a black rubber cover.

The simple answer is Yes. This is a very tight fitting part that usually requires a mallet to tap it into place. As others have said the set screw is buffered by plastic. So your trigger guard is protected but everything else is metal on metal contact. If you only take it off once yearly and very carefully then you might be ok. However if its a regular ordeal then eventually the coating on the rail wears off and it will minorly scratch your frame up. Still a wonderful rail, but metal on metal will always blemish your finish no matter what anyone says to the contrary.

Trigger is metal on mine. Balance is great as it's a bit smaller than most nailers.

It is metal. Honestly I would get another gun though. I bought this gun and for about a month it worked, then in the first battle, it broke. I would suggest going on Airrattle.com instead. Great guns! Hope you find this helpful.

I unscrewed the nozzle and it seems like there is a plastic piece that fits within the opening. You can see a dark center through the plastic (it's almost clear) as if there is metal in there. I didn't pull it apart in case it would be difficult to insert back in. The trigger has a metal spring for sure.

The whole outside and trigger are metal but the barrel and the grip. The grip is plastic and junky, but you can easily replace them with better ones

It looks very much like aluminum, and is light weight like aluminum. I strongly believe it's aluminum, or some aluminum alloy. The manufacturer may be able to identify the metallurgical consistency of the box/frame and straps. It's a solid unit, and I give it five stars for all aspects of product and delivery.

The frame is black plastic and the hinges that attach the back to the bottom seat is aluminum. Haven't had a chance to try them out yet but they feel sturdy.

My first order was consistent of a plastic material on the external shell. I recently ordered a replacement and it is aluminum with black paint. So I am seriously beginning to wonder myself as well.

Hi Nitro, There isn't a trigger like a gun, the firing pin is a plunger at the bottom of the handle that runs through the handle to where the charge is put just below the dummy. And yes, it is aluminum. You can view videos of the dummy launcher being used on YouTube. EZDogFences

If you're talking about the black part, no it's not aluminum. This was a good buy. I used to buy Farberware all the time until I had to return it 3x and was told they are now compromising their parts. I love electric perc coffee so for 40 some odd dollars and the size I feel I got a really good deal.

It's definitely not plastic. It's some kind of metal; probably steel but I'm not certain. It's a very solid, well built pistol at the price.

Unit is aluminum. There is a rubber strip inside for shot shell retention. I find it very difficult to remove a shell from the unit. I no longer have this mounted. I ordered 3 velcro backed shot cards and am a lot happier!

Best I can tell aluminum. At least the shaft that goes into the rivet gun is aluminum. Don't know about the expanding part.

No it's black I also thought it was stainless for my stainless 10/22. It looks nice with it on so I kept it. I'm Very Happy with it

It looks like heavy duty aluminum to me. I have no idea why some people received a black one. Mine was silver in color as shown.
