I have heard of a gun that was considered a nylon pistol. Did remington make such a gun?

  No, but they made several .22 rifles called the Nylon 66 & Nylon 77. These had a stock made of Zytel plastic.

  I don't know if it is a nylon pistol, but there was the XP-100 chamberd in 221 fireball. And it looked like the nylon 66 The last one I saw was in 1973 or 74.

  qd is correct..It is an XP-100 by Remington...It had a "Zytel"..nylon stock made of the same material as the "NYLON" rifles... Same action as the Model600 bolt rifle, but the receiver was marked XP-100 to satisfy the ATF....Basically a short barreled single shot pistol.. Used extensively in Metallic Silhouette competition....

  There was a semiauto 22LR pistol where almost everything on the pistol was synthetic except the barrel. I am looking through my references for the model now. Unfortunately my memory is going. If I am not mistaken, the barrel could also be changed for different lengths.

  There is a Ramline Extractor for sale here:

  If I am not mistaken, the Wolverine was primarily aluminum.

  I agree the pistol rsnyder55 is seeking is probably the Ramline.
  
  I disagree that the Whitney is primarily aluminum, just as the Glock is not primarily plastic.
  
  The Whitney has a one-piece aluminum alloy frame and barrel sleeve, but all the internal parts are steel. When the Whitney came out, I thought it was the neatest looking gun I had ever seen. It looked like a ray gun. (My tastes have changed a bit in the past half century.) The design was very ingenious and the guns were quite accurate.
  
  Olympic (I think it is) has had an original Whitney at the SHOT Show for the last several years, each year saying they will produce the Whitney again, but so far, it has not made it to market. From my conversations with a principal at Olympic, it sounds like they will cut a few corners, rather than make an exact copy. (If they ever do anything.) Why does that always happen? The corners they propose to cut will probably turn off those who always wanted a Whitney, but could not find or afford one now. Will the "new" Whitney appeal to new buyers unfamiliar with the original? Who knows.
