Yeah chiming in here to agree, 3D printed guns are now nearly identical in performance to other polymer based guns (like Glocks for instance).
they don't degrade after being fired?
Not if they're made correctly, with good materials like nylon-cf, correct print settings, and good post processing. It's a process that takes a day or two and requires a small amount knowledge and skill.
A handgun made like that will function for thousands of rounds.
thanks, I had no idea.
