Poor tolerances.

They are crappy components.

0/10 for durability.

If people were serious then they'd use the 3d printers to create component molds.
Then mold components from epoxy, with fiberglass as reinforcement (if needed).

Just saying....

They are disposable guns, for 1 or 2 uses max. Then just print another. Six shooters are for cowboys.

Disposable handles and components. They aren't critical to function.

The critical components (barrel, receiver, firing pin, etc.) still need to be purchased (possibly fabricated).

The disposable components may also damage the purchased components when they fail.

Six shooters are for cowboys.

Six shooters are for concealed carry individuals who do not want to leave any shell casings.

Good to know.

Is it safe to assume that you're messaging this from your truck, and in you way to pick up one of these?

Were they ever off?

It's a shame things like this have become necessary.

Whatever happened to the 2nd? Now with Virginia banning militias I guess 3d and homemade guns will be the future.
