    Don’t those 3d printed guns usually start malfunctioning as a result of moderate use, as in the process of testing then?

      Absolutely, any home made pistol would have some teething issues. I have an 80% “glock” that took a while to make reliable. I think I had to put about 800rds through it as well as replacing the extractor with an aftermarket machined one instead of the shitty imperfect OEM one and doing a little bit of polishing on the internal hardware before it could get through a whole magazine without a failure. I would have been dumb as a rock to carry that for protection before I had another 500-1000rds down the pipe without a single malfunction.
