Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't most of these large, bulky and made entirely of plastic? The ones I saw test fired where mounted in a bench rest, and the shooter was firing them from a distance using a string around the trigger. I for one will not be firing anything out of a plastic gun. I like my fingers right where they are.
Yes, I know there are now some 3D printers that will print in metal, but they cost in the tens of thousands of dollars. What criminal is going to spend $20,000, $30,000, $40,000 to print their own gun, when they can buy one of the street for a few hundred bucks?
There is one company that is printing an all metal 3D handgun, but they charge $11,000 each, while a traditionally manufactured handgun is +/- $500 and criminals can buy them off the street for far less.
Personally, with current technology, I feel this is a non-issue.
