New type of gun found among criminals
A new type of handgun is being found among our criminal classes – a thing called a Polymer80. At least this weapon isn’t being made with 3D printing, which I was half expecting to read.

80% lower receiver market is quite an active (and legal) one in the US. Donnu about canadian laws…

I 3d print a lot, and I know quite a bit about the handgun thing.
Despite the hype, its never really going to be a thing. Printing a 3d printed gun is actually quite easy, but the problem is that its just not that durable. You might get a few shots up but it’ll eventually fail. There’s just too much explosive power to contain.
As long as actual guns are reasonably easy to procure, it doesn’t make sense to walk around with a gun that’ll jam or explode after a few shots, when (presumably) you’d most want it to work.

Faiz Imam, is it not unthinkable that more durable materials will come along for 3D printing?
