A 3D printed non-polymer 1911

Look what I built, Ma! Texas firm makes world’s first 3D-printed metal gun.
:clap:

The article is here http://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/worlds-first-3-d-printed-metal-gun/.

I guess 3D printers will be outlawed next.
I just love American ingenuity to applying ideas to solve problems and meet challenges imposed upon us by "The Rulers".

Mad it to FOX News also, http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2013/11/08/texas-firm-makes-worlds-first-3d-printed-metal-gun/

I'm not sure I'd want to shoot a 1911 with a sintered metal frame.

Why not? All the stress on the barrel and receiver specifically, at the lock up area and chamber.

They make aluminum and polymer frames and people used to be concerned about those also. They seem to be holding up. :rolleyes:

They claim its strong enough. As an engineer and tool and die maker, I say no way.
In god we trust, all others bring data!
