I lot of stuff done here, and even commercial aftermarket parts, are just tacticool. There are advantages to being able to shoulder a handgun and different advantages to a dedicated pcc. Handgun parts kits can also be much cheaper so price plays a role. You don’t see many people printing parts to put on a $2k+ gun. A lot of handgun builds can be done for <$200 and you’ll see people doing anything and everything they can for it. Most cheap pcc are also blowback while most handguns are recoil operated so have less felt recoil and feel less clunky with less reciprocating mass.
The same laws that apply to commercial guns apply to homemade guns with some people having more legal limitations depending on location.
Everything we do here is for fun usually. Most agree that a 3d printed gun isn’t ideal for uses where your life depended on it vs a factory gun (plus jury implications) unless you are in a restricted area. So for most these are just range toys.
