Glock switches now being made by 3D printers locally - no longer a Chinese import problem

[Suck My Glock]

At least in Texas, according to this article, Glock conversion apparatuses are being made domestically via powdered metal additive manufacturing - 3D printing - and intercepting them coming in from China is doing nothing to stop their "proliferation".

3D printers of metal components used to cost 1 million dollars, but have dropped down to the $100,000 mark for similar capabilities. But those are industrial versions. Table-top models meant to just make small bits like watch gears (and Glock switches) are available now for just $8,000 and getting cheaper all the time. Combine that with the autoCAD files available over the internet via Defense Distributed and other 3D printed gun guys,...we are rapidly approaching the day gun control becomes impossible.

I have read that law enforcement in Tennessee, particularly around Memphis has run across many of these in the last few months.

I love when the genie is so out of the bottle, it is damn near impossible to enforce the laws on the books now.
