The gun control laws in Australia are sad and the resultant spike in crime is well noted. Thank God for Polymer 80, am I right? Where there’s a will, there’s a way. This pistol was seized by police in Queensland and is a pretty close copy of a Glock 19. From the Queensland Police News:
Yesterday, officers from the Gold Coast Major and Organised Crime Squad executed a search warrant at a Hope Island address, locating and seizing a handgun, knuckledusters and a small quantity of a restricted drug namely Melanotan.
Police arrested a 29-year-old male for unlawfully possessing weapons, possessing a restricted drug and contravening an order about information necessary to access information stored electronically.
The offender will appear in Southport Magistrate Court today.
“This seizure highlights the ongoing investigations our officers continually undertake to make the local community a safer place,” Detective Inspector Craig McGrath said.
Criminals are going to get their guns regardless of laws. Never give up yours, and better yet, have the means to produce your own.

NC,more like a few hours(stipling) with a small soldering iron.I had a friend who got a poly 80 and he had it blank,wanted a aggressive grip and knew was the kind of project I actually enjoy on a otherwise boring night.I did a great job(his words) and a few folks he shoots with want me to do their stock glocks.I actually have to think about this as wonder in todays crazy age/laws does this count as smithing?I did my friends while was just a hunk of unfinished poly,may just demonstrate and loan out the iron.I as did obviously Fiesta look for glock style mag plans,was plenty of sites and would think a few the real deal,he is right,that horse left the barn a long time ago info. wise.

You can’t stop the signal.
Nice, but have to say really do not like the stipling work(or lack there of).The 3d printing world is only growing,I hope we last long enough to see bio 3d printing,would be cool for folks who lost say a limb in accident or eye ect. to have a doc say,yep,get a few samples,get the machine up and running,come back in a few weeks and we will attach say your new arm/kidney/eye ect.I realize bio engineering ect.can be used for evil but really want bio 3d to help folks(heck,pets also) regain useful parts lost to disease/accidents.
A few minutes with a soldering iron.
The lines look to perfect so I’m saying probably not.
That mag is 3D?
That’s a good question. I wonder if any plans are floating around out there for a 3d printed glock mag.
It’s amazing what happens with 3d printing – it really helps people to get control over their
lives back. The biggest problem for people in europe is getting the upper parts that are extremly regulated over here … Again, if you are no criminal, you are suffering from that law – people might think, why not get a license then … but the cost for that is so ridicolously high and you are so much under survailance if you decide to apply for such a license in Germany for example, that it’s no option for many people – needing a life long active shooting-club membership, needing two safes (each several thousands of euros) to store gun and ammunition seperately , yearly unanounced inspections by Law inforcement. It’s a nightmare.
Its not even possible to get a simple Glock 17 Gen 4 guide rod without a license. So if there is any libertarian in the US is willing to help (only with the legal upper parts!), I’d really appreciate it! [email protected]
