The Harlot is one of the easiest, smallest, strongest, most practical 3D printed .22 pistols in existence. She only requires a very short list of readily available non-firearm parts and no special tools. This build is for everybody everywhere! The Harlot holds 6 rounds in a storage clip plus one in the chamber and features a crisp trigger pull, a built in ejector rod, and a single action hammer with a half-cock safety. Please check the Read Me for links and details.
Stay tuned for a TON of variants, mods, and stipple packs!
Kopsis response is spot on. Handguns are not typically the easy first build you want to start with.
I know its not as exciting as some of the other builds, but please start with some variant of the harlot. To keep it a bit more exciting, download "BLC Presents the Harlets" which is a mega pack containing all their options. The harlot is largely modular, so in many cases you can mix and match parts to build something unique.

Handguns in general are not the "sweet spot" of 3D2A. Consumer printers and the materials they can handle just can't produce strong enough parts in the sizes that make sense for most handguns. So when it comes to handguns you basically have two reasonable choices:
- Any of the single-shot 22LR designs. Building one of the Harlet/Harlot/Gambino/Cabfare or their derivatives is sort of a rite of passage into 3D2A. These are complete DIY builds an…
I see your problem now. If you are only using these for blanks, with primer only, you could probably use a more rigid material such as PETG. Although something such as PA-CF or PLA-CF might do the trick, I would avoid filled materials because they are abrasive. I have had similar thoughts about adding a steel pin for the anvil in other projects, but since I have started using the primer bar, I have had no reliability issues. This won't work for …
