The Technology, Legalities, and Safety Risks of 3D Printed Glock Switches

"The intersection of additive manufacturing and firearm technology has sparked a complex global conversation. At the center of this discussion is the "Glock switch"—a small device designed to convert standard semi-automatic Glock pistols into fully automatic firearms. Historically, converting a firearm required advanced machining skills, specialized metallurgy, and expensive industrial equipment. Today, the proliferation of consumer-grade 3D printers has shifted this landscape, allowing complex geometries to be produced quickly using polymer filaments. While the engineering behind these devices is technically simple, the legal, safety, and law..."
