I'll create a post with all the specifics once it passes the range test. But for now, here's a sneak peek.

I'd be curious which STLs you used and what filament type you printed with

The black and tan are Overture super pla Plus

The green is Overture pla professional

The two 19 size use an STL called final strike V2 and the other two I'd have to hunt them down again.  All were found on the sea...

Wasn't sure if you were printing in pla, petg or maybe something different like tpu

How about the parts? Which lower parts kit(s) did you use?

All are OEM parts.  Two have Apex triggers with ghost connectors.  Two have only the ghost connectors.  The rails are from aves.

I don't buy it....  It's too flexible of a material to hold a slide on recoil.

Search on Google for "Fosscad TPU Glock" and his reddit thread with video should come up.  It's the same guy that developed the stack-a-gat glock and a few other popular gun cad projects.

I could see it working but really playing hell with the rails/slide. The pistol frame normally keeps the rails rigid, with TPU the rails are just holding the slide but the slide would end up keeping the rails in place when shooting rather than the other way around. I suspect it'd wear the rails and slide pretty aggressively.

That video is crazy!  I wonder if you could make the lower tpu and upper portion PLA+....

TPU might not be that bad. I printed a TPU golf ball with 100% infill that is super dense and has no squish.
