The weak point of 3d printed guns is in the design, plastic is ok for the gun and longevity will be a concern depending on materials used to print with. Plastics have been used for years in various "real" guns. But you want a good reinforced design and ideally an injection molded plastic but just cram all the parts on a build platform without regard to the layer orientation.
Plus of course the 3d designs can be machined in metal too and how much use do you need from the gun anyway?
