3D Printed Projects: Beretta M92 and G19/26

Published on April 1, 2022
Duration: 10:30

This video showcases two 3D printed firearm projects: a custom Glock 19/26 hybrid design and a Beretta M92 frame by Gerald Katz. The Glock hybrid features a 19-length slide with a 26-length grip, offering magazine flexibility and a unique aesthetic. The Beretta M92 project is in beta, with plans for an Auto 9 inspired variant. The video highlights the growing capabilities of 3D printing in firearm manufacturing.

Quick Summary

The 3D printed Glock 19/26 hybrid features a 19-length slide with a 26-length grip, offering enhanced magazine flexibility by allowing the use of any Glock magazine length. An optional standoff device at the front prevents the slide from being pushed out of battery, increasing safety in close-quarters situations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary benefit of the 26-length grip on a 19-length slide in the 3D printed Glock hybrid?

The main advantage of the 26-length grip on a 19-length slide in the 3D printed Glock hybrid is its magazine flexibility. It allows for the use of any length of Glock magazine, from the shortest 26-round magazine to extended 'stendo' magazines, offering more options for ammunition capacity.

What is the purpose of the standoff device on the 3D printed Glock hybrid?

The optional standoff device on the 3D printed Glock hybrid serves as a safety feature. It acts as a physical barrier at the front of the slide, preventing it from being pushed out of battery during a defensive encounter, which would otherwise render the firearm inoperable.

What are the future plans for the 3D printed Beretta M92 frame?

The 3D printed Beretta M92 frame is currently in beta testing. Future plans include developing an 'Auto 9' inspired version, reminiscent of the firearm from Robocop, which will feature an add-on front module with a steel barrel liner for durability and aesthetics.

Where can I find the files for the 3D printed Halo Magnum?

The files for the 3D printed Halo Magnum, which is based on a Glock 19, are available on the speaker's Odyssey page. These completed design files are offered for free to the public.
