Well, it had to happen eventually. Looks like somebody actually "printed" a 1911 from steel... More akin to using a computer attached to a milling machine to cut away everything that doesn't look like a gun from a solid block of stainless.

The exciting thing about this from my perspective is the potential for replicating obsolete parts.
