You print them in carbon fibre or a metal polymer alloy, the barrel, sear and pin are all metal. Many modern firearms are injection Molded polymers, the only difference with 3d printed guns is the structural rigidity of the frame due to the layer lines
So the parts that need to be all metal can't be printed at home then. I've never heard of a consumer level laser metal sintering machine.
