So yes, you can 3D print the frames, slides, receivers, etc.
But you'll still have to assemble this stuff, and it would take someone of some decently good gunsmithing skills to put together a whole handgun, with all of the intricacies of the internals.
Not to say that it's impossible, but not every Joe Schmoe can just get the equipment and voila, here comes a perfectly functional 3d-printed gun for you to go and some shooting with, without you having to do anything to make it operable. It's not like it's Star Trek where they ask the computer to conjure up whatever, and it replicates it for them...
The ability to 3d-print your own parts is interesting...
