\"A man who goes by the name ctrlpew on twitter and Instagram has helped develop what could possibly be the cheapest pistol in existence. After he and a group of other keybase users saw that Hi-Point C9 parts kits were on sale for just \$30, they joked about making the world's cheapest gun ever even cheaper. Ctrlpew decided to borrow a C9 from a friend and got to work picking apart the internals to see how it works. In his words, the design actually lends itself perfectly to being 3D printed.\
\
The Lopoint pistol might actually be better suited to the role of a modern liberator as the total print cost for the frame is \$3, combine that with a \$30 build kit and you have yourself a \$33 print.\
\
Total print time according to ctrlpew takes about 10 hours with a seasoned and skilled printer using an Ender 3 Printer which retails for about \$225. Each roll of PLA+ Filament costs about \$20. Less experienced printers have reported that the total print time can be up to 20 hours.\
\
One downside to the recent buying up of Hi-Point C9 Parts kits is that they are now inflating in price. Ctrlpew said the first 4 parts kits cost right around \$30 and now they are jumping in price on Gunbroker for about \$80 to \$100.\"\
