Draft:Raptor Grip M500
As you probably noticed, I did some copy editing here.

The legality section still needs work. It would also need me to learn the intricacies of the ATF rules on when firearms aren't firearms, and why a shortened shotgun with a parrot head handle turns into an umbrella instead. This is largely why I haven't done anything with it.

Sourcing is a problem. is one of the few that aren't self-published and even then, many WP editors would use policy as a reason to delete anything with "blogspot" in the domain name.

Notability is also a problem. "Is this notable?" (in a sensible sense) could be from either the firearms regulatory sense, or from the 3D printed sense. I can't really judge the first. The second is more my interest and I'm afraid I'm not seeing it. This had the prototype 3D printed, but not the production items. As to WP:Notability, then it's all about sources and it's going to have to find some that are more independent of the makers themselves. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:45, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
