I am trying to build my first build - something fun, handgun style, want something reliable, may be a little bit unusual. Would love your guys input!

Honestly? If in the US, get a 10/22 and print one of the MANY chassis for that bolt/barrel. After that, do a glock and learn why not to like browning tilting actions. After that, do a fuckin AR lower and give up on any other platform. AR is life.

edit: I saw you want a handgun, I guess glock but listen, sidearms are just backup. You're gonna get much more reliability from a proper centerfire rifle or carbine.

I appreciate your answer! I am honestly just doing it for fun/engineering side, I have other reliable glocks etc for the defense.

If the reliability doesn't matter, 100% do a 22lr just to learn how to print gats. Galileo R2 or Decimator are both great options that borrow a 10/22 bolt.
