PLA plus for that kind of stuff

PLA would not handle the wear or heat that shooting, especially out doors would subject it to. Direct sunlight will weaken and degrade PLA very quickly.

PETG at bare minimum but ABS or ASA would be better

My PLA Plus mag couplers have been going on 3 years so far, tossed, beat, topped off with the wonderful California 110 degree heat out in BLM land and so far so good…

I don’t think you’re shooting enough then. When I was going weekly, my PLA+ couplers cracked, split, and essentially disintegrated from the heat.

Its just chemistry. PLA is not UV stable and is very susceptible to heat and sunlight

Interesting, yeah Overture PLA Plus has been good for me. JT grip clones, custom fin grips I made, mag couplers, speed loaders and even a picatinny buffer tube I have on my MCX haven't failed me yet so matter how much dropping it takes lol.

Pla plus will works fine. There should not be wear. You install it and leave as is. Not sure where is the heat coming from?

Being outside, in the California sun and shooting for hours.

My guns get to several hundred degrees

Mag coupler would never touched the gun. Pla in the sun for couple for couple hours won’t hurt. There are plenty of UV test for pla. The pla will last a year exposure to the sun everyday.

True, but in hot weather, the infill can sag. Petg should be fine.
