Can you and where would you lift someone’s prints off your handgun. I know that the lower half is made of polymer or plastic, so is lifting prints difficult now than before. I know the slide has grooves for gripping.
I use my red got mount the rack the round or use the slide lock to operate the slide, so where would my prints be on my firearm.
I know the magazine or the rounds will have my prints. But what about my firearm.
OMG! What did you do now? 
Its not what did. That question should be, What kind of trouble is he fixing 
to get in to?
Fingerprints on the magazine are more likely - and I hear they can sometimes get them off spent cartridges too.
There’s always a chance you leave even partial prints somewhere on the gun…
You pickup the handgun, you correct something, you check it, look at it the way that you have to change the grip… You never know the moment one of your 10 fingertips touch the handgun and leave nice print on it…
Just wear gloves… 
Everything is good everyone. I noticed that when I was cleaning my firearm, I did not see any fingerprints after used it last week. I noticed that the lower half did not need much cleaning.
When I repainted the slide I tried to see if my fingerprints showed up on the slide with the naked eye. It did not. So just not having an all metal frame like I use to have a Ruger Blackhawk 357 revolver.
Just the way firearms are now made, just curious of how much of my DNA or prints stay on my firearm at all time.
My Beretta has several places where a clear partial print can be found on the slide and the frame.
Pulling fingerprints these days is not as it is shown on TV. Soft brushes and magic dust have largely been replaced by super-tech light imaging technology. Can they pull prints off a Talon wrap or applique? I don’t know, but I wouldn’t like to risk my life that they can’t.
Don’t even think your fingerprints are not there, because these are not visible… Be sure these are there, easy to be collected together with your DNA.
If you are looking for “undetected perfect crime”, you need more than solvent, lube and gloves… 
There are issues with magazines being used to identify the person that used a firearm by virtue of the fact that even partials on the bullets or magazines themselves could be a stolen piece of equipment. Nice way to take an otherwise clean weapon and divert the LEO to start making an innocent persons life miserable.
Remember LEO is looking for the simplest answer. You are in front of them. Ruining your life will not interfere with their beer time.
Several years ago I attended an outdoor training class in a neighboring county. All the students had one common bench to use set up alongside a 40-foot shipping container used to store range equipment. We were warned to keep out fingers off other people’s stuff.
I had (still have) three magazines full of hollow points I carry on the daily. While I was in this class, I took the two magazines normally in my mag carrier and dropped then into my range bag. The third one, from my weapon, went into my back pocket. I used three other magazines with FMJ for the class.
When the class was over, the two magazines of hollow points I dropped in my range bag were gone. I contacted the instructors, they questioned the remaining students and then called the Sherriff’s office. I made a statement and reported the theft.
About two years later, detectives from that county came knocking on my door asking questions about why my fingerprints were on the magazines and bullets found in a weapon recently recovered at a crime scene. I dug out my copy of the old report proving I didn’t do it.
LE’s are looking for the shortest distance to achieve their goal of putting someone behind bars so we, as law abiding citizens, must be extra diligent protecting ourselves. Keep all your documentation in a safe location and have it ready when the time comes.
That’s very good information I need to be mindful about keeping up with my magazines and if I have to discard them I’m going to have to make sure I want my fingerprints off or completely smashed them around so no one tries to use them with my prints on them..
So far haven’t misplaced or lost any but I know for sure that if I do lost or misplace any I need to file the report and keep up with that documentation because who knows how long it might be before they it comes back on me..
