M1911 Silver Slide
 

Can anyone recommend a good silver slide for a Marui M1911? I've been looking at WGC and UNCompany, but all I can find are Hi Capa slides (not sure, but I doubt they can fit on an M1911) and slides for WA M1911 variants. The only option I've seen is to buy a frame and slide kit set.

And you cannot import a frame+slide kit....

Hi-Capa slide will fit, you just need a Tanio Koba Slide spacer, I think most retailers carries it, assume if they are in stock. If you get a SD slide you can also use their slide bushing to retain that 1911 look if you don't want to use the tapered barrel like Hi-Capa....

I'm looking for a slide like that. That was for a WA gun, though. How does this spacer work?

thats a beauty!

In stock at WGC and Dentrin:

"Installation: Remove part no. GM1-54, Insert Slide Spacer, install and tighten GM1-54"

SD makes Kimber slide for Hi-Capa, but its out of stock almost everywhere...

As seen here:

These are in stock though, but you'll need Hi-Capa's sight for it...

I love surfing parts that I wish I am buying....lol maybe when I want to switchout my slide for my Hi-Capa....

BTW, This is PERFECT for you if you want to go the route of Hi-Capa slide on 1911:

KIMBER Silver slide, WITH SIGHT, IN STOCK: http://airsoftglobal.com/product_inf...oducts_id=5546

Don't forget to get this: http://airsoftglobal.com/product_inf...oducts_id=6361

You need full length guide rod, which will require you to modify the hop-up mechanism a bit: http://airsoftglobal.com/product_inf...oducts_id=3347

Along with the Tanio Koba slide spacer, you'll get a very sick 1911 build....

Or you could ask me to get you some mirror paint.

If you don't really plan on dumping a lot of money in, here is the result...

This is the stock plastic slide of a Maruzen P99. Painted 5 layers of mirror paint on it.

I will get some Krylon gloss coat to finish it tomorow.

Edit:

I scratched the paint this morning before applying the clear, so I re built the gun to see what it looks like:

Damn, forgot I had this topic up. Thanks for the help guys. GOing to go with a hicapa slide. Now I've got to find a new trigger. Do Hi Capa/1911/Para triggers all fit unless otherwise specified? I've been looking at those Sheriff .45 parts.

Hi-Capa/1911 triggers are the same, so anything made for either one will work for the other. Not sure about the Para....

Sheriff makes parts for the Marui Hi-Capa now? Please enlighten...

No specifically for a Hi Capa. They're for .45 guns, apparently. You can find them on UN or WGC.

They're for Western Arms .45s - which are mostly incompatible with the Marui Hi-Capa / 1911.

Are they? They mostly just say ".45". Didn't specify which ones.

Where did you see this? Den Trinity? Those bunch of idiots don't know half the shit they're selling. Even in person, they're absolute pricks about it and talk down on you as if you were a moron for not knowing the answer if you ask about compatability... I hate dealing with them, but they have lots of good stuff - if you know what you're looking for.

They sold me some Sheriff parts saying they will fit a Marui Hi-Capa. When i got home, I tried them on and lo and behold... they wouldn't fit. I went back the next day and told them they screwed me, they pretty much said "well... you bought it, so now it's yours." Assholes.

on WGC shop, if you go to their parts section and look under Sheriff, you'll find .45 parts. Sounds like you had a bad experience with DEN
