But to answer the question so everyone can see, the Marui Hi-Capa series, despite being plastic, holds up fine to propane. The 5.1 has a tendency to crack at the rear sight dovetail... but it's not consistent. Some users see it break after 5000 rounds... some will never see it. If anyone who's had this happen to them wants to chime in, please feel free.

I had my 5.1's slide break at the rear sight as described after around 3000 rounds. The gun still cycled, but the rear sight couldn't be mounted. I used it for several hundred rounds after the break, but its kinda hard to shoot at distance with just the front sight.
I've since ordered a slide from SD. The new slide weighs in at 92.2 grams which is about 3 times more than the stock slide at 31.5. I'm temped to slim down my BBU in an attempt to shed some grams there, and get the cyclic rate closer to the stock configuration.
