K, so, I've had a really rough 3 weeks trying to set up my hicapa juuusssttt right. Everything was tested, re-tested, and re-tested AGAIN.

Then the gun explodes.*

So, I'm really in a bind right now. I've been told by atleast 12 different people that :

A. Hicapas with metal slides, and spring upgrades are VERY LONG LASTING guns, and are very reliable.

B. Hicapas with metal slides pose many barrel/chamber/breech lock (little grooves that lock the chamber/slide in place when in battery) issues.

C. Hicapas should be run STOCK only.

......

So WHO can give me the RIGHT info. Cause, I'm about to trash this thing, and go glock like originally planned.... There's no point in having a really nice gun that will eventually destroy itself.... AhemWAahem.....

* Regarding the explosion. It WAS NOT rig related. My Hicapa was holstered without the cord, thus making it impossible to snag. Upon inspection, I noticed that the problem may have come from the Airsoft Surgeon Blow-Back Chamber, as the piston was loose (by loose, I mean about to fall off). The threads were intact.
