FAQ for Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa, 2011, 1911, MEU & Detonics type variants

[kar120c]

Yes, steel outer barrel and Guarder 150% recoil spring are also planned to buy.
Do you think that bb unit and hop up chamber of the Desert Warrior may be different from Hi-capa ones and dosen't fit the 4.3 Guarder slide? but the DW isn't a MEU with a Hi-Capa 4.3 slide?
I have the most troubled pistol to upgrade and at this point I think that the Guarder kit (frame+slide) designed for the DW may be the only choice.

Whenever doing a metal slide upgrade on a 4.3, it's always recommended to also upgrade the outer barrel to a metal one, a stronger recoil spring, and an enhanced loading nozzle.

Okay, it sounds like you have most of your bases covered. Just make sure you get a loading nozzle as well, as the stock one is known to break with such a setup.

BB unit and hop up chamber will fit that slide fine.

Ok, thank you finally I can see the light at the end of the tunnell

A last thing....about the upgraded loading nozzle...Hi-Capa compatible right? 4.3 or 5.1 are the same part I think

ps I have an upgraded Detonics (see my avatar) with guarder kit renforced springs for recoil and hammer and the loading nozzle is the stock one, shot more than 10000 bb's with green gas and never broken........I should have changed it with an upgraded one but for the Detonics I can't find it

[ILLusion]

Yes. 4.3 or 5.1 is the same thing. Just get a Hi-Capa one. Airsoft Surgeon or Shooters Design are good choice.

As for the detonics, there are no aftermarket nozzles available. Luckily, the stock one seems to be stronger than the Hi-Capa one. I am running mine with a heavier metal slide, Guarder 150% springs, propane, and high flow valves as well. So far, no problems, but I have a few extra nozzles on hand, just in case.

You too have a TM DEtonics? this is my favourite pistol, I am curious to see how customized it is, if you can post pics and I post pics of mine

I haven't taken any photos of it myself, yet... but here's a photo that was taken by MadMorbius when he made this custom IWB leather holster for it:

Random platform related question, does anyone use Raven Concealment type kydex holster for Hi-capa? I am trying to get a more gameable belt holster for my SVI build. Its a short dustcover 5.1 type setup....

I don't see why you couldn't get one custom made to fit, but realize that in general, Kydex type holsters do apply a fair bit of friction to the gun which will affect the finish. I'm not sure this is something you'd want to put an SVI through.

For what I can see it is a nice gun and silver is my fovourite for the Combat Master but I should have swiped the grip with the Altamont Rose, same grip I wish for mine but they seems out of stock everywhere

I could also get a Blade-tech molded holster for the gun...I have a IWB style Bladetech right now that works, but I want something a bit more accessible than the IWB. I am thinking for the use of either like the skirmish or IDPA style shoot at CAPS(though I guess technically 2011s are not really IDPA guns, but CAPS allows it...lol).

Also...

I wanted to get a slide set like that made a while ago, but Capt KK was not too responsive about it...this was before I built the 5.1 size gun. Too bad there aren't that many 3.9/4.3 sets compare to the 5.1/IMM-ish set...

[ILLusion]

I use to have a Bladetech as well, but it would also mar the finish of your gun. There are some guns I use Kydex holsters with. My shiny competition guns aren't those guns used in those holsters.

[RacingManiac]

Well compare to my polished finish gun, the anodizing on this might hold up better?



Although TBH I'd probably not care that much anyway....

This looks promising...

[ILLusion]

It should definitely hold up better than a bare/polished finish. But yeah, if you don't care, I'd say go for it.

If I got the message, I would have responded. Apologies, I was fairly busy this weekend and didn't get a chance to log in. I'll get to your message today.
