Hello everyone.

I'm looking into upgrading estheticly my Hicapa 5.1

It's currently fitted with a Tanio Koba grip and the rest is stock.

I want to use it with my WWII kit, for its game-ability, but also try to make it a bit more "1911ish"

So I've been searching around a bit and I came across these two slides.

PGC Springfield (http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/pgc-sprin...5-1-black.html)
AND
Guarder Sprinfield (http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/guarder-a...ringfield.html)

I am hoping to change the slide, outer barrel and to add a bushing up front. Thing is I've read the PGC couldn't be used with a bushing.

What about the Guarder? I know they seems to have pretty loose tolerances on their slides, but I'm really into gaming, not into pratical shooting. If it can take a beating and still work, I'll be happy.

About Outer barrels, I'm really new between the one-piece, two-piece, fixed, rotary and all. I just thought it needed to be changed with the slide to ensure propper fitment, and also the slide not chewing the stock outer barrel. Amirite?

Except that, would I need to change also to a 150% spring and High flow valves?

Thanks!
