Building on a Caspian frame, carbon steel. Now, what slide? I'd like to keep it to carbon steel as well (not sure yet if I want to patkerize or blue the thing when I'm done). Numrich has some colt (or so they say) slides with what look like Novak sight cuts, Fusion brand (decent price for the options available), Caspian (have to order from them directly to not have the billboard on the side, with that comes a wait), then there's Nighthawk and Wilson slides from Brownells.
So, any Fusion fans? Anyone get a "colt" slide from Numrich? Not trying to go low-budget with the build, nor break the bank. It'll be, ideally, range toy target pistol. Thanks in advance. |

When I got my frame from Caspian, I splurged a little and bought a Caspian slide to go with it. That way I was able to order the exact sight cuts and serrations I wanted.
True, I may have paid a little extra by ordering direct from them vs Brownells, but I got exactly what I wanted. The other nice thing about ordering the frame & slide from them, was that I had them fit the two together for a slight fee. I think it was like $75 or so, but it is one less head-ache I had to worry about, and it came out phenomenal. For what it's worth, I was quoted about 8 weeks for mine (slide & frame, fitted & shipped). I got it in about 6 weeks. When I ordered it, I called and spoke to them rather than filling out check-boxes on the site. They were very professional and they do really nice work. If you still have the frame with them (as in they haven't shipped it yet), you may be able to call and order a slide and just have them fit it there. Up to you. |
