SD Hi-capa slide Fitment issue

PS: for the fake screws, and the sti logo for the grip, can i use crazy glue? Epoxy? Since its ABS plastic im not sure .......

Looks right to me... what about it doesn't look right to you?



I really gotta take new photos of that gun. It's one of my faves, but I never use it....

As for the fake bolts and the badges, I use Krazy Glue.


As for the lugs, you can break/chamfer the edges if you like, but they will eventually do it on their own through use anyways. The steel chamber will break the aluminum lugs on the slide naturally. I personally decided to skip that and spring load the barrel instead, so that the lugs don't need to be used. This changes the natural state of the barrel to pull rearward. It moves forward into battery under the power of the recoil spring applying pressure to the slide. When the slide pulls back, it releases the pressure, and the barrel will fall backwards under it's own spring power. This means that the pistol can function perfectly with the muzzle pointed downwards. (In regular setups, gravity will pull the barrel back forward and can cause cycling issues when the slide attempts return to battery.)

Krazy glue, yes, I remember when I first got my SD grips, the fake bolts flew off from recoil..

Make sure your badges are parrellel with your slide. :P

Because i thought it had to fit/lock like on a normal bull barrel hicapa.... But i guess i was wrong....

Anyways....Thx to evreyone who helped!

btw : this is only my junior hi-capa..... 6" hybrid 2 tone hicapa to come this summer !!! Stay tuned!!

@Mr.Hitman yes! Thank you.... I was asking that same question to myself.... Haha thx man

Well... it IS locking in... how is it not?

If you see the chamber raise up in to the port as the slide returns to battery, then it's locking in.

Or were you expecting a higher tolerance fit where the chamber edges mates up better with the port?

Ya i thought it would fit a little higher....
Meh nvm.... It will come with the normal wear of the lugs i guess.... Too bad...
Haha i now have a full metal hi-capa
