Metal slide for XD(M) and OMGWTF PRICE!
« on: March 07, 2012, 10:38:24 pm »
So the Detonator slides (.40 S&W and .45 ACP) for the XD(M) were just but up on eHobby.

Hot



Hot hot...



Hoooooot.



Wait... what did that say?!



OMG WTF BBQ... yes, that says $240 USD... for a slide and an outer barrel. To put that into perspective, for $28 LESS, you can get a full hurricanE kit for a 1911 (http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/hurricane-kbr-custom-covert-ii-conversion-kit-for-marui-meu.html)



Heres hoping a cheap (and more silver) alternative is on its way.

That is the prototype of the slide above, before the applied the black finish. (i.e. that should be bare aluminium.)

Commercial products will have aluminum outer barrel.
The color is matt black.

I assume if they did an actual silver version the finish would be different, but regardless yes, the two-tone look is friggen sexy.

This is more like it. Den Trinity are listing XDm slides by Shooters Design for $151... a lot more reasonable than the Detonator slides.

Available in:

Black
Silver

and...

Friggin' Titanium!
