Well, would a "real steel" front sight work with the g18?
Haven't personally fitted one but I've heard a lot of people seem to able fit them with some modifications. The rear sight won't fit though.

I've seriously exhausted every search engine looking for sights.
Look a bit harder. I'm looking at a site right now that has them in stock...

Also, is the nineball featherweight piston a good upgrade to you or is it not worth the time?
It depends on what your trying to do with the gun. I only use them on steel slides to reduce the weight and create a better cycle with the heavier steel slide.

But if you're running it with a regular Aluminum slide, it will lighten your slide assembly by a lot and will give a super slick cycle if you couple it with a few good upgrades.

The G18c slide is light enough, TBH. Especially with the compensated slide and barrel. The Nineball BBH is about half the weight of the stock BBH maybe even more. If you're slide is cycling just fine, I dont think it is necessary to replace it.

Also, where could I find a floating valve and selector switch :S
Again tokyo model company carries both of those parts. You just have to email them directly.

Or as Danke suggested try echigoya.

For the floating valve, there are myriad of aftermarket replacements for the 18c. You don't have to buy a stock one. Remember that a G17 floating valve will on the G18c. So if you can't find one that is designated for a G18c, you can buy a G17 one.
