In my communications with them, the BBU that comes with the kit is unique only to the kit, as it has to incorporate fitment of the melt-in optic mount.

There is a separate product available for a light weight CNC machined aluminum aircraft blowback unit (very similar to the ILLusion Kinetics product for the Hi-Capa/1911 series) that is available for sale separately. I have a couple of these inbound to me right now.

They say they're packing mine, but it still shows as pre-order. I hope they aren't teasing.

RMR copy lined up. Now just need to figure out the holster.

I knew it. lol.
I saw their seperate BBUs for sale on WGC.
Thanks Brian.

...and watch your inbox for my PM regarding those BBUs. You'll get one as soon as you list them in your sales thread. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Do you know how much their BBU weighs by any chance?

Sweet. Post up some pics when you get it in. I'm itching to get mine and inspect the shit out it....

I should have them in my hands early-mid next week.

No idea about the weight at this time, but I'm guessing it'll be around 30 grams.

I hope this will be heavier than aip or aka bbu

Box with Guarder and Detonator slides just showed up. So I guess I have to build 3 pistols.

Build thread please!?

Second!^ Lots and lots of pictures!

I'll see what I can do. No picture till the end though, don't want to spoil the surprise.

That's no fun...

Let me know how you like that Detonator slide. I think it's prolly the best out of the all the slides that I've fondled...and I've fondled a lot....

It's pretty nice for sure. First glance as nice as the AS. I'll see how the fitting goes.

Right now I"m stippling all the plastic objects I can find in the workshop to nail down the 2 styles planed for these builds (and the upcoming Salient).

That's going to be a sweet one. It should require any fitting at all. It's just a straight drop. Although I think there's a trick to putting the slide in...

When I had my Detonator Glock, I didn't stipple it. I think you called me on it too. lol.

But you'll be doing it right...and then some. I'm eager to see it.

The slide doesn't feet straight on, it mates up halfway on the frame.

The Bowie build will be the first one done so it'll be up here soon.

I think it will actually be lighter. The AIP one is cast, which tends to be heavier.

The AIP is about 24g without the loading muzzle set and piston head.... about/nearly half the stock BBU weight.

That'd be a little too light for my taste if it was lighter but then again., I prolly wont even notice the weight difference. I will probably complain more about the felt recoil with the G-Modify BBU if anything. heh. THat light, it may have lighten it the recoil.
