Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has an idea where one could pick up a replacement slide for a Bell G17 gbb pistol. Specifically a black slide, no "bling", preferably with trademarks.

I've searched these forums, and google with no results matching what I want.

I've found the ZEV style slides (with the cutouts and-usually-gold/chrome outer barrels), but as this is for a Law Enforcement style loadout, I'd like to minimize the "bling". Alternatively, I've heard little concrete information on whether a WE or TM slide will fit with little modification, so if anyone has more details on this please let me know.

INB4 buy a TM/WE pistol instead: I bought this pistol for one reason, it comes with, and is apparently made for, CO2. Show me how to run CO2 in a TM without it turning to powder and I'll consider it. As for WE, the CO2 magazines often seem to be double the price (of Bell's CO2 mags).

Thanks!

ugh.

The argument is not even primarily about the internals/externals about TMs running CO2 (you can always put in the time/money effort to re-inforce these things).

It's the mags. BELL mags are superbly inadequate compared to TM mags.
...hell even against WE's C02 mags, they don't stack up as well. Bell mags are just horrible compared to the latter choices, at least in my experiences. THey leak (some right of the box), they break upon the first drop, they don't create a good mag-to-slide gas transfer, yadi yadi yadda. Just inefficient in general.

But to each his own. If Bell is your choice then Bell is your choice.
Just remember, in airsoft "...you get what you pay for..."
So to answer your question, try tiger111hk. They sell Bell slides there. I'm looking at the one you want right now...
