I have a semi-quick question. Are TM and WE 1911 parts fairly compatible? To my understanding, WE is a clone of TM's line and I was wondering if it was a good/close enough clone where aftermarket parts for TM's would fit. Particularly a slide. Yeah, yeah, I know I can/should buy a TM instead of putting an aftermarket part on a WE, but I like my WE and don't feel like pouring piles of money into a custom TM 1911 that I'll never use. If they are NOT compatible with each other, are there any aftermarket companies that sell metal 1911 slides that aren't $450 for a kit? I sure hope so...

I am about 95% sure that they are compatible, wait for some one else to chime in and confirm before you order any thing though.

They are, at least Im pretty sure they are. I KNOW that the WE slide will fit and funtion on the Marui lower, cant see why it wouldnt work the other way around.

I do know that WE mags will not work in a TM, and vice-versa. I don't know if a TM slide will work on a WE body or not. Judge is correct though, the WE slide does work fine on the TM lower.

Argh...you guys aren't helping my decision...I have nothing else to say. I checked on the shipping and since it is only going to be $18 from HK, I may end up ordering it. Worst case scenario, I'll have to sell my beloved WE and get a TM.

What exactly are you trying to do?....
That might help us a little.

The upper parts are exactly the same and the lower parts on the WE were made different to avoid copyright enfringement. So yeah that would probably fit but given that its a different company than marui it may need some slight modding.
