Tokyo Marui Fn 5.7 OD/Tan/Bk slides and frames

[Kretschmer]

Haven´t seen these on any shop or in news...

Guarder 5.7 Slides

 

 

As the RS 5.7 has a policarbonate covering over the slide, these plastic, pretty cheap slides and frames are just as good as the stock one. And they sure add variety and a non-expensive solution for chipping or wear on the original. And the extra bit of tactical fashion

[Kretschmer]

And also better markings, no more "TM" posing as "FN"...

[NeoVeNoM]

ok that's, I have had it. I am going to buy one now.

or maybe wait and see what UNcompany will do.

If I can buy them pre-assembled, less hassle for me.

OD looks nice...

[galactica]

Epic. I shall have the whole set, so I can mix and match like barbie or some shizzle.

I'm thinking OD slide on a tan frame or vise versa.....

Me too. I love how the OD slide on the Tan frame looks.

ouu I want a pink one......on another note.......shame that they didn't make body kits for the old versions of the Five-seveN, like the IOM, Tactical etc, instead of the USG

[galactica]

fitting them into the only custom holster (serpa) might have been a challenge, I guess - it's only because the marui exists that these do!

[frogfish]

The profile on all 5-7s should still fit in a SERPA as the lowest point on the curved guard is the same as the lowest point on the USG guard, and the SERPA is not the only custom fit holster, both FOBUS and safariland have holsters for the 5-7 ,as do many others. I think the main reason this design was chosen is that the original, IOM, and the tactical are now off the market, and the USG is the only one still in production.

 

Guarder could have just as easily made one of the other models, but I think sticking to the one most common is a safe bet in an initial run, if these sell enough we may see a IOM version although I doubt we will see an tactical or original as the changes between the IOM and tactical are really not that noticeable to the casual eye, the same could be said for the USG unless you really like the rounded trigger guard, and the original is a "tactical" with a double action and no safety, not something that could be placed in a replica set up to be single action with a safety.

 

In my opinion the trigger guard and smooth textured grip of the early models look stupid, I honestly did not like the looks of the 5-7 pre-USG.

Price is acceptable, I guess: around 60$ for a slide&frame and 25$ for just a slide.

I wish someone would release a silde and frame of the other FN 5.7 (not sure if its tha standard or tactical)

The frames are pretty cool, but I see no need for the slides.

 

The front "barrel" portion of the slide on the real gun is made of steel, so I doubt there is a RS all OD or all tan slide.

 

But anyways, you can't complain about options

[frogfish]

Bankz that's the original, notice the lack of a safety, that's the giveaway.

 

Somegirls, I ran across this a few years ago, don't know if it's real or not but I think I have seen OD slides as well, It wouldn't be too hard to powder coat the whole thing, just like the 1911s.

 

[The Crunchy Bunny]

That FDE frame and slide combo is looking real good.

[ThaFlash]

I do like the 5.7. Polycarb body, aluminum internal slide... this is starting to look tempting. Could be my first non WA 1911 in a long time.

[frogfish]

Does their website have a release date?

[Kretschmer]

supposedly they´re already selling it. I´m waiting for redwolf/den/wgc/uncompany to stock them and try them, but I need a lot other things that Intrudershop is not selling. Thus I´m waiting.
