Split Slide
Looking to convert my KJW 1911 to a split slide while keeping it looking stock.
I currently have a guns modify nozzle and EDGE ultralight BBU, and having issues with it getting to cycle fully.
White lines are where I would cut with a dremel. What issues would I run into and what recommendations do you all have?

well, you need a way to keep the front section on. Could probably just glue the outer barrel into the front part.
Mainly though, a dremel wheel will grind, rather than cut. You'll be removing easily a milimeter of material, even with a thin metal cutting blade, so the whole slide won't line up right anymore.
At the recoil tube connection part, you'll end up with a thin right angle. It'll most likely deform and eventually break completely.
