Cracked Slide

Hey boys, long time no post.
Hope everyone's ok!

This is my Colt 1911 National Match 2tone. It's slightly modified and was mainly used for propane testing. Testing has resulted in slide crack just after the aim sight, which is invisible to the naked eye, but can be seen once the propellent is forced through the chamber.

My question is... is there anything out there that can be used to strengthen this abs slide, some kind of metallic coating? Also, I'd be interested in buying a metal slide for this particular model, but do not know where to look. Any help appreciated.

It's odd that it would have cracked, as this is a gun rated to operate on propane out of the box. Sorry can't help you on this. Just thought it was wierd that it cracked.

Does anybody know if I'd be able to use a metal slide from a WA or KSC Colt 1911??

Not likly, sorry the kwc is not a clone/copy of any reputible company. (as far as i know, I MAY BE WRONG) Thus, wont have a metal slide available for you.

In alot of cases, ESPECIALLY if you live in the USA it will be cheaper than for you to buy a new gun.

Non-sense. The KWC is much cheaper than any of the KSC or WA models.
Besides, it's not about the money. I want to preserve this gun and prevent it from braking as it is the only abs model I have and don't have any import contacts at the moment for replacement. It's a beautiful piece and still performs well with only duster gas.

Since it is such a beautiful piece you'll most likely want it to look like new, in which you'd need some good autobody experience to make that possible.
Although, I've found that plastic weld can be quite durable for chips and cracks.
