    Buying first slider frame

    Hello, I am wanting to buy my first slide trigger frame. Do you have any recommendations that aren't expensive. I would like for it to be gloss black if possible. It is going on a first gen black magic with inception pneus.

      Most basic sliders go for $90/$100 maybe a little less if someone wants to hook you up, the more expensive sliders are gonna be $150/$180 without internals, I will say mozak frames are really nice though, another option is the dye UL slider I liked how it felt but it has a little finger nub on it that I just didn't like

      Stay away from the composite and pot metal ones and save yourself a future headache

        WGP aluminum sliders are plenty good and perfect for pump. They generally go for less than other frames like Benchmark, ANS Quick Fire, but they're great.

          Gloss black aluminum slide frames are generally harder to find than dust black due to the most common slide frames, like Benchmark, being dust black. So a glossy black frames will probably be more expensive than a dust frames too (the one exception being the WGP frame that was mentioned earlier). Nickel/chrome plates frames are usually much cheaper too because everyone wants nonplated frames. You can find food deals on them.

          Personally, id save up money and get a nice frame. The frame is how you interact with the gun. It's the last place you want to go cheap. I'd rather have a quality slide frame with an AKA trigger plate, trigger stop, brass glide screws, and roller sear (my preferred setup) on a stock 2000 cocker than a loaded autococker with nice pneumatics, internals, etc but a crappy slide frame.

          Mozak Machine does periodic runs of his slide frames from time to time. Save your money and get one of his, they are the best and barely more expensive than the nice used frames are the market. KAPP, Dye, and ANS frames are some of my other favorites. ANS and Dye frames can also be found with gloss black finishes. ANS tends to be cheaper than the other two, try to find one with its matching stock trigger. They fit the frame well (not much slide-to-side movement) and shorten the pull slightly. However, it's not a huge deal if it doesn't have its stock trigger plate because they accept pre98 style. Just snag and AKA trigger plate for it.

          Trust me, save your money and buy a nice frame. It's sooo worth the investment.

            I didn't realize they were so expensive/hard to find. I will probably end up with a gunfighter.
