Shell ejecting full steel available?

    I'd like to buy a blowback, full (or very much) metal pistol with the whole shell ejecting thing going on.
    I've looked around but closest I can get is the cz75 which is apparently very light and plasticy.
    Does such an airsoft pistol exist?

    (ideally it would take a silencer too)

    There is the Murushin Glock 21 and there is an aftermarket metal slide for it. But they only hold around 8 rounds.

    Short answer is no.

    Shell ejectors are made by a Japanese company called Marushin. As it is a Japanese company, they are governed by Japanese firearm regulations and restrictions. This limits their build materials, specifically metal. This is why TM are all plastic.

    I have a CZ75...it's not a good replica. It feels like cheap shiny plastic, sounds like a toy, but firing it IS satisfying. However, if I could go back and not buy it, I would. There are not very many guns I can or would say that about.

    Why do you want a shell ejecting pistol, just out of curiosity? As I said, I own one and had wanted one for cool factor...but I'd rarely use it cause of the hassle of loading BBs into shells, shells into mag, firing, picking up shells and repeating the process

    I have the Glock 21. Yes it does only hold 8 rounds, but then the real one only holds 13 so it's not that far out. Those five missing rounds are making room for the gas tank.

    It's a surprisingly heavy pistol given that it's entirely plastic. I had considered replacing the shiny plastic slide with the metal one, but on a mild day it struggles to cycle as it is, so I can only imagine what the metal slide would do to the cycle ability and speed.

    I like mine, but I never use it. It's fun but entirely impractical and pointless.

    Do you have to get an aftermarket metal slide or do any of them come metal?
    Thanks.

    As far as I know ALL shell ejectors in airsoft are made by Marushin, and all marushin guns are plastic due to them being a Japanese company, and having to comply with stringent firearm regulations, of which state that it must be constructed in such a way that it can not possibly be able to fire a live round, and survive (i.e. where Tanaka got into hot water over their Cassiopeia series). This roughly translates to all japanese-made pistols having plastic slides.

    No Japanese-made pistols come as standard with metal slides or frames, to the best of my knowledge. Only their OEM companies (e.g. KSC/KWA) offer metal slided variants for export, as they are constructed outside of the country...but I'm a little sketchy on those details.

    Put simply, no. No shell ejectors that I know of come metal as standard.
