The slide (like all listed on ProG4's site) is a Hi-Capa 5.1 slide, so you will need to find sights that will fit. I personally use Nine Ball combat sights.
The recoil rod bushing it comes with is not the proper type you need if you want to do a barrel bushing setup. It will not allow the barrel bushing to lock on. This is why you need to get a 1911 recoil rod bushing, and turn it down to length.
As for the KJW lower frame, I'd suggest otherwise. It's not built very well, poor manufacturing quality, and it uses a proprietary sear disconnector made from cheap materials. I've seen this disconnect lever break on multiple occasions, and finding a replacement won't be easy.
I'd recommend the ProG4 railed frame instead (which I also designed for them). It's a Kimber RL style frame with an integrated rail. It can handle CO2 better than the KJW one can.
As for the flow valves... I have minimal experience with CO2, so I couldn't give you much advice there. I'd say to try it and let us know what your findings are.

Thanks for the info!
Yeah I saw the Kimber Gold Match slide on their website when the ProG4 website worked a few hours earlier (albeit really slow). It's the same one as the Airsoft Surgeon Kimber slide right? I've read on arnies that ProG4 is the OEM of Airsoft Surgeon aftermarket parts.
Actually the slide itself is not the top priority since I only want to build a reliable CO2 pistol that have trades on it. I needed the KJW lower frame because of the groove which allows their CO2 mags to be used as the 1911 frame itself (without the cut) cannot fit the CO2 cartridge. You mentioned that you and ProG4's Kimber lower frame (w/ rails) can hold up to CO2. Do you mean that the lower frame have the groove cut out to fit the CO2 cartridge or was there another method in which CO2 can be used in Green Gas mag? I know madbull made an adaptor for those CO2 cartridges but I thought they were only meant for certian kinds of valves (grenades, AS tanaka shotgun slugs, etc.) and green gas fill valves can't hold in the pressures of CO2.
A pic of the groove I'm talking about

It's a pic from RW's website for the KJW MEU (the same groove is on the 1911 to fit the CO2 cartridge)
Since the KJW frame uses a proprietary sear disconnector (quick google searched also verified....but I've always thought the KJW was a 100% 'clone' of the marui system...), this means that I have to drop this project unless the ProG4 lower frame have the cut for the CO2 cartridges such that I can use KJW CO2 mags. If you know of an alternative method to use CO2 for 1911s, please enlighten me!
I could've saved the trouble by switching the base gun to a hi capa (2011) but I really really want a 1911 CO2 gun that uses the marui system. The only other available option is to buy the inokatsu 1911...
Thanks again for all your help!
