I'm pretty sure it fits.  US Marshals used a couple of them the last time they trained and they have their serpa's.  But with that said I never saw them holster their guns since only a couple of them had the new WE G17's

Well i was planning on getting one until i saw a review say that it didnt fit into Serpa holsters because the frame was a little wider than the real steel G17.

Thanks Jon! And do you mean dremel the holster? I would except im not sure how my real steel G17 would fit after that. Thats mainly why i am looking into a Glock 17, so that all the muscle memory would transfer.

Serpa holsters aren't that expensive, buy a extra one to modify for your replica.
haha you're right, I was an idiot last night.

That's what I'm doing Austin.

Yeah but after you factor in the $100 for the base pistol, $30 for the holster, and the labor, it would be nearly the same as buying a KSC or TM G17. Not to mention with the TM you get trades and night sights.

I personally, due to past experiences with WE, Would stick to tm or kwa. Now that being said I've never owned a kwa product but hopefully that will change pretty soon

Labor costs?  You can work for yourself pretty cheap.

TM G17?  Good luck finding one.

         Like i said i love my WE g17 i wouldnt trade it for the world. BTW you can blame Joe for my purchase... while i was sleeping he was wispering in my ear about buying one... i woke up and bought a g17 lol. Anyways if you want to purchase a gun and you have doubts just talk to Joe he will help you with your choice hahaha.
        Well to stay on subject though the WE G17 is a solid gun. The weight is perfect and the mags are amazing to say the least... i have yet to have a problem with not having enough gas in the mag or anything like that every shot goes thru. I have also seen that its accuracy is amazing aswell at least when i tested it. To be honest i kind of just went in there bought the gun... didnt fire it at all till i started playing lol.

Ok, we tested it.  And we found out that the Serpa for a 40 cal G17 would fit but not for the 9mm...  Josh (2) bought the right one and it fit..  I hope that works.

Jon do you mean the Glock 22? Cause the G17 and G22 use the same Serpa.

I am told that it is the G17 with a 40 slide.  I haven't seen it myself.  Or even tested it myself.  This is what the guys who bought the correct one just told me when I asked.  Just passing on the info on the WE G17 serpa question.
