How's the fit on the slide? I've read some say its loose.

The only Makarov with a movable slide is the blow back model. The non-blow back model is better.

The slide is tight, but this is early in use. I don't know if it tends to loosen after more usage! So far all is working well. We get a strong response from the CO2. An exciting piece.

As I recall, it slides out. I haven't changed it in a while, but I have done it successfully.

It locks in primarily around trigger guard and tension around slide. There's room I think for long slide 9 to fit, it fit my fns 9 perfect, some may stick a lil out the bottom.. as hard as holsters are to find I think it's worth a try. In my opinion.

There's a little slide. Not bad. I have an odd depth mattress so it adds to it somewhat. I'm not unsatisfied with it. It's certainly better than what I can get locally in my small town.

Slide is simulated and non-functioning. It does NOT move and there is NO blowback. It is a good low-priced option with food fps, however, recently mine has had issues with the co2 leaking.

The new sight has a stud on the bottom that fits in the slot in the slide. Sometimes this needs a little bit of fitting. The sight is held on the slide with a tiny screw that is provided with the sight. I highly recommend you purchase the little sight installation socket or grind down one of your own. With the proper socket size, it is not too difficult to install the sight. Also advise you to clean the sight hole and the screw with alcohol and put some Blue Locktite on the threads.

not a good fit for you. The angle will be very steep and the slide will prob. flex too much for older kids. I reinforced mine with 2x4s (not part of the original mfg's plan)

I haven't noticed anyone having trouble sliding...it is not really fast but enough to have fun. The kids seem to enjoy it.

mine is 50mm, therefore when i put my oly plates on them there is a little bit of slide space. not so much that it will jingle jangle but enough that it is not a tough resistance to slide my plates on

I bought this for my wife and she likes it. I like it also. My wife is 5'8' and I am 5'10". For someone who is strong and athletic, they may want to consider the longer size to get a longer slide but this size works well for us.

It was tight at first for me. However, I have had it almost a month now and it slides in and out pretty easily.

No I like this size and iam same height. When first using it I thought I should have gone smaller but I'm glad with the size . I am not a skater or anything I brought this for excersie and getting into shape so I can't help you regarding the slide. I can tell you it does slide.... Lol Im getting better at it.

It is just a little tight. I think with use it will loosen up. My grandson does not seem to be having any trouble with it.

You may have to jiggle it a little to loosen the catch. Also you can try slightly twisting the catch down while sliding it. If you have some, it helps to put a small amount of CLP or gun oil in the slide at first to try and work it loose.

Ironically I've answered this question before. For a really long detailed answer you can look at similar questions. However in short, Yes it will fit. You may or may not have 1/8th of an inch of it sticking out past your slide as it is considerably longer than a full length Govt dust cover.

I have been able to get it to slide a little, but the wheels and trucks are not meant for sliding and when you enter a slide it is very difficult to keep it going. I know that you want a board to slide with but you don't want to spend a lot of money, This board is mainly for Speed and Downhill and is on the cheap side. I recommend checking out originalskateboards dot com or loadedboards dot com for sliding boards. There are some top of the line boards on those sites for under 200. Pintail Longboards Complete on Orginalskateboards go for $139 - $149 they also have a Manhatten 27 for $130 Which is also complete with trucks, Wheels etc. I skate Original all the way, but Loaded is good too.

Slide has always been smooth for me. The sawdust can cake up on the joints so I suppose I can see the possibility....but not if it's (a) aligned properly at the outset and (b) cleaned occasionally.
