Is the Makarov MP-654K really any good?

[Crash]

i have had one since getting back into shooting and its fab! as previously said they do like to be fine tuned to make it a smoother shoot but as its using the same parts as its 9mm big brother (main assembly) then its going to feel rough until this is done! And i believe its one of the only bb guns that uses original full bore parts?

its 9mm big brother

9X18mm to be pedantic.
The more modern CO2 Makarovs are manufactured as a separate entity to the fullbore model but do share some parts.
Early one's I wouldn't know but there are some differences to the present models.

Well i can say that the recoil spring used to be the same as it's full bore brother and that the the slide did close on me once and trap the the web of my left hand in the ejection post. Quite an interesting experience watching a makarov dangle from your skin while your brain thinks about helping you out of your predicament (and takes it's sweet time about it too!).
