LaZouche Custom airsoft Detonator TM HK45 SAI slide review

I managed to borrow a friends recently purchased SAI metal slide for the new TM HK45 from Detonator. This is a lovely bit of kit.

Detonator have been making exceptional metal aftermarket quality parts for sometime now but ive been unable to review any as yet. The quality is just excellent, with a crisp moulding and very tight tollerences plus RS licencing for logo's and markings.
This particular slide is for the TM HK45 and is marked as that made by Salient Arms International (SAI). It has nicely reproduced gold outer barrel with markings and slide lightening cutouts for a faster slide cycling action due to less weight. Sights are also marked up correctly for Trijicon and are glow in the dark with white surrounds for daylight use, nice touch.
The action of the slide using Green gas in auturm UK tempretures is crisp and has a nice kick. Slide recoil is smooth and though a bit rough when hand cycling shows no hint of delay when fired. The slide is well done and has a nicely reproduced matt cerokote-ish like finish.
Problems that can and will occur with these slides is the outer barrel chamber will show signs of wear rather quickly but with liberal use of a decent synthetic oil placed on said area after every game should help to aleviate this issue.

Conclusion:
A well made though expensive piece of kit, its worthy of any HK enthusiasts armoury. Well recommended ;-)
