Buy the Magazine: UMX2276302, WE1060
Trigger Pull: Fairly short with only a little bit of take up. The release is light and crisp. The blowback action resets the internal hammer/striker with each shot for that true single-action trigger. It’s also nice that the trigger has a working trigger safety.
Accuracy: I placed 10 shots into a paper target with my Umarex Glock from a distance of 30 feet down range using my standard seated and rested shooting position (sand bag up front and sitting in the back). Shots did spread out a bit, getting close to a 4 inch group but I think some of this had to do with the fact that I was still using the lighter weight .20 gram airsoft BBs. Heavier .30+ gram airsoft BBs may have produced a tighter grouping for me. Even so, 4 inches at 30 feet that were pretty well-centered is good enough for close quarters shooting which is what an airsoft pistol is meant for.
Build Quality: The Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen seems well-made overall. It does seem a little bit underweight but it still feels solid enough in the hand. The slide is metal but has a bit of an unusual finish that makes it look a lot like a plastic frame rather than a more shiny metal look. All the parts seem to fit nicely, maybe even a bit snug at first, as I noticed the side had a bit of friction to it but seems to be working in nicely now.
Realism: The Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen GBB Airsoft Pistol looks the part of a Glock 17 4th Generation all day long. Other then the slightly lighter weight it would be hard to tell off hand until you remove the magazine and take a closer look. All the parts work as you would expect them to, similar to the real steel version. You can even fully field strip the pistol which makes getting to and adjusting the hop-up easy enough to do.

Cons:
Comments: At long last, Umarex has delivered an officially licensed GLOCK airsoft pistol replica. The GLOCK 17 Gen 4 is functionally identical to the real steel firearm that inspires it. Shooters will love the familiar ergonomics, take down procedure, metal slide, drop free 20 round magazine, and the realistic blowback action. Other features include fixed white dot sights, a functional trigger safety, and a tactical rail for flashlight mounts or laser sights.

www.ReplicaAirguns.com UPDATE: All Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 and Glock 19 Gen 3 GBB Airsoft Pistols now ship with the Shorter Barrels!! In this YouTube Update Preview Video I go over a couple new Umarex Glock Licensed GBB Airsoft Pistols that I feel require a bit of explaining. Essentially we already stock these same Umarex Glock Blowback Airsoft Pistols, but in the CO2 magazine versions. The Umarex Glock 17 Gen4 and Umarex Glock 19 Gen3 I highlight in this video come with Green Gas Magazines and both have extended inner barrels to allow for Canada import to increase the velocity to our over 360 fps using a .20 gram Airsoft BB. sually Green Gas Airsoft Pistols with extended inner barrels will have the ability to unscrew the extension and will even come with a shorter replaceable barrel but in this case all you get is the longer one piece inner barrel. My suggestion is to either cut down the long inner barrel to fit within the out barrel or purchase a short inner barrel when they are available. At the moment we do not have either one of these Airsoft Pistols listed in our Replica Airguns Stores but they should pop up shortly!

I wasn’t sure if I was going to get my hands on one of the Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen GBB Airsoft Pistols since the velocity was a bit low for Canada import but somehow we managed to squeak some in to our Replica Airguns Canada Store and for me to get a review out for everyone!. In this video we see how well Umarex’s Gas Blowback Glock 17 Gen 4 performs in the Replica Airguns Indoor See Can Shooting Range. I test out the velocity and accuracy and also talk a little bit about how the gun performed overall for me. And yes I have already made a Table Top Review Video so if you want those closeup shots and specifications then watch that video too… Read full article here: https://www.replicaairguns.com/2019/3/15/umarex-glock-17-4th-gen-gbb-airsoft-pistol-field-test-review Buy the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 GBB Airsoft Pistol in Canada: https://www.replicaairguns.ca/elite-force-glock-g17-4th-gen-gbb-airsoft-pistol Buy the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 GBB Airsoft Pistol in the US: https://www.replicaairguns.us/elite-force-glock-g17-4th-gen-gbb-airsoft-pistol
Type: Blowback GBB Airsoft Pistol. Manufacturer: Distributed by Umarex. Model: Glock 17 Gen 4. Materials: Metal & Polymer. Weight: 1.45 pounds (658 grams). Barrel: 3.75 inches metal non-rifled. Propulsion: Green Gas or Propane. Action: Semi auto blowback, single action only trigger. Ammunition Type: 6mm plastic Airsoft BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 20 round drop out full size metal magazine. FPS: Claimed 300+ Getting the Umarex BB versions of the Glock 17 and Glock 19 has for sure been a bit easier since fps velocity is not a factor. So it was great that we where able to import at least some of these Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen GBB Airsoft Pistols into Canada. I hope we will be able to continue supplying the Glock Airsoft versions in our Canada Replica Airguns Store but I can not promise anything… So if you see some in stock then grab one while you still can!
