Customer Reviews for Umarex Glock 17 Gen4 BlowBack BB Gun

Brand: Umarex Canada

Type: BB Pistol
Manufacturer: Umarex
Model: Glock 17 Gen 4
Materials: Metal and polymer
Weight: 771 g (1.7 lb)
Barrel: 91.44 mm (3.6 in), metal, non-rifled
Power Source: 12g CO2 x 1
Action: Semi-Automatic, blowback, single action only
Ammo Type: 4.5mm steel BBs
Ammo Capacity: 18 rounds
FPS: 370

Trigger Pull: Single Action Only So You Will Need to Rack the Slide First to Not Only Chamber a BB in the Breach Area but to Also Cock the Internal Striker. There Is a Working Trigger Safety and You’ll Also Find the Glock 17 Gen 4 Has a Nice, Short, and Light Trigger Similar to the Real Steel Glock. Perfect for Fast Action Shooting!

Accuracy: Umarex Claims Around 300 FPS but I Was Able to Get a Little Higher with My 5 Shots Through the Chronograph, Averaging 310 FPS. I Was Able to Get Around a 3.5 Inch Grouping but I Feel I Could've Done Better Since Several Rounds Actually Shot One on Top of the Other. The Umarex Glock 17 4th Gen Did Shoot a Little Low and to the Left but Not a Lot.

Build Quality: The Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 Looks to Be Well-Made with Metal and Plastic Parts Where You Would Find Them on a Real Steel G17 Gen 4. Fit and Finish Are Nice and the Slide Wiggle Is Next to Zero. The Slide Spring Is Very Heavy and the Sound of the Slide When Racked and Released Doesn't Have That Cheap Metallic Sound Some Blowback Airguns Have.

Realism: Umarex's Replica 100% Looks the Part of a Glock 17 4th Generation Gun. Sitting on the Table and Even Holding It in Your Hand You Are Going to Think It's the Real Deal Until You Drop the Magazine and See That It Is a BB/CO2 Mag. Mostly Everything Operates Like a Real Glock 17 Including the Slide Catch Release, Trigger Safety, Magazine Release, and Even the Take Down Switches for Quick Field Stripping and Access to the Adjustable Hop-Up.

Pros:

  • Authentic Replica Airgun of the Glock G17.
  • Enhanced Blowback Slide Action for Realistic Feel.
  • Full Metal Slide That Provides Enhanced Blowback Recoil.
  • Ergonomic Polymer Body with Gen4 Textured Grip.
  • 18-Round Drop Free Magazine is INCLUDED.
  • Runs on One 12 Gram CO2 Capsule.
  • Fits Most Aftermarket Duty Holsters.
  • Tactical Rail for Accessory Attachment.
  • Working Trigger Safety Prevents Misfires.

Cons:

  • FPS Could Be Higher.
  • Sights Are Non-Adjustable.
  • Would Have Liked to Have Seen More Pristine Packaging from Glock.

Comments: I Know Everyone Has Been Waiting for Umarex to Release the Glock 17 Gen 4 BB Pistol and Here It Is Finally. I Really Like the Trigger on the G17 Gen 4. It’s Short and Light, Perfect for Shot Placement and Action Shooting. The Blowback Action Is Nice and Crisp, Giving the Glock Just Enough Blowback Recoil Effect. I Didn't Have Any Issues with the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4, Which Makes for the Best Testing Out of All the Umarex Glocks to Date. The Glock 17 4th Gen CO2 BB Pistol Is by Far My Favorite Version! If You Already Have an Umarex Glock, That’s OK Get This One Too, You Won’t Be Disappointed. If You Haven’t Bought One of the Umarex Glocks So Far Then This One Is the One to Have, but I Say Why Not Have Them All :)

Excellent quality

Very well made pistol. From all the reviews this seems to be the best generation. The sights are very easy to quickly aim unlike plain black sights. Easy to field strip and keep clean. In the youtube video Michael wasn't sure but the trigger safety works. Trigger is perfect. I may not use it often, more of a collectible. Fast shipping from BC to Que.

Amazing replica, not very accurate shooting

Quality is outstanding. Finish is almost flawless. Feels amazing in hand and the slide feels so real, it is one of the most faithful airguns out there. That said, it shoots low and is not very accurate. It would be putting every other co2 pistol to shame if it were accurate. I would like to know if there is any way that I can make the gun more precise without altering it and without using external components such as a laser. Is there any way to adjust the barrel?

Excellent replica

The build qualify is excellent. The sound of the slide is phenomenal. Good weight and feel in the hand, iron sights aren’t adjustable but they’re pretty spot on. Barrel does wiggle a little when you rack the slide but it’s a non-issue for the most part. The mag is great too, heavy and solidly built. Looks like the real thing no doubt about it.

Nice gun

Pros Pretty happy with this gun, I love the way it looks, feels and operates, it's field strippable, nice heavy magazine balances it well, good blowback action, really fun to shoot Cons Racking the slide and shooting has scratched the top of the barrel and it shows through the ejection port. Shoots a bit low.

Not as good quality as the older productions

I found this newer production of Umarex G17 gen4 steel bb gun not as good quality as the older ones. Comparing to YouTube reviews. The slide is a bit clunky, stripping and putting back together is not smooth operation. Sometimes it gets stuck in the middle when putting the slide back. It doesn’t come with the hop-up adjustment anymore. I only had one co2 to play with and worked fine.
