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 :)

Very good, solid build.

Incredibly good solid build, but the clip and inner slide seems to scratch a little bit but I guess that's to be expected because I enjoy messing with the slide and clip a lot without actually using and firing it (lol). The ring behind the end of the barrel comes loose when I disassemble the gun but can easily be put back in and usually stays there, so definitely not a huge hassle. I wouldn't change anything, besides maybe making that ring a tiny bit bigger to have a more snug fit. (Again, not a real issue in my books) but everything else is spot on. 5/5

Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4

Love the look, feel and blowback of this gun. Accuracy is way off. Had to aim 2 inches above target to get on target.

Worth the wait

All the reviews I read about the Glock 17 BB pistol said that the Gen 4 version had it all over the Gen 3 version for realism. So I placed one on pre-order with Replica Airguns Canada, and after one delay and 3 months, it arrived safely in my mailbox. Though I can't compare as I don't own a Gen 3... I will say that it is an incredible representation of the real 17. The loaded weight feels substantial in your hand. The double safety trigger works well, but does require a bit of getting used to if you have never shot a pistol with this safety feature. The blowback is substantial - but I'm still getting 4 - 5 full mags (15rounds) per Co2 cartiridge. The only issue I have with my gun is that right out of the blister pack (ya - so sad) it shoots low - like 3" low in 10 yards. The sights aren't adjustable, so I have to aim high, like at the top of 8" target to hit the center. No biggie - still a fun gun to shoot and practice with. Don't leave it lying around though - it's very realistic looking.
