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 :)

Really nice replica

The gun looks and feels like the real thing Nice weight to it Solid construction, no wiggling parts Accuracy leaves a lot to be desired Magazine is cumbersome to load I am disappointed with the finish on the aluminum parts. It seems to be just a cheap coat of flat black spray paint. I've taken it out shooting maybe 4 times now and already there's bits of the paint chipping off on the barrel and slide and I have not dropped the gun at all. Might look into an aftermarket anodized slide and maybe repaint the outer barrel myself. Other than the bad paint and accuracy I love the gun.

Just like a Real Glock, but Accuracy was checked at the door

PRO: Simply put, If you want the feel, look, and awesome powerful- blow back of a REAL Glock you are in luck. This is as close as you will get to owning a Real Glock here in Canada without permits etc. CON: the only Con is the accuracy is poor, like all other reviews I've seen .. this gun shoots center low..and I mean LOW 6 to 7 inches low shooting from 20 feet and 28 feet. I tired to adjust the internal HOP UP screw, but that had NO effect on this. CON: This eats uo C02 fast due to the realistic blow back. So for realism YES, for target shooting, no...and If you just want to shoot at bottles and cans, make sue they are TALL targets.

Super fun but not very accurate

The blow back adds a little recoil and is really fun, it has the recoil of a .22 pistol. But since it’s a BB gun it isn’t nearly as accurate as pellet guns.

Its what you expect

Its a good bb gun my only complain is that the slide cover seems to have gotten loose and makes a rattling sound its solid right out of the box but when you field strip it it seems to scratch the paint and it can lead to complications if you dont do it right

Glock 17 gen4

Amazing pistol and the realism is incredible. I haven't tryied it yet but if I refer to some videos I've seen, accuracy is not quiet there. I've noticed that when the slide is back (locked), the outer (false) barrel is kind of loose, is it normal. Thank you very much.

Everything about this is gun has been said before. 5 stars! The only thing I wished they did is put the 9x16 on the slide too.

Amazing glock17 gen.4 replica

I have 6 blowback bb gun and one airsoft we-tech glock-18c and i must say that this (glock 17 gen.4 ) is the most well made ,crisper,hard blowback-kick, and this gun is bar far the best of all even my glock 18c feel a little loose when compare to the umarex of course the we tech is a green gaz blowback so its not as hard kick by nature but i can easely see the umarex official liscence glock is so much more ...for the power and accuracy i have not notice the shooting 4 inch low like everyone seem to get mine seem just perfect and the fps is way enough to blow up beer bottles and pepsi-can so that's fine for me
