Airsoft pistol Glock 17 IB, metal slide, Gas blowback

In 1980, the Austrian Army announced that it was looking for a replacement for the obsolete Walther P38 pistols. Glock assembled a team of experts and produced a working prototype within three months. The new gun was named the Glock 17 because it was the company's seventeenth set of technical drawings. After rigorous testing by the Austrian army, the Glock 17 was the winner of the competition. In 1982, the Glock was adopted by the Austrian army as the P80 (Pistol 80). GLOCK pistols are widely used in the civilian sector for self-defense, as well as by security forces around the world, especially in America, where they are one of the most widely used weapons. It has also received NATO certification and has become the standard service weapon of that organization.

Authentic replica of perhaps the most famous Austrian gunmaker Glock.

Umarex has been licensed by Glock to produce precision airsoft replicas that offer a realistic marking and appearance. As with the real steel gun, the ergonomic lower frame is polymer and the slide and barrel are metal. This version of the airsoft pistol does not lack the BlowBack system, which ensures realistic movement of the gun's slide during firing.

This is the grandfather of the GLOCK pistols, the model that came at the very start. The original fired 9mm rounds, and this licensed replica shoots 6mm BBs which exit the barrel with a maximum energy of 1 Joule. If you want to see what made this weapon such a classic, you can strip it just like the original. The heavy metal slide is visually impressive and brings the weight up to a hefty 650 g. Thanks to blowback and an adjustable shoot-up, you feel like you’re shooting the real steel gun. The GLOCK 17 is a collector’s item and a must-have for all GLOCK fans.

The trigger mechanism has a Single Action design.

The safety against accidental firing is, as in the case of the real steel pistol, solved by a trigger safety. The trigger must be pressed on the centre to deactivate the safety. The gun also has a switchable safety located under the barrel.

Under the barrel is a single-slot RIS rail for mounting accessories such as a flashlight or laser. The gun has a functional slide catch, a high quality metal hop-up chamber with VSR bucking, adjustable hop-up and polycarbonate nozzle.

The metal magazine has a capacity of 23 BBs and is filled with Green Gas. The hop-up adjustment is done by means of a wheel on the hop-up chamber when the slide is removed. The filling valve is accessible by removing the cap of the magazine.
