Airsoft pistol Glock 42, 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.
A pocket-sized pistol: This is a replica of the smallest model made by GLOCK. It’s ideal as a backup pistol or for carrying in your pocket, and with its metal slide and blowback effect it comes very close to the real steel version. On the inside, the story’s the same. Thanks to excellent workmanship, you can strip the pistol just the way you do with the original.
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.
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 10 BBs and is filled with Green Gas. The hop-up adjustment is handled by the hop-up wheel when the slide is removed. The filling valve is accessible by removing the cap of the magazine.
