Hi Andy, Another great review. I purchased the Gen 4 about three months ago & am very glad I did. It's no tack driver but is OK for back yard plinking. Actually this BB gun was purchased as a safe training aide for my three high school to young adult nieces. For that purpose I have found nothing better that the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 BB pistol. My main difficulty with this replica has been getting the threads started straight when loading the CO2 cartridge into the magazine. Sometimes I get lucky & the threads line up the first time but usually I must try several times & also makes sure I don't get frustrated & force the issue. Thanks for your good humor & that Great British accent, Larry

Thanks for another great review Andy. Umarex seem to have consistently got 90% there but failed to produce a glock that doesn't have some glaring issues (gen 4 excepted). That slide though! Even merely touch the pistol and it's someone is flicking an empty can. How can Umarex or Glock be happy with that!

@robbieracer3294 3 жыл бұрын

Too be honest, I felt they thought they needed to make a gen 5, but realized they already had a winner with the gen 4 and didn't want to produce the same thing again at additional cost. What would've happened was another gen 4 just with a new design on the slide(the rounded bits). They should've just stopped with gen 4 and if they wanted to make another glock, just do another model besides the 17.

@brorjordas1979 4 жыл бұрын

Ha! That slide on the gen5 burned my eyes immediately I saw it.😂 But I did though already know which magazine system it uses and that it is not manufactured by KWC as the gen4. Got the gen4 myself. Love it for being a well made replica. The accuracy had to be fixed on it though - because mine shot also very low (approx 7cm low from a 6 meter distance) as it were. Knew that the gen5 was to win the "Joule competition" between these two. Own the ISSC M22 and the UX HK VP9 from before - both sporting this same type of magazine that the gen5 has. And they do shoot harder than the plastic lip magazines do because of being so co2 efficient. My ISSC M22 actually even blew it's firing pin out because of the hard recoil. But the VP9 is my favorite so far. The VP9's slide does not wiggle around as on the M22 and this G17 gen5.. Personally not a Glock fan myself and I only got the gen4 and the pellet shooting gen3 Glocks.

@brorjordas1979 4 жыл бұрын

@MachineGunIt No. My VP9's slide sits on there pretty good. It has kind of a very short railing at the front that locks the slide into the lower frame and prevents it from wiggling. Only when the slide is locked back after the last shot it is more loose upon the lower frame.

@deano269 Жыл бұрын

Bought a gen 4 was £240! But much better than the Gen 5 for sure! Had a .177 pellet option also but doesn’t have blow back so was easy decision. It’s amazing. Love the weight only slightly over the real thing and feels lovely in the hand.

it can be dismantled. you just need to push one pin out. not field friendly tho and I do not see any use for tearing it down. Also pulling slide does do loading work and trigger gets light after it, but you can skip it and just pull trigger. blow back also does do loading work while shooting.

Low FPS on any Gun just drives me crazy. I want POWER baby !!!

@esa689 2 жыл бұрын

yea, I am a bit late but after seeing this, I went back to check my gen 5. you can tear it down with tools (you just have to push one pin out) and trigger gets lighter if you do loading slide before first shot, (blow back does do the reload work for next shot) but it is not necessary for shooting. I don't have gen 4 so can't correct anything with that or compare to it :)
