The thing about the sights is kinda funny, but this is just a fun fact for you: the real steel Gen5 sights often deliver low shots, they're not all the same actually, many switch them for Gen4 sights because of that. For the replica, I dont think they did that to prevent the low shots the Gen4 is known for. The Gen5 is half-blowback and achieves more FPS that way. It probably is just because the Gen4 was produced by KWC and the Gen5 is by WE or smth, so naturally parts won't end up identical.

To make gen 5 Stronger. Weakin the spring so the blowback is more intense. Order 6mm steel bbs. And always keep your barrel clean.

I got Gen 3 G19 bb and Gen 3 G17 pellet both are great only what I no like is paint bcs it came off quick and for me that G17 Gen 4 is myb most realistic air Glock looking of them all.

Personally, just from a replica point of view, the gen 4 is far better than the gen 5 as it has a true single action trigger rather than having the double action (revolver style) trigger that the gen 5 has and pulling through the longer trigger pull is bound to effect accuracy (in much the same way that DA shooting does in a revolver). The lock back on the last shot with the gen 4 is a big plus point for me as well as the fact that it can be field stripped like the original too, just adds to the overall 'replica realism' . As for the higher rear sights on the gen 5, well I think that has more to do with compensating for pellet drop as pellets weigh more than steel BBs (pellets are generally > 7grains vs steel BBs at 5.1grains). I think that Glock's intention with the gen 5 was to make a 17 much more easier for prolonged carry, rounding the edges and reducing catch points makes it easier to pull from a holster and conversely put back into one too, the 'snag' factor has become a hot topic for gun designers over the last few years and Glock just wanted to fill that niche in the market. Flaring the mag well just makes reloads easier and quicker too, all round they were trying to regain a bit more of the market both in terms of civilian sales and the Police sectors too. In truth though when people say 'Glock' to me I immediately think of the ol' slab sides (the original G17) with it's lego gun looks and incredible reliability, which if you're looking for a day-to-day workhorse then the G17 is the right choice, irrespective of what gen you actually go for.

Another great video, thanks bay.

Can we strip a Gen4. Gen5 cannot be stripped

Muy bueno el video y muy bien explicado like y saludos desde el mediterraneo

Which is more accurate mate

Nice vlog about the Glock 17 Gen4 and the Gen5 ( 6mm ) airsoft . I have a decision to make: i have co2 🔫 airguns ( 4,5mm ). I have some Glock´s including 1 Glock 17 Gen3 ,Gen4 and a Gen5. Also 1 Glock 19X ( Coyote ) with recoil. The Gen3 and the 19X I keep,would you go for a Gen4 or for a Gen5? Comments and answers are welcome

Is power the same?

Are the gen 4 & 5 mags interchangeable?

Whats the gloves for

9xp with a blue Lazer spot

And is there anyway to redo the finish on the Gen 4 slide?

It’s hard to give your video a thumbs up when you didn’t even think about letting us hear the gen 4 chock when that kind of thing is important to an observer. I will never-understand it with air gun video presenters.

Dumb question, but would a Gen 5 airsoft, fit all the internals for the Gen 4 air gun?

Hey mate I have the Glock 17 2 with red Lazer spot the most powerful

Gen 4 will field strip, correct?

Hello...Is the barrel and a slide of a Gen4 glock 17 compatible with gen5 glock 17?

sorry for being stupid but does the gen 5 shoot bbs

put in the title that they are BB guns please
