Elite Force Fully Licensed GLOCK 19 Gen.5 Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol (Type: Green Gas)

"This pistol is awesome!! Get your hands on one, you wont regret it. Then, after you save your pennies, buy a 19X...swap barrel/slide with the gen5 19. There.....you're welcome!😉

"I've had mine for about 6 months but have used it almost every week in gameplay and testing. I have never had any issues with this gun or the magazine that comes with it. I also got some extra 19x magazines and they work flawlessly in this gun. Overall I recommend it to anybody looking for a reliable green gas pistol. It goes bang every time.

"Elite Force Fully Licensed GLOCK 19 Gen.5 Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol Review

The Elite Force GLOCK 19 Gen.5 Gas Blowback pistol is a well-crafted, officially licensed airsoft replica of the iconic GLOCK 19. After two months of ownership, I’ve had some mixed experiences that other potential buyers should know about.

Build Quality and Design
The pistol is a fantastic replica, capturing the aesthetics and ergonomics of the Gen.5 GLOCK 19. The polymer frame feels durable, and the metal slide adds a realistic heft to the gun. The build quality is solid, and the texturing on the grip provides excellent handling.

Performance
Straight out of the box, the gun shoots slightly low but can still consistently group around 1 inch at 3 yards. This level of accuracy is decent for a sidearm, especially at close-range engagements. The blowback action delivers a satisfying and solid recoil, making it feel immersive and realistic during use.

Conceal Carry Training
I primarily use this airsoft pistol for concealed carry training, and its compact size and realistic design make it an excellent training tool. It replicates the feel and handling of a real GLOCK 19 Gen.5, allowing me to practice holster draws, target acquisition, and trigger discipline in a safe and controlled environment. However, the slightly low shooting and magazine reliability issues do detract from the overall experience.

Reliability Issues
Unfortunately, the magazine began to leak after about two months of regular use. This is a common issue with many green gas magazines, but it’s still disappointing given the price point of this product. While silicone oil and o-rings might temporarily resolve the problem, it’s not a permanent fix and could lead to the need for a replacement magazine.

Gas Efficiency
The gas efficiency of this pistol is average. One fill is enough for around one to two magazines, depending on the temperature and shooting conditions. While not stellar, this is in line with most gas blowback pistols of this type.

Value for Money
While the Elite Force GLOCK 19 Gen.5 excels in its realistic design and satisfying performance, the magazine issue is a significant downside. It’s hard to overlook the fact that a core component of the gun didn’t hold up for more than a couple of months without additional maintenance or replacement. Additionally, I think it is more expensive than a solid competitor like the Staccato P, which offers superior build quality and better out-of-box reliability for a better price.

Pros:

Authentic GLOCK design with excellent build quality.
Realistic blowback action with solid recoil.
Good close-range accuracy (1-inch grouping at 3 yards).
Excellent training tool for concealed carry practice.
Cons:

The magazine developed a gas leak after 2 months.
Shoots slightly low out of the box.
Average gas efficiency.
More expensive than some higher-quality alternatives.

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

The Elite Force GLOCK 19 Gen.5 is a good choice for casual airsoft players or collectors seeking a realistic GLOCK replica. Its size and feel make it an excellent option for concealed carry training, but the durability of the magazine and its higher price point make it less attractive when compared to competitors like the Staccato P. Be prepared for some maintenance or additional costs if you’re planning to use this pistol frequently.
