Elite Force Fully Licensed GLOCK 17 Gen.3 Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol (Type: Green Gas)

"Incredible replica of the Glock 17. It has phenomenal kick and feels great along with having a great mag to go with it. This gun is just pure fun and worth the extra money!

"I've been collecting and buying Airsoft/Airguns since 2015. I've had quite a few guns in my collection that I've used, and some that I don't use that often, that I just put out on my wall hall of fame for show in my shop. In total, 40 guns in all. From SMG's, Sniper rifles, and pistols, all are Green Gas , or Co2 gas blowback guns. I have no AEG's in my collection, nor do I own any, simply because I'm not a fan of an electric gun. If your like me, Being a huge fan of Gas BB guns, You know that it can or may come with a cost. They are much more finicky, and have probably more problems that AEG's, because of the strong , gas blowback action & moving parts, not to mention, that the manufacturing of these guns where internal parts should be steel, are not. Their either plastic, or pewter, cheap cheap metals forged in the cheapest way, this causes problems....none the less, they are much more realistic in feel, and much more fun in a big way.

Anyways, I purchased the Umarex Glock 17 gen 3 Airsoft gun for $170 bucks, which I thought was kind of pricey, however after using this pistol, My money was well spent. I have not had one single problem with this gun in 6 months of owning it. Glocks have a tendency to have slide issues. They tend to jam, or double feed, or the slide after heavy game use, gets sticky and starts to malfunction by not completing a full cycle in its blowback action, even after a good lube. I've had almost all of my Glocks do this. But....the 17 gen 3, unlike its Airgun .177 predecessor, is quiet, and doesn't have that tin like rattle when you shake it. Its slide is perfectly smooth. It has that great realistic sound when you pull the slide back to cock the gun. It fires at a beautiful rate, as fast as you can pull that trigger, it'll shoot, with ease, with no jamming, and with no problems whatsoever. This has been hands down the best Glock yet Umarex has put out. The "smooth" slide has got to be the highlight of this gun. It has a great "hopup" and its accuracy is absolutely amazing. This has got to be the best, along with the gen 4,, the very best in Glocks manufacturing of these pistols. Both the Airsoft and Airgun Glocks are made with superiority.

If you looking for a Glock, or a pistol for that matter, FOR gaming, or backyard plinking, (sorry, this gun cant be used for pest control) then this is the one for you, with its reliability, and outstanding gas efficiency, THIS IS THE ONE!. I even bought the 50 round magazine for this gun, and it shoots 100 shots easy, before I need a refill. 5 stars for the Umarex Glock 17 gen 3 Airsoft gun!!!!!!

"This gun is AMAZING! If your a fan of a GLOCK. Now for me when you first get the gun, you might need to put some lubricant on the parts the slide is sliding on. I got the carry bundle, and my only problem is they sent me a GLOCK 19 Holster with a GLOCK 17, the holster fits my Half Blowback GLOCK 17 but it’s too snug to draw with one hand, you would need to hold the holster down as you draw the gun.

*Always keep in mind that with the Co2, you have a slight chance the kick of Co2 can damage some parts far in the future*

Gun is pretty accurate out of the box, but does need to break in


Pros:
•GLOCK
•Nice feeling to it, kick is decent
•You get a little more than what you pay for, even better on sale
•great replica of my GLOCK 17, so don’t be walking around with this, especially without the orange tip
Cons:
•EVIKE sent me a GLOCK 19 holster
•Needs some lubrication out of the box
•I don’t know if it’s the gun itself or the particular one I got, but the slide sometimes gets caught on something(only when slowly releasing the slide

Great gun to get you going on the field(indoor) just need a belt and face protection and proper gas&bb’s

"This was my first airsoft gun purchase and to say I'm pleased with the product is an understatement.

Right out of the box, the handgun feels great. There was excess lube all over the slide, but that's to be expected; Nothing a couple minutes and some paper towels can't handle. Inside the box itself came with the handgun, 1 magazine (already inserted), and 3 extra o-rings for the magazine tucked inside the manual.

My only "real" issue with this product specifically is the trigger reset. It is noticeably more squishy than compared a real gen. 3 Glock 17 and there is no "wall" on my product, but the internals are clearly not designed like the real firearm so it is something I can live with.

One of the best features about this gun is how precisely it is built compared to the real firearm. I have a Safariland 7365 for my real gen. 3 Glock 17 with an Olight PL-2 Valkyrie. I'm very surprised that when I mounted the Olight onto the airsoft Glock, it fit nearly perfectly into the holster (there is a tiny, and I mean VERY tiny amount of wiggle room compared to the real firearm, but it's negligible unless you're being super picky).

There are other small complaints I have about this product that pertain to (what I assume is...) quality control issues. There seemed to be some grit in the slide when I first racked it, so I had to takedown the gun to thoroughly clean it... Which on that note, the takedown levers were incredibly stubborn so I had to give the slide some extra oomf to get it off. Lastly, the orange tip on the end of the barrel already had 3 cracks going alongside it. So even IF I wanted to get a clean removal of the orange tip, that looks like a no-go as of now.


Pro's:
- Solid build quality
- Fits holster designed for real gen. 3 Glock 17
- Feels nice in hands
- Seems like it will fit holster designed for the real firearm

Con's:
- Squishy trigger
- Possibility of minor quality control issues
