Umarex Glock 17 gen 4 CO2 availability

[Josie & John]

I too have been eagerly anticipating the pellet firing Glock 17 and settled for a BB firing blowback 17 at Kempton with the intention of upgrading when the pellet firer eventually appears.

Actually, the pistol is not too bad. It shoots copper coated lead flawlessly as well as the new frangible Dust Devils. It also shoots to point of aim, despite the trigger, which I am less impressed with. It almost feels like pulling an SUV over a barricade!

A very good effort though by Umarex: almost 100% Glock branding on the box and the pistol does not have any of those white warnings that are a pet hate of mine.

I'll probably settle for an old school pellet firing 17, which will give me an excuse to keep the BB version.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I am going to poke my local dealer again ...

I tried the Umarex CO₂ blowback metal BB version a week or so ago - trigger handles much like that on a real Glock.

I have the Glock 17 blowback to test from Rothery's and agree with the statements above.

Good sharp blowback too though

Does the blowback version have a full size mag, or a stick mag?

Full size magazine.

Just had a call from the gun shop. The gen 4 arrived this morning and I will be collecting it later.
