Do you mean the dual ammo version?
I have one on pre-order and am told a few may trickle through this year, but otherwise they will be available early 2019.
Anyone know when this might appear in the UK?
My local gun shop has been told "next month" for the last six months.

I thought it was BB only.
I have just tested a Umarex SA9 and was impressed with it. A lot of these C02 copies are heavier than the real pistols, but this one feels nice in the hand, and was spitting the bb's out at 380 fps in cold weather.

Ive been told by a German retailer they are due end of february...
That's blown my Xmas present then
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 have the Glock 17 blowback to test from Rothery's and agree with the statements above.
Good sharp blowback too though
BE-HAPPY-OK
Does the blowback version have a full size mag, or a stick mag?
