Umarex Glock 17 gen 4 CO2 availability

[rockdrill]

I bought a dual ammo Gen 3 yesterday and a BB Gen 4 in readiness for an Airgun World review.

Before I share my thoughts, I'd be interested in the views of anyone who has shot the dual ammo version, particularly in relation to the trigger.

Hi John,

My local dealer has just received stock of the Gen 4 BB Glock and the 'dual ammo' version, so I went in over the weekend and had a look at them.

The BB version is a very nice replica of the genuine item, whilst I was not able to try it with gas in, the trigger pull felt like a well tuned genuine Glock trigger, the non blowback Glock 19 has a trigger pull that is comparable to a standard Glock pistol.

I mentioned the comments on here relating to the 'dual ammo' version to my friend who works at the shop and he put a gas cylinder into a dual ammo model to try it out.

The trigger pull to rotate the mag is not too horrendous, but to get the damned thing to fire was ridiculously heavy, overall not impressed by the dual ammo and I will likely buy the BB Gen 4 as overall it is the better replica and any gain in accuracy the pellet model might have with its rifled barrel will almost certainly be lost with the horrendous trigger pull.

I agree.
The Umarex bb Glock is better than the dual ammo job.

Check out the Air Venturi ISSC M22 for another good co2 pistol.
Bought on a whim before My Glock and a real pocket rocket.
Not a Glock tho.

Just watched a video review of the M22,it looks to be well worth having!

It made me jump when I fired it!

Thanks for your input. The good news is the Gen 3 dual ammo trigger does wear in after 3-4 CO2 cylinders. I've yet to properly test the Gen 4 as the pistol I have keeps jamming, as does the spare mag. Hopefully it can get sorted soon.

Odd that you're having such a problem with the mags. I only have one but it performed just fine. I haven't fired mine again as the weather is just too cold to get any decent results so I can't comment on accuracy yet.

I've finally had a chance to shoot a Gen 4 after my original was replaced. The original magazine feed lips were too constricted, resulting in jams. The replacement works and has a liking for frangible Dust Devils.

Glad to hear you got it sorted. I still haven't given mine a good workout (retirement is just so busy ...).

Last time I looked Dust Devils weren't available in the UK. Where do you get them from?

Have a look on the Protek Supplies of Bognor Regis website. The shop has them in stock.

Kind regards,

Be aware that Dust Devils do not always disappear in a nice puff smoke!
They can and do bounce back whole or in pieces.
They are high speed and accurate tho.
