Glock 17 Gen.5 6 mm is a licensed ASG replica of the Austrian semi-automatic pistol based on a modern polymer frame. The model features faithful reproduction of the firearm original, a metal slide with a realistic Blow-Back system, Green Gas power supply, and good ergonomics. The presented version is a full-size pistol in black.
The Glock 17 Gen.5 construction has been made with special attention to design details. It is based on a polymer frame with a metal slide mounted on it. The manufacturer ensured that not only the appearance but also the operation of the replica mechanisms closely resemble the original. The model works well as a sidearm.
The model is powered by Green Gas from a reservoir integrated into the magazine inserted into the grip. Gas operation enables semi-automatic fire and the use of a strong Blow-Back system. Additionally, the installed Hop-Up system is responsible for BB backspin and stable flight. It should be remembered that the number of shots depends on air temperature, shooting dynamics, and proper maintenance. After shooting, it is recommended to leave a small amount of gas in the magazine.
The replica features a Blow-Back system, responsible for realistic slide recoil after each shot. The noticeable “kick” imitates the effect of firing a real firearm. After the last BB is fired, the slide locks in the rear position.
The model uses a Single Action trigger mechanism, characterized by a short trigger travel before the shot and low trigger pull resistance. After racking the slide and firing the first shot, the firing mechanism is automatically cocked by the recoiling slide. The main advantages of this solution are simple construction and the ability to deliver precise shots without the risk of trigger jerk.
The Glock features mechanical sighting devices, including a fixed front sight and rear sight with white dots for easier alignment. Additionally, a Picatinny 22 mm mounting rail is located on the frame under the barrel. It allows installation of a laser aiming device, flashlight etc.
The pistol has an automatic trigger safety in the form of an additional lever integrated into the trigger. The replica uses a magazine inserted into the grip with a capacity of 22 BBs.
