Glock 17 French Edition is a licensed 6 mm ASG replica of an 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, and high ergonomics. The presented version is a full-size pistol in coyote/black color.
The Glock 17 French Edition has been manufactured with special attention to structural details. It is a full-size version based on a polymer frame fitted with a metal slide. The manufacturer ensured that not only the appearance but also the operation of the mechanisms closely replicates the original firearm. The model performs well as a sidearm. The French Edition was specially designed for the French Army and features a Coyote-colored frame as well as a lanyard loop.
The model is powered by Green Gas stored in a tank integrated into the magazine inserted into the grip. Gas operation allows the use of a powerful Blow-Back system. The noticeable “kick” pleasantly mimics the effect of firing a real firearm. Additionally, the installed Hop-Up system is responsible for BB spin and stable flight. The fired BB reaches a velocity of approximately 300 FPS.
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 remains locked in the rear position.
The model uses a Single Action (SA) trigger mechanism characterized by short travel before the shot breaks and a light trigger pull. After racking the slide and firing the first shot, the firing mechanism is automatically cocked by the reciprocating slide. The advantage of this solution is its simple design and the ability to deliver precise shots without the risk of pulling off target.
The pistol features mechanical sights consisting of fixed front and rear sights with three white dots for easier alignment. Additionally, the frame under the barrel includes a Picatinny 22 mm rail allowing installation of a laser aiming module, flashlight, etc.
The pistol is equipped with an automatic trigger safety in the form of an additional lever integrated into the trigger. The replica uses a metal grip-inserted magazine with a capacity of 22 BBs.
