We’re busy at the moment updating all the G-SERIES models in the Red Cell Test Pool ready to update that category for the next issue of AA; some of these have been with us for a LONG time, but are still banging away nicely… don’t worry, we’ll have a lot more detail on performance of the individual models soon!
The UMAREX G17 though (spoiler!) is still performing flawlessly, so we’re very pleased to see that a new GEN5 version is now available in TUNGSTEN GREY, and it looks super-cool! UMAREX say;
“During match shooting the CO₂-operated airsoft version of the GLOCK 17 Gen5 shows its similarity to the original. The Gen5-typical features include front serrations, a Weaver rail and a trigger safety. The heavy metal slide and powerful blowback provide an authentic experience.
Every shot fired from the 14-round All-in-One magazine produces a convincing recoil. The precise dimensions and realistic weight ensure perfect handling and full compatibility with standard accessories like holsters.
The polymer frame, in tungsten grey, creates an interesting contrast with the black slide and functional elements. This makes the GLOCK 17 Gen5 a highlight on the airsoft field for its looks alone.”
We’ve been testing the GEN5 as well as our other G-SERIES pistols so if you want to find out just how it’s performing be sure to check in with ISSUE 162 on 15 MAY!
