The Umarex Glock 17 Gen5 .177 Pellet Pistol is a solid option for those who want to practice shooting or enjoy recreational plinking without the cost and restrictions associated with the real firearm. This air pistol offers some notable upgrades over previous models, including the switch from smoothbore to a rifled barrel, which provides better accuracy with pellets.
Rifled Barrel
Unlike earlier models that shot only steel BBs, the Gen5 uses a rifled barrel that shoots pellets. This makes it more accurate, especially at shorter ranges, compared to its BB-shooting counterparts.
Realistic Build and Handling
- Polymer frame with a full-metal slide gives the airgun a realistic feel.
- Blowback action simulates recoil for a more immersive experience.
- Ergonomic grip and texture mimic the feel of the actual Glock 17 Gen5, with the same styling and Glock logo placement.
Magazine System
- Features a belt-fed magazine holding 20 rounds, which reduces downtime when reloading.
- Uses 12-gram CO2 cartridges to power the airgun, providing consistent performance with speeds up to 350 fps.
Functional Sights and Rail
- Comes with a fixed rear notch sight and fixed front post sight for straightforward aiming.
- Weaver rail under the barrel allows for easy attachment of accessories like lasers or tactical lights.
Advantages for Training and Plinking
Because it looks and feels almost identical to the real Glock 17 Gen5, this airgun serves as a cost-effective way to train for the firearm version. Muscle memory and grip mechanics stay consistent between both versions.
The improved pellet-firing accuracy makes it better suited for those who prefer precision shooting or want to hone their skills on targets.
If you're looking for an airgun that offers a near-identical shooting experience to the real Glock 17, the Umarex .177 Pellet Pistol is an excellent choice. For airgun enthusiasts or anyone seeking a realistic air pistol, get yours today at Palm Beach Airguns.
