If you’re looking for a full-sized, 9mm Glock replica to take to the field then you’re probably learning towards the granddaddy of them all, the Glock 17.Īnd if that’s the case, then you’ll probably want to check out the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5, their latest take on the G17. They also tend to have those well-known Glock low-profile/white outlined sights that, although usually fixed, do make it easy to get a bead on low-contrast targets or those hanging around in low-light conditions. They are lightweight, easy to maneuver around with and often come with nice grips and/or finger grooves that let you get a solid hold of them even when things get a little wet or when wearing gloves. Glocks are actually supposed to be pretty comfortable to hold. While fixed hop ups are common in cheaper airsoft pistols *and will do in a pinch), we strongly prefer those with adjustable hop ups, which can go a long way in keeping things accurate at distance. It should go without saying that an airsoft Glock should actually be able to hit something past 30 feet (10 m), so a good hop up is necessary. In our opinion a good airsoft Glock should be powerful enough to be used in outdoor games if necessary but should also be indoor and CQB-legal.Īs a result, we tend to look for those in the 300-350 FPS range, which should slide comfortably under nearly all field restrictions. This can be especially true of airsoft Glocks, where many users are attracted to them due to their popularity with police and military forces as backups. Sure, we all love a good high FPS blaster, but airsoft pistols are often used as a secondary option or even a primary in CQB or indoor games. Power is a tricky thing when it comes to airsoft pistols. While this shouldn’t exactly be a high bar to meet, given that many airsoft guns out combine the use of reinforced polymer and metal, there are some models that (for one reason or another) include plastic slides on plastic frames.

While we normally like to see full metal airsoft builds, particularly when it comes to gas pistols, it is important in this case to replicate the original construction as much as possible and so we prefer to see our airsoft Glocks made of strong plastic frames and some at least kind of durable aluminum slide. Glock pistols became famous largely due to their (at the time) modern and forward thinking construction, combining nylon-reinforced Polymer 2 frames that reduced their weight with traditional steel barrels and slides. When it comes to airsoft at least, many times these physical differences are what separate one Glock from another (the internals between replica models being very similar) and so they are something we tend to be a little more picky about than with other real steel firearms. Similarly, there are over 50 different models of Glock out there and they tend to each have their own specific length, height and weight. Their streamlined and boxy modern shape, low profile sights and wide-set slide serrations are all classic hallmarks and are things that we want to see reproduced in our airsoft replicas.
Love them or hate them, by and large Glocks tend to have a pretty distinct, boxy look to them that immediately mark them out (at least to those in the know) as a Glock.
