Umarex Glock 17 Gen5

Pellet rotary belt stopped working on day 1, ending the fun instantly, pistol still discharged CO2 but not pellets.

Pros
Very realistic to glock 17 firearm.

Cons
Stopped working after 1st magazine

Previous reviews reported very heavy trigger weight, due to the trigger itself advancing the pellet belt. At first I thought the piece must be defective , but after a hundred rounds the action has loosened up - still very heavy, but manageable. The mag holds 21 rounds in a heavy, solid configuration but loading is comically cumbersome. That's to be expected in these new designs which are essentially beta products; later models should improve with modifications. The Glock mechanism is more reliable than a similar design in the Sig Sauer 320 - as other users have reported that belt tends to bind up and jam and is a fatal design flaw. Mine is now so jammed that I can't extract the magazine even with brute force and there's no other way to get in there, so now it's only post-warranty purpose is to fill a slot in the gun rack. The Umarex Glock is hands down the better choice. The trigger does not promote much accuracy but that's a tradeoff most users will be okay with.

Pros
Identical in weight and heft to the original

Cons
Ammo feed mechanism - see below

Slide does not blow back with each shot and does not lock back when your magazine is empty. Make sure pellets are seated in well when loading magazine. One CO2 lasts about 3 reloads.

Pros
Very nice replica of the real glock 17. Nice weight and feel. Shoots nice groups when you get the hang of shooting it. Very quiet. Fun to shoot!!!

Cons
Trigger pull is very heavy. Magazine is difficult to load pellets. Shoots a little low.

Looks like a good trainer

Pros
Your delivery of this item was Good! I have not fully used the Glock 17 gen5 yet. Just took it out of the package and held it. I am impressed!

Cons
None so far

I couldnt get the Glock to work. Tried to return. Could not complete form would not access phone number to complete return form.

Pros
I do not have and a pinion.

Cons
I do not have and a pinion.

Very accurate – however takes some practice to achieve.

Pros
Great training for my Glock 10M, feels like the real thing.

Cons
Magazine needs to be better engineered, for less trigger strength and loading 2 pellets at a time are too time consuming.

Nice airgun

Pros
Grip on the hand is great

Cons
JAMMED AFTER FIRST PELLET. TWO JAMMED IN BARREL, BROKE BARRLE TRYING TO GET THE TWO PELLETS OUT

Would not fire, when I called was told that it has a very heavy trigger initially then will ease up after a few shots. I had to use both hands to pull the trigger and get the first shots then it just would not fire at all. The rotary loader in the magazine turns very hard, difficult to load. The safety is embedded flush in the bottom of the barrell and requires a small screwdriver to operate. I returned this gun for a full refund. Airgun Depot was very cooperative on this.

Pros
Good looking, good balance, a good idea but needs a lot more development.

I returned this and purchased a P320, and as much as the Glock 17 GEN five had a trigger pole force of 11 pounds or more. That is due to the fact that the action of pulling the trigger rotates a belt in the magazine, as well as fires the pellet. That was totally unacceptable because you cant achieve or at least I couldnt achieve real accuracy with such a hard trigger pull. In addition, I wanted to add a reflex site which I could not do because the rear sight is not removable. I returned it and bought a P320 ASP, which I’m very happy with, and does not have the two issues that I mentioned about the Glock.

Pros
I returned it. Trigger pro at 11 pounds plus it’s excessive and the rear sight is not removable.

Cons
Seems very well-made.

Pros
Looks good, feels good

Cons
The trigger pull is ridiculously hard, absolutely thinking of returning it
