This guys voice should be used in nature narration. I love it
Yvs we cvs iready hipps innergård med den är
No he needs to be on grand tour
Makes him sound professional
Fr tho
I WAS JUST THINKING THAT LOL
I gotta say as an owner of a real steel Glock 17, this is pretty realistic to the actual function of a real firearm. Was never an airsoft person but I might get into it after seeing this video
this is a steel BB gun not airsoft, but either are a good tool for training
@@truthandleadership bb is better.
Would you say that its a great training implement since ammo prices are unbelievably high? I mean does the feel and handling translate to a real glock 17?
@@TheAcolyte01 I train with 22LR. You might consider the G44. I have a G17, but my EDC is a SIG P365. My training pistol is a Ruger SR22. You can get 22LR as low as .15/rnd. It's more fun to train with than greengas or co2. It also seems more simple, just get ammo and a gun. No finicking with gas and all the stuff that goes along with airsoft or BB. I also like going to the range. At some point I may get a BB blowback just to take shots while I watch TV. Most ranges will have the G44+ammo and will rent it out to try.
I also have a Glock 17, mine is a Gen 5. and have the Umarex 17. They are pretty close in comparison. The Umarex is a heck of a lot cheaper to shoot.

Can someone PLEASE tell me where to purchase this gun.. I have tried to go to Umarex.com but the site has no purchase options for this weapon. The gen4 glock 17
@@invisiblehatednotwantedforever Amazon, I bought mines from there a month ago (glock 17 gen 4 co2 bb gun umerex
Where can i get this Bb gun but in 6mm?
The barrel can be adjusted like setting up a sight, there’s a silver/grey screw on the barrel near the breach when the slide has been removed
I have the Glock 17 gen 3 it puts out the 385 FPS because it only has partial blowback instead of this one with full which requires more air 😉
I have to say, I wasn't expecting too much as I've never had an airsoft gun, but Andy's reviews helped guide me to this gen 4. Having a 9mm gen 5, the weight and feel of this Umarex airgun is awesome, it actually feels heavier than the real thing! It's a little more balanced in the grip area due to the metal mag, but the perception of quality is awesome. The metal mag is genuinely nicer than the actual plastic Glock mags. The full blowback and features make it an awesome practice tool for when I can't go to a range or a rural backyard. I'm thoroughly impressed by the job Umarex did!
Also that thing field strips pretty much exactly like a real Glock. The attention to detail on this, and similar models is honestly awesome
Andy, you are a great salesman. I kept watching videos on this one CO2 pistol and bought it. What I find so refreshing in your videos is you know what you are showing us. Like you went through it's manual. Why would I say that you may ask? I watched another "Reviewer" on this very same gun and he hadn't a clue how to remove that small cover at the bottom of the handle for inserting a CO2 cartridge. I sat here having a grand ole time as he went about his way of removing it. He did say the Manual was excellent so I wondered to myself why didn't he...READ IT FIRST before making fool of himself online. Getting back to you are your great videos, I enjoy them and will be waiting for any new videos from AAR On Air !!!
6:09 damn thats satisfying
The magazine release is also reversible for them leftys but the umarex/Elite Force/VFC Glock is probably the best "Glock" on the market to this day great video bud
All this time i thought he was using a real golck 17 smh🤣
Juvenile Delinquent ikkkk
it is 1-1
I swear I did too till he got to the CO2 part when he said BBs
Tell me about it :( :(
@@jackhenry290 Why? I don't feel the need to carry a gun to go to a shop. I also own full power rifles and shotguns because I hunt, so stop believing your ridiculous prejudiced views over what happens over here.
Brilliant review Andy. Bought one of these after watching, thank you👍
Quality content here! Thank you so much for the review, andy! Cheers from mexico!
Amazing and interesting channel... Thank you from Spain!
Thank you for making this video. I have real G22 Gen 4 with a 9mm barrel and needed a BB for home practice. I thought this was one I needed, but the magazine not dropping freely was a stopper for me. I went with a Umarex Glock 17 Gen 3. It was cheaper and felt close enough. I did notice the tinny sound, but was worth it for cheaper price and mags. I got mine because the G17 Gen3 mag drops freely and it helps with reload practices. All in it was $85 shipped to me. I picked up a 19X also hoping the magazine was reusable in my G17 Gen3.
The maganzine of the gen 4 is drop free
After waching many reviews this be the one that has the best all around quality I think.
Thanks for the great review, I'm looking forward to your SA10 revisit video.
i couldnt agree more about all the air gunners saying the first blowback was clanky and made poorly. i sent mine back but this i think i would get and stay in my collection.
thanks for the review!
Cheers Andy, another great video
You are the best Gun Apostle of the Church.
Thank you.
Far better than the last one in review. Thank god for that.
At the local store they sell a Glock gen 3 without blowback and I was excited to get one. Before making a decision to buy it or not I looked online and found your video and was surprised at how much more improved the gen 4 version is, and how many fun features it has. I went to an airsoft website and found the same BB gun from your review for only $50 more than the asking price of the gen 3 and made a purchase. Thanks for the great review of this BB gun. The one I ordered will show up in the mail next week.
So you got the gen4?
How is it? Well built?
I love Umarex, but it'd be nice if they could roll all the good bits into one Glock instead of having various models that do certain things better than others.
I'll still be picking up the Gen 4 though, as I'm a big fan of realistic looking and working pistols.
Thanks for the great review as usual
You will be very happy with the gen 4 ...i picked up a glock case and a spare mag and it looks the "dogs" accuracy not great but thats the only real down side.
Exactly I believe me I got that all my least favorite was the 17 gen 3 with its clunky slide and it's half cock blowback system. ..finally I got exited for this one and guess what they forgot to add the damn glock floor plate at the bottom of the magazine lmaooo 😂 I can only wonder if it was done on purpose
Buy a real Glock :).
@Munky Bidness No, most countries allow civilian firearm ownership.
PortaTheGamer .
Another great video Andy
Love my Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 powered by green gas. I love it and almost feels like having a real one. It's so identical to my dad's real G17 Gen 4. The slide was what gives it away and the authorized by Glock writing but yeah I had fun with it since my teenage years and still using it now for fun. Kids outside playing with springers and when I go out and play with it shooting cans, those kids goes crazy it's fun. I'm letting them try it too. It's the closest thing the kids will experience holding a real gun at this point of their lives. Just the smiles is so much fun
Great review, many thanks!!!
I saw on reddit that some people are having trouble with the screw cap going back on after inserting a CO2 canister, some have even completely stripped it trying to get it back on. You don't need force, the key is that it doesn't screw on flat, but at the angle of the mag, so the back will appear tilted down and the front will appear tilted up. Just use the wrench at the same angle as the mag and lightly spin it and it will grab.
Great review, thank you
Great review ,i actually purchased the m17 .177 pellet pistol based on one of your recent reviews and that in my opinion is the best co2 replica pistol on the market right now, back to the the gen4 glock ..accuracy is not great..but if you work with it you can get get results, but like you say its about "ownership" this thing is pretty dam near to the real thing in terms of feel and operation, if you are looking for more of a collectors piece then this is for you, great trigger that almost goes single action on reset , also the trigger will stay locked back if dry fired with no mag/empty mag (no c02)or locked back slide,the mags DO drop out when you press the mag release (not sure why you would release a mag side ways) . This gen4 model is a lot lot better than all the recently released umerex glocks including the pellet/bb version , that was a big disappointment as i really wanted the pellet version and i had both in hand ,also purchased the non blowback 19 and gen3 17..both sold on. if you want a good as realistic glock 17 gen 4(uk) then i don't think you will be disappointed ...but the sig m17 pellet..great pistol and very accurate.
Yup. Love the Sig M17. Shoots spot on!
And yes - this G17gen4 must be more of ownership. Nothing much really new in it. But looks and feels great.
Good video! Thanks from America
Andy thank you for your great review! May i ask you to please recommend me on a co2, blowback good target shooting pistol? Something realistic would be great too.
Thanks for your amazing work
Great video thanks
Great video. Thank you.
Enjoyable and genuinely critical reviews.
Very nice air pistol. Strong and accurate for my needs. Thanks for a good video.
I know how to fix the shooting low problem, the inner barrel is just floating around inside the outer barrel. So of you just put some electric tape in the end of the inner barrel. It works alot better, shoots where i aim!
Can you link a picture? I have this as well but not exactly sure where to put the tape
Just ordered one lastnight can’t wait for it to come
Thanks for the great review. You should narrate for TV shows like The Travel Channel or National Geographic or something like that
This video is absolutely amazing
Just finally got mine. Wouldn't shoot. Stripped it down and lubricated the gun internals, the magazine sliders and the CO2 screws. Now boy does it shoot! Love it! Got to get gun and mag holster now. :)
Just picked up another one of these today and pleased to confirm the magazine now has the GLOCK logo base plate.
I thought so! I just ordered mine today (along with a leather holster for training, and to protect against scratches, and a drop leg holster for open carrying the 9mm version of the G4 I have), and I was hesitant as the original review for this gun featured the baseplate, but the last two I've seen including Andy's didn't. I have a Beretta APX by Umarex as well (in addition to the brand new Ruger AirHawk Pellet - that gun is insane), and the Beretta does feature only half-blowback and a tinny slide. Very pleased to hear that the one I've just purchased is exactly what I'm looking for.
OK, I've picked one up. 😀 Build quality appears great; feel & handling excellent and, unusually for Umarex, mine at least appears to have been *lubricated* ! Absolutely a keeper.
Greetings from Turkey huge fan of your channel
I hope you own a Kral, excellent gun from your country.
ive just got the umerex glock 19 love it
Thanks for the video and full review. I was thinking about getting this BB gun for serious daily target practice.
I use a different BB gun regularly for target practice because it's trigger pull and general feel is a lot like my daily carry. I wanted a Glock replica mainly for the difference in trigger type.
Your review helped me decide that this model Umarex is a decent replica. However I do need better accuracy to spend over a hundred bucks for another BB gun. Thanks again for the review.
Bought 2
BB & multi (gen 4)
& I love them
Just shot this G17 gen4 yesterday for the first time.
Looks and feels good. Shoots okay - as all other BB pistols like this one. Shoots horizontally center - but waaaay low (as in this video). Not bad of a grouping though appears under the aimpoint. Used lots of co2. Only a bit over 60 shots - so probably 4 full mags totally..
The fit of the mag into the grip was nice and snug. Sweet that the follower is lockable down - although I do not really use that option myself while loading BBs. The follower spring is not too hard, but just perfect.
The slide sits really well on the lower receiver. Love the way they have done the guide rod+spring, barrel and inner barrel setup. All parts easily removed. Those pin locked inner barrels have been annoying to take apart (as on the HK USP and Colt M45 CQBP for example)..
Basically a decent BB replica pistol - even though shoots very low.
You can adjust the spin on the bb by adjustting a screw inside the slide. In the manual it says you can do this to reduce the low shooting
@@jorgeo1492 I think the backspin is more beneficial for airsoft BBs on longer ranges. My G17 shot 2-3 inches under bullseye from just 6 metres. No hop-up can rectify that.
Besides, I already rebuilt the inner barrel setup a long time ago. Is accurately on bullseye now
@@brorjordas1979 hey, could you perhaps explain what changes you made to it? Or maybe drop a link to a site that explains it. Thanks a lot!
@@VenomShadows305 I took completely off the original plastic shroud from the tip of the inner barrel. Added a few strips of electrical tape underneath the barrel, where the groove is. And around the inner barrel tip I put a slightly too large rubber o-ring. I then just filed the top part of the o-ring flatter so it lifts the inner barrel tip more upwards but also sits snug within the outer barrel.
It kinda is a trial and error thing. If shoots too high - then just do it again with less of inner barrel tip lift. But the original setup shot way too low and was just unforgivable.
Best air pistol to purchase that really packs a punch
I have the exact same problem with accuracy shooting well low, now the fixed slide G19 I have is much more powerful much better on gas, and superbly accurate But the G17 is great to look at but that’s all.
Your channel is superb…….. I’m guessing you deal with the guys at Justairguns…. They also have great customer service!!!!!! Keep those vids coming 👍👍
Great review, much better than mine. You nailed it on the gun Andy, my thoughts exactly, but i like mine much much more than you do lol. The safety is of no concern for me personally, but your defo right in your comments about this. As for the pellet version, i would say dont get your hopes up, it will have the tomo old fashioned magazine that is totally pants. TBH my accuracy was as good as any other air pistol i own (bb anyways) so it may be an individual gun problem. I still hold fast in what i have said, it is the best bb shooter i own, and most realistic i own too. This is a must have for any glock fan. I LOVE IT. Again ..... great review. (another ) > Andy, UK.
I'm about to collect this exact one from, a shop in Bristol. I haven't had a plinker since my CP88 1999/2000 looking forward to it and I'm just glad it's not an 8 shotter 19 shots seems like a dream to me! Haha.
I'm so old, I was only aware of the brands Crossman and Daisy until now.
Try lubing the magazine by the bb slot it will lube the the chamber pump it will shoot better. Always lube your gun this gun works great just lube every reload
Is there an extended mag available?, I can only find them for the air soft versions
I have one and would like to know how to switch the Mag release and also I've purchased a laser to attach but cant or dont know how to adjust the light correctly. Any insight., thank you
As something to include in the reviews of any air pistol that has the simulated "blow back"/recoil, can you include a quick look at how much the barrel moves around relative to the sites on the slide? It would be a good indicator if the thing can be accurate, and for the small sample I have shot, has been horrendous. For some, an air pistol that can at best shoot a 2 inch group at 25 ft is useless as a tool to practice with at home.
Damn that looks so real,wow!
Awsome channel Andy an excellent reviews,
but when you've fired your last shot and the slide has locked to the rear, check theres no rounds left in the chamber, you then take the mag out first then let the slide go forward and fire off the action, not the other way round 👍
hi Andy
does the hop-up have any effect?
would it help to mount a different rear sight to adjust the aim/hit point so the gun won't shoot low anymore?
thanks & greetings mike
I wish they did a good FPS Glock. I want one, even for £200'ish but it needs that higher FPS.
I just got the m&p 40 umerex co2. Its nice. This will be my next one.
Same situation with me
I finally got mine today.
After literally scanning the entire planet and checking the inventory of every air gun store on the internet, I finally found it at Amazon.
And no, I'm not shamelessly plugging for Amazon, I'm mentioning where I got it to hopefully help people out who may be looking for it as I was.
From what I understand, this particular model is in very high demand.
I've seen these things on Ebay for over $500 bucks and used!
And as badly as I wanted one, I managed to keep myself in check and not dare spend that much...especially on something that's used.
As you say in your review Andy, it's very well made and very sturdy.
I have a Umarex Glock 17 Gen 3, a Umarex Glock 19x, and a Umarex Glock 19.
Out of all of them, this is definitely the best.
I haven't gotten it outside yet to test its accuracy, but I'm keeping my expectations realistic and hoping for the best!
I loved this review...thanks Andy, your doing a great service for guys like me.
Update us bro
I presume that is US Amazon. That wouldn't be allowed in the UK.
I have one these on order for my son , i have to admit the first few minutes of you video i thought i had screwed up
but all and all it sounds like you approve of the Gen. 4
just ordered it
Looking at all the Glock Air guns and your great I have to say, reviews, the 4th gen 17 looks the best, as its field stripable and has a stunning mag. I have one and love it
Please make a video on best spring operated blow back guns
Not sure if u reply on old vids but could u do a video on some attachments on the flocks
The barrel can be adjusted like setting up a sight, there’s a silver/grey screw on the barrel near the breach when the slide has been removed
Never heard of that. Is there a video on it?
I bought one of these on the day they came out in the UK (I'm a big Glock fan so have been waiting for this for a while). I think this is about as close as you can hope for to a real Glock 17 with current CO2 tech. It feels pretty nicely made and as Andy says does have a good weight to it, and the recoil is really nice for a CO2. Obviously not close to a real pistol, but again, probably as close as you'll get.
The "flaws" with the gun are mainly down to the design of the original (ie the infamous safety), and generally you either buy into the Glock design or you dont.
I'd also say mine shoots pretty damn accurately out of the box at around 7m - certainly not low.
My one gripe is the price. Whilst it does feel well made, I wouldn't say it feels any better made than my Cyberguns P226, which was around £40 less!
I'd also love to have seen something like the shell ejection system in the new Winchester rifle make its way into these, but I'm guessing that's a way off yet due to the limits of space etc in pistols.
I think Andy is bang on the money. This gun is all about the realism. If you want a faithful replica, that's fun to shoot, and you like Glocks, you wont be dissapointed.
Just wish it was a little bit cheaper!
Good points. I think we are paying for the deal Umarex made with glock. That branded glock name licensed out bumped the price up. Also they were due to be released with laser engraving, but fortunately they heeded the advice of gun fans and shipped the slides back to Germany after assembly for CNC engraving (thank god). Love mine, but have to disagree about it being the same quality as the p226 (which i also own). A lot better imo. Enjoy, cheers, Andy.
This gun is unique in that it uses the same lower as my real glock 17 only difference is two holes drilled to except the co2 conversion when i saw this i was amazed that they were sold because you can buy these with no FFL and you can go to glock and buy a trigger group and a completed slide with no FFL shipped right to your door pop out all the pins drop out the co2 parts drop in the new trigger group pop on the new slide wala working glock 17 and now the left has a gun problem so when they do come to the us its gona be interesting...
@@andyakarudolfhessiansack7936 A quick update a few months in. Andy, you're right, the quality is definitely better than the P226! After a few months the P226 was showing some wear and odd bits of paint had started to rub off.
The Glock is still pretty much as it was when it came out of the box - and it gets A LOT of use ;)
I pretty much only shoot this now as its so satisfying.
@@marksteen5470 yes buddy!!!! Great to hear.
This video was published on my birthday.
I have the gen3 glock 19 and I just ordered the glock 17 gen4 yesterday. I'm super excited, especially since my Blackhawk holster and accessory rail flashlight will go on it..
Joshua Rivera - where did you order your Glock, Gen 4?
Have you already done a review of the Smith & Wesson M&P 40 by Umarex?
Do love the channel, keep up the good work.
fe Desulme ; yes I have reviewed the m&p 40, excellent gun very realistic. 👍 thank you for watching.
@@AAROnair How do you think these two guns compare? I feel like they have an equivalent offering.
Hello Mike - You have tested both the the gas and co2 versions of the 17 Gen 4 but have you tested the 17 Gen 4 4.5mm BB version? Which is your favourite 17 Gen 4?
Gotta adjust that hop-up to make it more accurate
What about making an upgrade to the barrel to make it more accurate? Would it be a good choice?
Love your reviews and look forward to watching them all on ANY type of gun that you review.
When purchasing one of these is it classed as an airsoft gun and subsequently painted Day-Glo colours by the retailer or am I being naive or stupid or both, this would be my first BB I'm usually a pcp rifle guy.
6mm is airsoft, this is still Airguns 4.5mm (.177)
@@AAROnair thank-you for your response and for the clarification 👍
Best replicated c02 glock by far. the handling for me is tops . 👍
Really hope this gets released here in the US soon!
It is
@@TheSwiftieTTPD where can I get it?
@@jaredrodriguez7167 local store, airgun depot, amazon or others
Where can I find the barrel that sits flush with the gun similar to the one in the video
The stock sights are actually windage adjustable and removable! I've bought an OEM adjustable sight by Glock to correct for the low point of impact and it works wonders. There's a screw under the rear sight that just has to be loosened up a little
Ooh, interesting - where did you get the aftermarket sights?
@@asystole_ got it online from a Spanish gun shop called TopGun and it cost me about 25€ with shipping included
Hi iam interested for adjustable sights because iam very disappointed about accuracy of this pistol. Can sent the link for the shop to buy the sights. Thanks
@@petrosrouvim6979 hi there, this isn't a pistol you buy for accuracy but just Google for Glock OEM adjustable sight and you should find local shops selling them. I think that UA-cam doesn't allow for links in the comments anyway
tactical lights making safety unusable isn't a problem, real glocks don't have manual safeties.
also slide coming off forwards is how every handgun is taken down
Have you got any FX Airgun reviews coming up? They are fantastic bits of kit and it would be good to see your review of something like the Impact
Would like too see a review of the new " Dreamline " in a couple of it's guise's .. INDEED ..! .. I'd like to SEE a Dreamline , full stop , ..they were launched in march ..not a sign of them in England yet .. what's going on ??? ..mind ya , I had too wait a good 6 months for my brocock bantam sniper hr AFTER it was launched ... JESUS !!
I think that it is perfect. I would like to have another bb pistol , but I have not seen anything to compare. What would you recommend?
is there a better bucking / hop up chamber than the default one?
Where did you get this? Seems like they're not available yet on any us websites
Damn. Just bought a gen 3 and feel buyers remorse
This man gives me big Top Gear host vibes.
Are there any handguns that shoot pellets, and with subsonic velocity? Another thing I'm interested in; is the CO2 machine guns that shoot pellets at sonic and/or super sonic velocities?
Four inches low at 8-10 metres? Mine too. Field strip. Take out inner brass barrel assembly and turn the plastic, shouldered split collet back to front. This lets the rubber mounted barrel move within the outer barrel. Not a tack driver but will scare the bullseye of a paper target rather nicely. Very ammo sensitive. Brand new unused Umarex bb's only.
Do the BBs fall out the barrel when cocked or is there a magnet somewhere stopping this ?
Do you have a link for the glock 17 gen 4 with a silencer application? By any chance.
Do the co2 cartridges have to be treaded or non-threaded?
my G19 non-blow back runs 420 or there abouts, so some FPS being lost in blowback feature most like.
Yes. The non-blowbacks do shoot harder.
These blowback airguns can be very sloppy in worst case.
I own Umarex H&K USP with blowback and without. Both shoot great on target. But. The non-blowback shoots up too 170 BBs with one co2 cartridge - and hard.
420. Nice
@@brorjordas1979 what abt blowback in one cartridge
@@abyss7378 The blowback USP shoots about 60 good shots with one cartridge. But I have been all good with that. Around 60 is quite a common number of shots on blowback replicas that have the rubber lip gas port on top off the magazine, as on the blowback USP, and many others.
The blowback pistols with a magazine like in the Glock 17 gen3, Glock 19X, HK VP9 and ISSC M22 can give you up to at least 80 good shots even. My own HK VP9 just recently gave me 80 good shots.
@@brorjordas1979 I'm all new to this and I'm not sure about buying one because the guns are quite expensive so do u have any recommendations considering the price?
Can I use the Glock 17 BBs version magazine on this Glock 17 Gen 4?
Another great video Andy. Take care and happy shooting my friend. Regards Rune
Thank you my friend. Who is the ugly guy at the start of your latest video 😉😀. Keep well.
Hahaha. Thanks for the video clips. i will make you some to ;) Take care and happy shooting my friend. Regards Rune @@AAROnair
I look forward to getting them. Take care.
I have a question I just ordered it after I turn off safety on the pull I just pull it back then it’s ready to shot?
Holy crap I had no idea umarex had so many offerings. Any ideas why we can't get these in the states?
IS the magazine included and can you possibly send a link from whered you purchased it from?
Would I be able to convert this to 6mm green gas airsoft gun by changing inner barrel, recoil spring and mag? Or what parts would need changing?
I want to buy my first blowback co2 pistol but am not sure what to go for. The most important thing is for it to be powerful. Any recommendations?
they all have the safty underneith
