Glock 17 Gen5 by Umarex / VFC

The Umarex Glock 17 Gen5 is a faithful airsoft replica of one of the most iconic modern pistols. In cooperation with VFC, Umarex has created a precise CO2-powered gas blowback pistol that combines realism, performance, and reliability. The polymer frame and metal slide with authentic GLOCK markings give the pistol a realistic look and strong durability. The pistol features a short slide travel (compared to the Green Gas version), which improves gas efficiency, allowing more shots per 12g CO2 cartridge. The blowback effect is milder because the slide moves only to chamber the next BB.
With a velocity of up to 110 m/s and a fixed hop-up system, it delivers consistent trajectory even at longer distances.
The pistol is equipped with a trigger safety and a manual safety below the barrel. Compact size, accuracy, and reliability make the G17 Gen5 ideal as a secondary or primary CQB weapon.

What’s new in Generation 5?

• Fully ambidextrous controls (slide release and reversible magazine catch)
• Beveled slide front (similar to G26 Gen3/4)
• Finger grooves removed from the front grip
• New finish on the slide
• Slightly updated iron sights

Internal Components

The pistol is equipped with a high-quality Double Action trigger system for smooth operation without cocking. Inside, there's a fixed hop-up chamber with a VSR-compatible bucking to ensure consistent performance and accurate flight path. The 97 mm brass barrel adds to the overall precision and durability of the build.

External Construction

The polymer frame ensures low weight and comfortable handling, while the metal slide with authentic Glock markings enhances realism. The front of the frame features a single-slot RIS rail for attaching tactical accessories such as flashlights or lasers. This replica is fully compatible with standard Glock 17 holsters, making it a great option for training or reenacting.
