Tokyo Marui Glock 17

The Tokyo Marui Glock 17 is one very popular Airsoft pistol. It’s an impressive and very accurate replica of the more recent Glock 17 3rd Generation 9mm handgun, which features added finger grooves to the front strap, thumb relief’s on the sides of the pistol grip and a universal rail added to the dustcover. All these features have been accurately recreated by Tokyo Marui, making this replica very nice looking, comfortable and easy to use. The gun has High quality construction and pretty reliable internals. There is not a lot of metal in a real Glock and the only external parts which are metal are the slide lock and the recoil rod. Fortunately, since the gas guns lead harder lives than their springers, from TM decided to reinforce the frame and slide with some metal. The gun features the familiar two part trigger which is fully operational, requiring you to pull the centre section to actually fire the gun. One thing Tokyo Marui added that is not present on the real Glock is a safety, which locks the trigger by the simple action of moving the serial number plate under the frame towards the trigger guard. Performance-wise the gun is pretty good, too. It’s really accurate and very powerful. It’s also very efficient. Taking down and maintenance are an easy job. Here are some specifications:

Weight: 703g (with Empty Magazine)
Length: 186 mm
Barrel Length: 97 mm
Magazine Capacity: 25 + 1 (chamber)
Adjustable Hop-up: Yes

You can get the gun for about £90 which is not too bad considering the level of performance of this gun. Even though it looks a little dull I’m sure you will absolutely love it if you decide to get it. If you’re gonna be choosing between the TM Glock 17 and the KSC one, go with the TM without any hesitation. It is simply better.
