Axiis ZA I hope you’ve finally noticed that airsoft is for wimps who hide under their moms arm because airgunning is “too dangerous for those little babies”
@@tristanphillips3639 there's nothing weird about the Gen 5 magazine they went back to the Gen 3 magazine. Which is easier to load CO2 and BB's. The Gen 4 is only more realistic but not as functional.
Hi Andy, Another great review. I purchased the Gen 4 about three months ago & am very glad I did. It's no tack driver but is OK for back yard plinking. Actually this BB gun was purchased as a safe training aide for my three high school to young adult nieces. For that purpose I have found nothing better that the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 BB pistol. My main difficulty with this replica has been getting the threads started straight when loading the CO2 cartridge into the magazine. Sometimes I get lucky & the threads line up the first time but usually I must try several times & also makes sure I don't get frustrated & force the issue. Thanks for your good humor & that Great British accent, Larry
I love the way the gen 4 is the co2 at the bottom and u can’t see it is perfect it really takes the form of the real Glock where u can’t see the co2 cartridge making it look like the real deal
Thanks for another great review Andy. Umarex seem to have consistently got 90% there but failed to produce a glock that doesn't have some glaring issues (gen 4 excepted). That slide though! Even merely touch the pistol and it's someone is flicking an empty can. How can Umarex or Glock be happy with that!
Too be honest, I felt they thought they needed to make a gen 5, but realized they already had a winner with the gen 4 and didn't want to produce the same thing again at additional cost. What would've happened was another gen 4 just with a new design on the slide(the rounded bits). They should've just stopped with gen 4 and if they wanted to make another glock, just do another model besides the 17.
Bought the Gen 4 after seeing this. Very happy with it. In Canada it comes with the Glock plate/cover on the bottom of the mag. Also purchased an Orpaz level 2 retention holster. LOTS of fun.
Same here! Used to own airguns years ago but thinking of getting back into the hobby but damned if I can decide what to buy there is so much to choose from. Ideally I would want a c02, blowback with slide lock on empty, pellet firing, field strippable, decent replica pistol. Any ideas from your binge watching which would fit the bill?
I heard that the version with the safety feature is not the Glock liscened version. There is a gen 5 version that is fully liscensed and is field strip-able
For me the Glock 17 gen 4 ( 6 mm ) using CO2 is the best replica from the Glock 17 platform. I just bought it yesterday and it REALLY feels like a real firearm. It has everything apart from using real ammunition and the fire going off the barrel when it shoots.
Ha! That slide on the gen5 burned my eyes immediately I saw it.😂 But I did though already know which magazine system it uses and that it is not manufactured by KWC as the gen4. Got the gen4 myself. Love it for being a well made replica. The accuracy had to be fixed on it though - because mine shot also very low (approx 7cm low from a 6 meter distance) as it were. Knew that the gen5 was to win the "Joule competition" between these two. Own the ISSC M22 and the UX HK VP9 from before - both sporting this same type of magazine that the gen5 has. And they do shoot harder than the plastic lip magazines do because of being so co2 efficient. My ISSC M22 actually even blew it's firing pin out because of the hard recoil. But the VP9 is my favorite so far. The VP9's slide does not wiggle around as on the M22 and this G17 gen5.. Personally not a Glock fan myself and I only got the gen4 and the pellet shooting gen3 Glocks.
@MachineGunIt No. My VP9's slide sits on there pretty good. It has kind of a very short railing at the front that locks the slide into the lower frame and prevents it from wiggling. Only when the slide is locked back after the last shot it is more loose upon the lower frame.
Non-blowbacks are great for conserving Co2, and having good accuracy, whereas blowback pistols are for the added realism and fun. They are also more expensive.
Have to agree that i love my Gen 4, it looks and feels amazing and is one of the closest replicas in my collection. The only issue is its almost the most inaccurate by a long way, which is a huge pity. So close and yet so far. Hopefully the Gen 5 although not as good a replica especially where the mag is concerned can address these issues.
Ever watch an air gun review video where as soon as you form a question in your head about the gun, the reviewer thoroughly answers it? THIS is one of those review videos. 👍🏽‼️
Picking up my Gen 5 in the morning. Very excited despite the apparent build quality issues. It'll be my first Glock so I have nothing to compare it to. Might even try my hand at an unboxing and review video from the non Gen 4 comparison perspective.
@@mrpenis6969 it suffers with slide rattle but aside from that it's a lovely replica pistol and I'm very happy with it. I get hours of fun. The blowback is slightly lighter than the Gen 4 but to compensate for this is actually packs a harder punch in the target (despite power figures quoted on the boxes). I'd recommend it, it's a well built fun pistol in it's own right
Great review Andy, wish that I had seen your great review before buying the GEN5. The ratling of the slide is very irritating and it cannot be dismantled.
it can be dismantled. you just need to push one pin out. not field friendly tho and I do not see any use for tearing it down. Also pulling slide does do loading work and trigger gets light after it, but you can skip it and just pull trigger. blow back also does do loading work while shooting.
Brilliant video he’s amazing at showing how they work I own the Gen 4 and Glock dual ammo non threaded version based on the Gen 3 👍 can’t wait to see the Gen 5 pellet video 😃
Should make a different variant to glock 17, with a chrome slide........also could make a high capacity magazine which sticks out the grip like the m17!!
I would like to see a pellet version of the Glock, only pellets. The fps should be above 380 with a steel pellet. Accuracy should be better than the bb glock version. Thank you.
I love what Umarex has done with these guns, but I think I'll pass on this one. I already own 4 of their Glock models, but the very sound of that "clanging" is a huge turn-off for me. My 17 Gen 3 and 19x have a bit of a "clang" to them, but the noise coming from this model is pretty bad. Thanks Andy, great work as usual!
For those of us who already purchased the Glock 19 X it is the same thing as a Glock 17 Gen 5 except for the slide is a little longer so if you're going to get a gen-5 you might as well go ahead and get the pellet version or the paintball version if you already own the Glock 19 X
Bought a gen 4 was £240! But much better than the Gen 5 for sure! Had a .177 pellet option also but doesn’t have blow back so was easy decision. It’s amazing. Love the weight only slightly over the real thing and feels lovely in the hand.
Thank you Andy , great Review for us . Wow many options for a Glockenspiel , but I think they are milking it a bit now ! . I have a dual ammo Glock and that will do for my collection. Hope you had a fabulous Holiday 👍 Cheers Simon
Well that's it then. After driving myself crazy all week trying to decide which Glock to buy you Mr Andy Dandy are the one who made up my mind for me. I will go with the Gen 4. Like that it's more well build and sturdy but damn I wish the FPS was about 100 higher. If it's gonna look and act like a Glock it should also shoot like a real Glock. Low FPS on any Gun just drives me crazy. I want POWER baby !!!
Gen 4 for me I like the fact it's field strippable hands down plus the 5 sounds tinny when you rack it, if I could afford to have them all I would but seeing that I don't I'm looking for quality over quantity
Bought the Gen3. Would recommend the Gen4 as well. It's a blend of the best quality and features and between those two so just choose the one you like the most between Gen3 and gen4. Forget the 5. I could feel the cheapness just watching this video.
According to the specs the Gen 5 differences include 20 round magazine over the 18 350 FPS over 320 and rifled barrel over smoothbore I don't know if the specs are wrong or if AAR is wrong but one of them is
I have the gen 5 and love it, very accurate pistol for a blowback, mine doesn’t rattle anywhere near as much as this thankfully. Maybe it’s because mine is the pellet version, less rattly
Una buena y completa revisión de ambas pistolas. Queda claro que la versión Gen4 está mejor hecha que la Gen5. Me ayudará a decidirme en la compra. ¡Muchas gracias!
Hi Andy just a little feedback on the review on the glock 17 gen 4 I tried a red dot sight on it it still shoots low .but still is amazing to shoot I no you didn't have time to try the red dot sights on so I thought that I wood give it a go david
I got the gen 4 a couple of weeks ago, and it's a great gun, once you know how to compensate for the accuracy (aim the sights directly above what you want to hit) it's a great all rounder, feels solid has a great action and is a lot of fun.
@@robbieracer3294 Yes it still works fine, very well made, I had a colt 1911 (Remington) and the seals were very unreliable and would get through no end of c02's. This one work every time, only thing it can be finicky screwing the bottom back on but you'll get the knack of it.
Hello Andy, First of all a nice vlog 👌. But I am stuck with 1 question,.. I have a glock 17 gen4 and a glock 17 gen5 as well as 1 glock 19X coyote .... If I have to choose between the Gen 4 and the Gen 5 , which one would I keep ? Whats you / your opinion ? Answers are welcome.
the gen5 is the same as the gen3 for those wondering. rattle half blowback slightly more powerful loose bb gun mag with gas showing slide is just for show
Thanks for your comparison! I found there are two variants of G17 gen4 CO2 version from UMAREX, 2.6434 (flat magzine bottom like Green gas version) and 2.6415 (with an extended part on the bottom of magzine), what is the difference and which one shoud I choose? Many thanks.
So teach me is this one that fuses with that one now so which upper would be a reliable durable and stress situational calming when you know the tool your using is the right one for the job.
Hi Andy, I have bought a glock 17 gen 5 and as your aware you have to load the bbs in one by one is there a way to load then faster I have seen other mags where you load from the bottom or some people modify the mags by drilling a hole big enough for a bb so it's easier/quicker to load..... do you have any advice
idk why they did that with the airgun gen 5, the airsoft 6mm gen5 is amazing, it's field stripable, bas good blowback, a realistic mag and is just a great gun general, so if you want a gen5 glock 17 and you dont like this one, just get the airsoft version from umarex it has allmost all the positives of the gen4 and the look of the gen5.
yea, I am a bit late but after seeing this, I went back to check my gen 5. you can tear it down with tools (you just have to push one pin out) and trigger gets lighter if you do loading slide before first shot, (blow back does do the reload work for next shot) but it is not necessary for shooting. I don't have gen 4 so can't correct anything with that or compare to it :)
This is also very interesting! My Glock 17 Gen 5 seems to be quite different from the one here in the review. I'm not sure if it's different out here in the states or not. The take down levers on mine are fully functional, and I don't have that same rattle action. I also got the green gas version so I'm not sure if that's also why its different. It's also interesting that these 2 guns shoot steel bbs as well? So it's not just an airsoft gun?
Thanks for the vids. I would like to see an update with a 'fully licenced Glock 17 Gen 5' ..... field strippable etc. I think the compassison to a Gen 4 would be very interessting
Well done Andy. The Gen 5 seems to be an atrocious mutant between the Gen 4 and the late SA177 model. A desperate attempt to fill the gap?? I'd rather stick with my old SA177 and stay away from the Gen5. 😆
Front end is too round on the Gen 5 and a Gen 5 also has serrations on the front end. I never thought I’d use them, but they are nice. The mag drop on the Gen 5 is realistic tho, mine practically shoots out when I hit the release. Umarex did end up making a great paint ball replica of the 5 that’s really damn close to the original, and even shipped some with the back straps, which is great, if you got big hands you’ll love the bigger back straps.
I got the Glock 17 Gen 4 as its more realistic I do like the slide lock on last shot and the field strippable I do dry fire it a lot to save CO2 and bb rounds too I am lucky I used the real steal Glock 17 Gen 4 and the replica is really good at being faithful to the real steel
Hi Andy, first of all, thanks for your videos, I love them. I'm thinking of buying the Glock 17. I like the pellet better, before BB, what do you think? Which gen of the glock do you prefer? GEN2, GEN3, GEN4 or GEN5? Thank you
je8422377 That’s why you need to get the fully licensed green gas version with all the correct markings. It’s amazing. This cheap ass co2 version is lame.
This is like Top Gear for air guns ! Accents make it better
I'd love that! James may would be sitting in the corner, cup of tea and a newspaper in his hands and a muzzleloader on his lap while he's ranting about all these uncontrollable beasts they call teenagers these days with their fancy new 1911's and shoulderstocked lugers

Just picked up another Gen4 today and pleased to confirm the magazine now has the GLOCK logo base plate.

I bought the gen 5 then shakes it, and realized the rattling is so unpleasing, returned it
Same story bro
I will do the same :(
Just got it myself. rattles too much, cant disassemble it and the mag is quite different. Gen 4 will be better i think for me

I want nimil that I can build with out have to show the babysitting License
Mine shoots 4.5 pellets, not BBs, and it has an issue with the slide , it isn't going back enough for the slide holder to hold it
Hi Andy,
I have bought a glock 17 gen 5 and as your aware you have to load the bbs in one by one is there a way to load then faster I have seen other mags where you load from the bottom or some people modify the mags by drilling a hole big enough for a bb so it's easier/quicker to load..... do you have any advice
They should bring out a 30 round clip for these like the real guns would be great.
The real pistols do not have "clips" but magazines. For clips u might want a mosint or mauser :)
idk why they did that with the airgun gen 5, the airsoft 6mm gen5 is amazing, it's field stripable, bas good blowback, a realistic mag and is just a great gun general, so if you want a gen5 glock 17 and you dont like this one, just get the airsoft version from umarex it has allmost all the positives of the gen4 and the look of the gen5.
yea, I am a bit late but after seeing this, I went back to check my gen 5. you can tear it down with tools (you just have to push one pin out) and trigger gets lighter if you do loading slide before first shot, (blow back does do the reload work for next shot) but it is not necessary for shooting. I don't have gen 4 so can't correct anything with that or compare to it :)
This is also very interesting! My Glock 17 Gen 5 seems to be quite different from the one here in the review. I'm not sure if it's different out here in the states or not. The take down levers on mine are fully functional, and I don't have that same rattle action. I also got the green gas version so I'm not sure if that's also why its different.
It's also interesting that these 2 guns shoot steel bbs as well? So it's not just an airsoft gun?
Your voice reminds me of Techmoan's channel. Awesome review, I like it. Ordered a TM G17 Gen 4. Thanks.
Have u tried the kwc glock copy. I bought one as couldn't find a umarex gen 4 and surprisingly good
Thanks for the vids. I would like to see an update with a 'fully licenced Glock 17 Gen 5' ..... field strippable etc. I think the compassison to a Gen 4 would be very interessting
Well done Andy. The Gen 5 seems to be an atrocious mutant between the Gen 4 and the late SA177 model. A desperate attempt to fill the gap?? I'd rather stick with my old SA177 and stay away from the Gen5. 😆
The gen 5 in this video is a fake copy...
Front end is too round on the Gen 5 and a Gen 5 also has serrations on the front end. I never thought I’d use them, but they are nice.
The mag drop on the Gen 5 is realistic tho, mine practically shoots out when I hit the release.
Umarex did end up making a great paint ball replica of the 5 that’s really damn close to the original, and even shipped some with the back straps, which is great, if you got big hands you’ll love the bigger back straps.
Umarex but from who make?? thanks
I'd like to go with the gen4 but I'm left handed and the gen5 is ambidextrous
So glad I got the gen 4
I got the Glock 17 Gen 4 as its more realistic I do like the slide lock on last shot and the field strippable I do dry fire it a lot to save CO2 and bb rounds too I am lucky I used the real steal Glock 17 Gen 4 and the replica is really good at being faithful to the real steel
Hi Andy, first of all, thanks for your videos, I love them. I'm thinking of buying the Glock 17.
I like the pellet better, before BB, what do you think?
Which gen of the glock do you prefer? GEN2, GEN3, GEN4 or GEN5?
Thank you
Did u get a answer? What hits harder pellet or bb
@@ian.new.life. No, they haven't answered me, I don't know which one shoots harder, but the pellet is more accurate, that's for sure
@@marcsoler2409 what pellets are best? R u in uk or usa
@@ian.new.life. I am from Spain, here the most used are those of the Gamo brand and apparently they are the best in the world
been having complaints about get the allen key cover back
onto the gun ..hat is you opinion
Hi Andy, have you had the chance to get the new 45 in your hands? Maybe they solved the quality issues by now?
Gen 5 kind of sucks, doesn’t it.
je8422377 In the airgun, yes. However my real gen 5 is much improved over the gen 4.
It's the gen 3 but worse than 4
je8422377 That’s why you need to get the fully licensed green gas version with all the correct markings. It’s amazing. This cheap ass co2 version is lame.
@@NatsumiTakanawa I agree, airsoft Mike did a review on his channel of the green gas version and it was badass... the co2 just looks cheap...
@bestattak well youve never shot a real glock gen 5 then
What website did you get the gen 4 from?
amazon prob
I can listen to you all day, thank you for the video sir :)
