EVOLUTION HANDGUNS

USED AS A BACKUP OR PRIMARY WEAPON, EVOLUTION HANDGUNS ARE ALWAYS THE RIGHT CHOICE DUE TO THEIR HIGH LEVEL OF REALISM AND DEPENDABLE QUALITY.

When Evolution decided to start making handguns, they started from a blank sheet. Understanding the standard manufacturing procedures used by most manufacturers in the Airsoft Industry, Evolution adopted a unique manufacturing protocol inspired by the firearms industry.

The result is a line of handguns with excellent finish, smooth action, accurate shooting and with a hard kick. Evolution guns are designed in Italy, hand-fitted by their own technicians to minimize the tolerances, tested one by one in their own shooting range and packed in an impact-proof 'Made in Italy' pistol case.

THE E017

The classic design of the E017 well disguises the attention Evolution put to the internal components. The levers and springs are perfectly designed and fitted to deliver a smooth trigger feeling in a double-action gun.

The slide is CNC processed to deliver a sharp feeling.

The Hard Kick Recoil System (HKRS) returns to the shooter a strong recoil making this gun quite fun to use.

The Carbontech™ polymer used for the frame grants an increased durability. The gun is delivered in an impact resistant 'Made in Italy' pistol case.

To buy an airsoft weapon in the UK you must have a valid airsoft defence.

This is not a licence, it is basically just proof that you intend to buy an airsoft weapon for use in airsoft.

An airsoft defence could be a UKARA or membership with the British Airsoft Club, and various other forms of defence.

You can only obtain an airsoft defence once you are over the age of 18.

To get an airsoft defence the law is that you should play at least 3 games of airsoft, and that you must have been playing for at least two months.

You can still buy an airsoft gun without a defence, provided you are 18 or older. If you choose to do this we would, by law, two tone (paint in a bright colour) parts of your chosen weapon. This is because an airsoft gun is considered a RIF aka Realistic Imitation Firearm, because they are so close to the real steel, whereas when you paint parts of it in a bright colour it becomes an IF aka Imitation Firearm. The reason being that the bright colours make it look less realistic to the public, and therefor less likely to be mistaken as real, were it to be used for any other purpose than airsoft.

When you order a gun from us you will need to add your defence details in the comments section of the cart. If you do not have a defence you will need to write the colour that you wish to be used for two toning your airsoft weapon.

Here is what's stated in the VCRA (Violent Crime Reduction) Act:

For airsoft skirmishing, the Association of British Airsoft is putting in place arrangements to allow retailers to check that individual purchasers are members of a genuine skirmishing club or site. The key elements of these arrangements are:
1. new players must play at least 3 (three) times in a period of not less than two months before being offered membership
2. membership cards with a photograph and recognised format will be issued for production to retailers
3. A central database will be set up for retailers to cross-check a purchaser’s details
4. member’s entry on the database will be deleted if unused for 12 months.
The defence for airsoft skirmishing can apply to individual players because their purchase of realistic imitation firearms for this purpose is considered part of the “holding” of a skirmishing event.
