Umarex Glock G17 GEN4 Gas Blowback Pistol (by VFC - Black)

Umarex Glock 17 Gen4 Gas Blowback Pistol manufactured by VFC. Fully Licensed replica of the Glock 17 Gen4 pistol.

This is an officially licenced product with Glock having a huge input into design and production - as expected they do not disappoint.

The legendary GLOCK 17 is the duty pistol which every other handgun is compared to. Famed for its reliability, performance, and magazine capacity, the GLOCK 17 is the go-to full size pistol for professionals and enthusiasts. This replica can do almost everything the real steel can do. For one thing, it can be stripped down completely for easy cleaning and inspection.

The Gen.4 model features the modular backstrap system which allows you to change the fit and feel of the grip to better suit your hands. The frame features a new scientifically designed, real-world tested rough texture technology for improved grip.

The reversible enlarged magazine catch makes reloading much easier.

This model is fully licensed by GLOCK with the full engravings and markings. The included magazine has a 24 round capacity, while the pistol has a metal top slide and gas blow back feature. As this has a metal top slide we recommend using Green gas with this pistol.

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.
