HFC Gas Blowback G17 Package Airsoft

 (4 customer reviews)

PRO'S: Fits all of my gear for my Glock. Comes a-part like a Glock. shoots well and man it's louder than my Sig 226 airsoft gun. The store had a fast turn around on my order.
CON'S: The slide is to light and it needs a stronger guide rod and spring. It only comes with one mag, and so there goes another sixty dollars for extra mags to practice for matches. Unsure if I can put my Dawson front sight or match rear sight on due to plastic slide.

I love this gun. I was amazed at the quality. It is extremely easy to use. It is a very true rendering of my real Glock 17. Save for the orange tip, a slight difference in the left thumb rest dimple, slightly less finished slide, and the three dot sight as opposed to the current Glock half rectangle and dot sights it is a dead ringer. Blowback is realistic although obviously not as powerful as a real 9mm. The clip is virtually identical to the Glock. Weight is close without a loaded clip. HFC has done a fine job here. This gun is way fun to shoot. It is well balanced and very accurate. Power is excellent with the recommended .20 gram load. It delivers a smooth shot right up to when gas is exhausted. The one I bought came with a speed loader and a bag of black .20 gm 6mm BB's.

Buy it, dig it!

Pros- dimensions very close to Glock 17 so I can use it for training. Nice feel, works well...sometimes

Cons- very inconsistent performance. Many times gas blows out in excess. Don't get many mags, out of one filling with gas. Springs are extremely week. sometimes bbs don't load, slide very weak. Finally magazine sometimes has trouble locking in and slide won't go forward when pressing latch. You have to actually pull it back to let it out.

When it works its great, but very iffy and inconsistent.
