UMAREX Glock 17 Gen5 GBB French Edition Airsoft Pistol — Black/Coyote

The UMAREX Glock 17 Gen5 GBB French Edition is a gas-powered airsoft pistol with blowback, 200 mm in length and weighing 640 g. It replicates the version issued to the French armed forces, with a black metal slide and Coyote polymer frame, and is aimed at players looking for a high-realism replica for both field use and dry training.

The metal slide delivers a noticeable blowback on every shot: the moving mass produces a concrete recoil sensation that sets this replica apart from all-polymer alternatives. The adjustable hop-up allows trajectory correction as BB weight changes, adapting the replica to different shooting conditions without swapping internal parts. The magazine holds 22 BBs and muzzle velocity is around 90 m/s with 0.20 g BBs.

The Gen5 design does away with finger grooves on the frame, giving a more neutral grip that suits a wider range of hand shapes. The controls — hold open lever and magazine release button — are fully ambidextrous, which matters for left-handed shooters who do not want to work around a right-hand-oriented layout. The accessory rail is compatible with Glock 17 weapon lights and lasers. As a gas-operated system, performance varies with temperature: in cold conditions the blowback may feel less snappy than under optimal conditions.

Declared compatibility with Glock 17 holsters from brands such as Amomax, Safariland and Blackhawk means this replica can slot into existing kit setups without the need for dedicated holsters.
