Umarex Glock 19 Gen3 .177 Caliber BB Gun Air Pistol

I just got this in this morning. My son and I couldn’t wait to try it so we took it out this morning and man it is fun! My son is 8 years old and this is his first BB/air soft gun. It has a safety, cool magazine and even the weight and feel of a real gun. It has a nice little pop sound from the co2 every time you fire. We were shooting targets from about 30’ away with accuracy. We haven’t tried farther away yet but I bet it’s even good at twice that distance. My son really wants to go try real guns like I shoot but I told him not until he’s 10 years old. This Glock 19 is a great way to teach him gun safety over the next 2 years to prepare for the real thing. (I probably don’t need to say this as it’s common sense, but don’t let your inexperienced kid run around with this, it’s powerful, they could hurt themselves. It also looks very real and an officer, or a vigilante civilian could easily mistake this for the real thing without a close up inspection).

I bought the Glock 19 because I had just received an UMAREX MCP that at 2/3 of the price of the Glock was a complete dud! (see my review and others, but it seems in 5% or so of cases the magazine release locks indefinitely, as it did for me). The Glock 19 came out the box ready to go. Loading the cartridge was easy and the mechanism for piercing the cartridge far superior to that of he MCP. Loading BBs was similarly easy and the magazine well designed. The weight of the gun is good for an adult, maybe a tad to much for a smaller person with weak arms, but that's to be expected. The only "so-so" feature is that the safety could be safer... one could inadvertently switch the safety off and not notice (the safety is the only superior feature of the MCP relative to the Glock in my estimate). In conclusion, a nice product that used with care and attention will delight young (>16 yrs) and old.

Imma start off by saying the gun is really powerful but its not TOO accurate. But its accurate enough but the power on this thing is really good, it smashed through this chair i used to use for my porch repeatedly on a low co2 cartridge. It could do way better if it was on a fresh co2 that really displays the power. Its also really realistic it has a nice weight to it. I handed it to my mom and she genuinely couldn't tell if it was a real gun. Haven't had any problem with it either

I bought this in hopes to improve my aim while using my real Glock. I was a little taken back by how bad my aim is with my real Glock. Working with this, I feel like this BB gun is solid and my aim has much improved (on it at least). I would say that it's pretty accurate to 30 yards. My only complaint would be that the trigger does have to be pulled down quite a bit before it fires. It's not a deal breaker, but it's not at all like my real Glock. Just knowing I have to pull it down so far, I can prepare for that short coming.

A fantastic replica BB Gun for a real Glock 19. It fits nicely in my holster which is made for the real one which is a pleasant surprise. It shoots amazingly and feels hefty. It functions amazingly, both shooting accurately and is very consistently. An absolutely amazing gun for just $60. No leaks in CO2 either which I was worried about.

The design is very realistic . It fits very well in the hand if you have decently big hands. With the co2 in it, it sounds real and the quality is amazing. There is no leakage so far I’ve had it for 6 months and it’s amazing would recomend

Pretty neat good for training purposes for your kids or loved ones don’t even need to add bbs at first just to let them get used to feeling of it, slide doesn’t move only non realistic aspect for training aside from the obvious which is the zero recoil wish the slide moved is all
