Umarex Glock 17 and 19X

They look good. Many, many years ago I bought a couple of .177 air pistols at LeBaron, it was a Beretta FS92 and a Colt 1911 Government, both of which came in very nice hard cases. I was surprised by the quality of these pistols, especially the weight and the amount of metal used. Previous to that I had cheeseball Crossman 2240s and then probably the worst air pistol ever made, the Crosman T4 (sent this back three times to the Quebec repair depot for various repairs - they issued me a new one in package each time, and a few months after, the product was discontinued). Some inaccurate CBC documentary at the time freaked out the owner of the store, who pulled all these replicas in favour of cheesy, cheap looking pistols. I am happy to see your Glocks in a pellet gun/BB format. It was good to get my kids trained on these before they handled my rifles. I picked up a Sig X-Five in .177 earlier this year. When I was in the store, I handled a real X-Five too and was amazed at how almost identical the weight and the handling was. Air pistols have come a long way from the old days of cheesy orange tipped guns that were pretty plasticky.
The attention to detail and authenticity is incredible. The metal slide, the slide roll marks, the polymer imprinted logos, the dimensions, the weight, the sights, the trigger, the grip, the Gen accurate frames and features....all very, very well done.
More pics. Another nice feature with these models are the magazines which are very heavy and not simple strip versions... Which only further adds to the realistic weight of the pistol.
The mags are all metal and hold both the BB's and CO2 cannister, unlike the Umarex G19 non blowback model which has a small strip mag and the CO2 is contained behind the backstrap.
These two models also share the same magazine... which is nice. Whereas the Umarex G19 and Umarex G18C both use different magazines.

I had the non blowback 19 and was very impressed with the construction of it especially after visiting the range and comparing it to a 9mm 19. My friend who has the 9mm version quickly went out to purchase one and commented that it wouldn't fit in his holster. I see they changed the safety on the newer models, it was actually a button on the trigger blade. Mine constantly came on so had to trim it a little and glue it back on. I didn't really shoot it, just bought it for the novelty really. I don't have an actual Glock pistol either. For an airgun I think they are a really good buy though.
Lol this is a big reason why I don't own real pistols. Because at $800-1400 a pop I'd be broke.
But yes you're right about not being able to stop, I already have on order a Sig M17, and another G17...(because they're on sale still for $120 at Cabela's and I'll probably give it to my dad)...
And on another order I have a Beretta APX and H&K VP9...LoL!
When I was looking for these two pistols they were hard to find in stock anywhere so when I found them, I bought them.
