The Secret Of Glock Pistols That No One Is Talking About

De Wikifliping

Wow! This Glock 26 Style Spring Pistol will be a good little piece and has a whole lot going for it, especially in this particular price array of spring airsoft guns. For starters, the overall appearance is pleasing, if not entirely accurate pertaining to the surface texture variations between the slide and molded grip-frame which may be typical of the real Glock. you can try here will discover very noticeable molding lines on the trigger, slide, frame and magazine base, but in this particular price range this really is to be expected.

Furthermore, the gun is pictured with an orange colored muzzle end slide face, but as supplied includes a full length black slide and orange barrel extending approx 1/4 to 5/32 inches beyond the slide, which I at least find more attractive. The picture also indicates 'COMBAT DELTA' and 9x19 indented in to the left slide face, but mine arrived 'smooth'.

So....how does it feel and shoot. In a word - good. It's no surprise Glock's are so popular. It just naturally fits, at least in my hands. The grip contouring and thumb indentation, even such as the 'pinkie rest' on the magazine extension, the back strap shape and radius, trigger and trigger guard notch are generally ergonomically correct for an intuitive 'grip', site picture & target acquisition. What I find remarkable is how the front site blade visually indexes so accurately in the ramped Novak style rear site blade (and on such an low-cost pistol), allowing a really precise site picture which minimizes the effect of the short site radius.

I'm sure this makes perfect sense to those of you who appreciate such things. The magazine holds 9 BBs, and is fed by manually retracting a spring loaded 'follower', thus allowing the insertion of BBs into the 'ammo well'. The follower incorporates a detente notch allowing the user to lock the follower spring in the base position while loading - a nice touch - although perhaps not really necessary. Just remember to release the follower to ensure proper feeding just before reinsertion of the loaded mag. Depressing the magazine release in the event the pistol is vertical will immediately drop the mag - there's no binding - yet the mag catch clicks and holds securely. Being which it is a spring airsoft gun, the slide has to be manually retracted to compress the spring and cock the pistol for every discharge (shot). Through the way, I am certain this is ho hum stuff to most of you, but for those new to Airsoft, it is not bad info., especially since this is such a great 'starter gun.'

Anyway, the spring feels really firm, perhaps as this is such a small pistol, and I found it essential to grip the slide pretty much along it's length between the 4 fingers and thumb of my left hand. I suppose one 'can' cock this pistol by gripping just the cocking serrations on the rear of the slide, but I don't recommend this method, as doing so requires a grip tight sufficient to dimensionally compress the slide. After a few times although, it becomes second nature. The first shot was a real surprise. This thing shoots hard for a low cost springer, and I highly advise proper eye protection, especially if there is any chance of a ricochet. I didn't 'bench' this thing for accuracy, but it could be interesting to see how it groups and at what distances.

Trigger action was also a nice surprise, with no take-up similar to most real Single action/double action Euro wonder nines. Apply pressure as well as the trigger moves rearward about 1/8 - 3/16 of an inch and releases crisply (on my example). Trigger pull is tactile although not too stiff. By the way, I didn't subject the pistol to any torture tests or put a gazillion rounds through it, but on the other hand, it still impresses me at this price. The gun comes in a molded Styrofoam box with a printed cardboard cover and also a sample pack of.12 gm. BBs, all of which were quickly dispensed through my example, without a hitch. So....there it really is. I really like the glock, to the degree it's kind of challenging to put it down. I just wonder if any real Glocks may very well be sold as a result of someones discovery of this fun little thing?

Addendum thoughts: First off, why such a lengthy review of an affordable spring pistol? First, there is not always a distinct and technically measurable correlation between the price of an item and the enjoyment one experiences associated with it's use. Put simply, it does not always take a lot of money to possess a lot of fun. In some cases, there is an an inverse expenditure/benefit correlation (more income, less fun). Besides, Airsoft customers appear to be very passionate regarding their opinions of everything Airsoft, and no surprise.
