Glock 17 Gen 5 .43 Caliber Paintball Gun Marker, Multi, One Size

They don't know it yet but my kids got me this for Christmas and I am not disappointed. I own the M&P v. 2 versions of this product and nearly got the TPM1 for a much better price than this one but after spending way too much time watching YouTube reviews I got suckered into paying more for this product. Other than the high price that is literally double all of the other T4E markers this product seems superb.The build quality on this product is first rate. I actually think the higher price has more to do with the licensing and trademarks for Glock fans than it does the materials but the product is pretty solid and hefty in the hand. Almost makes you feel like you could pistol whip your opponents like John Wick or something and laugh maniacally, slap a fresh mag in and clear the room...just kidding.The YouTube reviews I watched were right. There is in fact no rattle. Action is smooth. Frame lower is made from higher density polymer and upper/slide is made from 7075 aluminum. That's the same alloy used in semi-auto rifles in real firearms. So for people into paintball and Air Soft replicas there is some satisfaction in a product that is built tough enough for field conditions and feels like it in the hand since most of us are also gun geeks too.No chronology tests or anything. Who cares about splitting hairs over FPS- shoot for effect. I loaded 8 rounds of those generic rubber ball ammo and on a fresh CO2 tank stepped into the kitchen to engage an imaginary bad guy coming through my front door about 35 feet away. the pop was nearly as loud as a real firearm like a .22 or .25. Pretty loud actually but the noise it made when it slammed into my solid wood front door was pretty noticeable. I had to go check for holes even though I was using solid rubber vs. solid think door. I bet I find something later but wow I so don't want to get hit by one of these at close range. I bet it hurts like a [email protected] trigger on one new out of the box is pretty hard. I guess around 7.5 or so. Actually harder than my real firearms. Kind of hard to get off rapid shots without being able to use the recoil to help and just trigger presses. That will probably break in I hope. the M&Ps did. Slide is nice and tight, no rattle which is not only fit and finish but means they don't hear you when you are trying to sneak up on them at the paintball field. Magazine is spring loaded so it pops out like a real firearm when released. the earlier models you have to press the button and tug on them to get them out. Don't drop these mags to the deck by letting them drop free. That base plate is going to come off but it's a cool design. You have to be smarter than the average hunk of metal to manipulate it but I finally figured it out. Very nice way of changing CO2 in fact without tools, so this gets a bonus for that. They should redesign all of the mags to reload like that.It does in fact also fit Glock accessories. It slides right in and out of a Black Hawk holster and locks in place. I pulled a cheap weapon light off one of our Air Soft Glock 17s and it too slides on and locks in place with no rattle though it seems to fit tighter on the Air soft model for some reason. Honestly, I think I would have liked this better if it was in the Gen 4 design because I like the finger groves and ergonomics so much it nearly convinced me to switch my real firearms from M&P to Glock but this Gen 5 model is nice and solid and its obvious its designed to compete with the M&P. compete it does. Glock is a world class company and Umerex has made a world class replica with their collaboration.Now, I"m not quitting: Glock and Umerex, make us a magazine and replica capable of 500 fps with solid kinetic ball ammo and it will be a viable non-lethal/less-lethal self-defense option everywhere firearms are too much or too restricted and it can still be toned down to around 350 fps for training and punishing Paintball matchesrevision:This did in fact put a .43 sized hole in my front door at 39 feet using rubber ball ammo and that’s surprising. Temp outside was 79 degrees F in N. Texas that day which is important to note. All in all this is a great paintball marker but so far not so great if you are interested in less than lethal close protection owing to the fact that it does not actually have a quick puncture magazine available regardless of what the text description states above. All of the other Umarex T4E have one of these but this model does not and I checked the Umarex website over and over- nothing. At the time of this review it does not exist… The trigger is probably more like a 8 pound trigger but I don’t have a tool to measure it. My real steel M&P .45 has a 6 pound trigger and this Glock is significantly harder to pull than that. The complaints in reviews about the accuracy are not from the smooth bore and round ball but from this trigger. A trigger that hard creates frame drag when you press it causing it to pull to the right if used in your right hand and pull to the left if used in your Left hand and this causes your shots to become “fliers” and miss their mark. Up close you don’t notice but this is the reason the product misses a lot between 30-50 feet or so. You are just simply not going to hit targets very well unless they are right up on you. Add this extremely heavy trigger to the total lack of a quick puncture magazine and this is definitely NOT a product you want to use for self-defense but remains attractive looking on a paintball field.

This looks exactly like the real thing. I sent a picture of it to my friend and he was pumped I got the same handgun as him...and was absolutely shocked when I showed him it was a CO2 gun. I treat it as though it is an actual lethal firearm, because you will be inviting lethal force if you aren't careful with it. I live on 10 acres in the country, so I've got my own range on my property. This is just awesome fun for hours. It packs a punch, but isn't loud enough to where I need ear protection.Almost feels like the real thing. I love shooting powder balls with it. Paintballs work great too, but sometimes they break apart in the magazine and it gets messy. The powder balls don't have any issues at all. I've also used hard rubber pellets with, but those ricochet all over the place and are a pain to gather up. So I mostly stick with the powder balls.It's pretty easy to load up the magazine, and the CO2 canister loading is pretty easy, although sometimes it takes a bit of adjusting to get it right. It goes through canisters pretty fast, but that's not anything out of the ordinary. I get a few magazines worth of shots off before I start to lose semi-auto function. The first magazine with a new canister is super rewarding. Truly packs a punch. Would take out an eye at relatively close range. Will you deter an intruder with this? I hope not to find out, but it's loud enough that it should scare off your garden variety burglars looking for drug money.Comes with a really solid case, too. Definitely happy with the overall product. I've used a bunch of Co2 guns, and this one blows them all out of the water. I doubt I'll ever purchase another one, unless they release a more powerful version of this Glock. Would also be sweet to see it released in the desert sand colorway.If you're looking for a non-lethal handgun to have some fun with, this one is pretty much perfect. Works so much better than any of the revolver style ones I've tried out. 10/10

The T4E Glock 17 Gen 5 .43 Caliber Paintball Gun Marker truly stands out with its authentic design and impressive performance. It closely mirrors the real Glock 17 Gen 5 in both weight and feel, adding a level of realism that's hard to find elsewhere.

Its ergonomic grip fits comfortably in the hand, and the familiar controls make it easy to use right away. Built with durable materials, it feels solid and reliable, ready to handle regular use. Whether you're interested in realistic training or just looking for a high-quality paintball marker, this one combines authenticity with functionality exceptionally well.

I bought this last year. fired it about 8 clips. oiled it cared for it stored it safely. then boom it just wouldn't load co2 with out it bursting out as soon as I tried mounting it. I tried everything. and 8 co2 cartridges later its still useless. I even tried teflon. the dial tightener is so basic and poorly engineered that this gun has just been a nightmare to even try using. Even tightening the dial up as much as I can ie leaks slowly so this will never be there when you need it. I wish I noticed this day one because Id send the POS back DOn't buy

Love the accuracy and ammo options.. pepper paint even solid metal rounds. Its too much fun for a marker

The only air pistol that I have ever owned that was easy to operate and actually works. Inserting the CO2 cartridge is very easy and provides a lot of power to each shot. Everything about the gun's design is clean and efficient. I use mine as a varmint deterrent on my walks around the lake trails. Great product and very well worth the money. Glock makes excellent guns...period.

I legit edc this an its Great hits hard too
