Realistic performance of the replica
The design of the Glock 17 French Edition has been made with special reproduction of construction details. It is a full-size version based on a polymer frame, on which a metal lock is mounted. The manufacturer also made sure that, in addition to the faithfully reproduced design, the operation of the mechanisms of the replica was as close to the original as possible. The model will prove itself in combat as a sidearm. The French Edition version was specially designed for the French army and was equipped with a Coyote-colored skeleton and an eyelet for a safety lanyard.
Green-Gas power supply
The model is powered by Green Gas from a tank integrated into the magazine installed in the handle. Gas power supply made it possible to use a powerful Blow-Back system . The perceptible "kick" of the gun pleasantly mimics the effect accompanying the firing of a firearm. In addition, the installed Hop-Up system is responsible for the ball's turn-up and stable flight. The shot ball reaches a velocity of about 300 FPS.
Blow-Back system
The replica has a Blow-Back system, which is responsible for the realistic recoil of the breech after each shot is fired. The perceptible "kick" of the gun pleasantly mimics the effect accompanying the firing of a firearm. After the last bullet is fired, the breech stops in the rear position.
SA trigger mechanism
The model uses a Single Action (single action only) trigger mechanism, which is characterized by a short path to the moment of firing and little resistance with which to pull it down. After reloading and after firing the first shot, the shock mechanism will then be automatically tightened by the retracting lock. The main advantage of this solution is its simple design and the ability to fire precise shots without the risk of breakage.
Targeting instruments and rail
Glock has mechanical sighting instruments. They consist of a fixed bow tie and a pinpoint pin with 3 white dots, making it easier to align the two elements with each other. In addition, a 22mm Picantinny standard mounting rail has been placed on the frame, under the barrel. It allows the installation of a laser pointer, flashlight, etc.
Safety features of the replica and the magazine
The gun has an automatic trigger safety in the form of an additional tongue integrated into the trigger. The replica uses a metal magazine inserted into the handle with a capacity of 22 rounds.
