I have a need for something like this for new shooters, and for helping my wife get over occasional flinching issues.

If they could create a Glock airsoft with a real Glock trigger, that would be one of the greatest training aids possible.Quote:

I suspect a highly realistic Glock airsoft pistol would be a gold mine for Glock - unlike their real handguns, Airsoft pistols can be sold to every country on earth.
They're still available: https://www.umarexusa.com/glock-g19-gen-3-gbb-6mm-blackQuote:

I got mine locally on sale at a local gunstore a bit over a year ago. I think the gun, gas, and BBs were under $140.

As an aside, Airsoft in the UK is almost as restricted as real guns in the US. I looked into it when my teammates in the UK suggested we do paintball or airsoft as a team-building activity on one of my trips over. I wanted to bring my gun and holster, but quickly found out it would be next to impossible due to their laws around Airsoft kit.Quote:

Then it stops cycling standard velocity stuff (fires, but won't cycle), but will still cycle HV rounds. I'm not including FTFs in that analysis because those are usually the ammo's fault. With cheap Federal bulk pack ammo, I'll get 2-5 FTFs per brick and none for quality ammo.Quote:

The gun will never pass a 2k challenge, but I don't think any rimfire would.

This is exactly the rimfire gun I wanted Glock to make. 2 questions immediately come to mind:
1: Will the lower accept aftermarket Gen 5 triggers?
2: Will the upper work on a G45 frame?
One thing I keyed on that no one else seemed to have mentioned...
I’m the stepson of a tool and die maker. I immediately noticed the (assumed) polymer slide body has a die insert where the model and caliber markings are located. To me, this means they want to be able to change that at will with a new insert.
What is the implication?
Answer to #2 is probably no. It is not a tilting barrel design (or at least not a normal one) so the locking block would be completely different.Quote:
