A few days ago we got our hands on the Glock 19 CO2 pistol, and we've been waiting for it for a long time. For the history of Glock, to see how it was, the sensations, the shooting. Finally we have been able to take a look and test the Glock 19 CO2 pistol and here we tell you about it.
The Glock 19 CO2 pistol
The continued pursuit of perfection in all facets of design, engineering and manufacturing has firmly established GLOCK pistols as the standard by which all others are compared.
A year ago Umarex, based in Germany, received the world's first licence from the well-known Austrian gun manufacturer, GLOCK, for the reproduction of its internationally recognised pistols. Thus, UMAREX is writing a new chapter in its success story as a world leader in licensed replica pistols.
The new Glock 19 CO2 pistol is compact and practical, with the unmistakable look of the original pistol and plenty of power. Despite its relatively small length of 186mm, it fires 4.5mm steel BBs with a muzzle energy of up to 3 joules and weighs 717g. Like the original, it has a metal slide and a trigger safety that is true to the original.
Important features of the Glock 19 CO2 pistols
- It is a 4.5mm calibre pistol, so you can use any steel pellet of any brand on the market. We recommend Umarex BB steel pellets.
- The removable magazine holds up to 16 steel balls, a normal and decent capacity for a CO2 pistol.
- The sights are very good, well visible, coloured in white as we can see in the image below
- As for the weight of the pistol, it is very, very realistic, it weighs 717 grams, the truth is that it feels very comfortable in the hand and with a perfect weight. The handling is unique to this pistol.
The feel of the Glock 19 CO2 pistol
We insert a 12g CO2 cartridge, load the magazine to the top with 4.5mm steel BBs, and start shooting.
We notice a firm trigger that inspires confidence in the shot. It has the perfect travel to avoid finger fatigue or over-pulling.
We also notice a solid grip and good traction in the hand, which is very important. When shooting, the white-dot front sight performs its function perfectly.
In short, it is an excellent replica of the original, allowing us to have fun and even do some target practice with this Glock 19 CO2 pistol.
For us, it seems like a "must-have" among CO2 pistols that belongs in any collection. Hyper-realistic, comfortable to shoot, good power, good weight, and perfect handling...
