great look and feel very realistic glock look and function!

use better quality parts that are more reliable and durable under medium to heavy use

gun shoots awesome looks great and for the price is a good buy, however the parts have a cheap feel and are prone to breaking but you get what u pay for, also the magazines will only feed silver bbs the copper ones seem to not work properly!

accurate, powerful for a blowback, nice sights, low cost, blowback, loud, looks good, excellent finish on the 1st gun I recieved

replacable sights (both front and rear) like a real glock would be nice, though the gun is very accurate at 30 ft with the existing molded sights

this is an excellent pistol...out of the box I'm getting 430+ fps...the trigger is not as heavy as others have said, but the pull is long...the fiber optic filament in the rear sights is extemely fragile, and broke within 2 days from the weak force of the blowback with normal use...PA was great and replaced the gun, with 24hr turn around time...the replacement is not as well built as the 1st gun, the finish is terrible, and the safety sticks 1/2 way. the paint on the rear sight was apparently touched during production and looks like it was carved out of cheese by a small child with a blunt knife...the mag in the 1st gun held 19 rds, but the replacement holds 20 rds for some reason...the rear of the trigger is very rough, with plastic shavings hanging off of it...the 1st gun was well oiled out of the box, the replacement is almost dry...I would swear that Umarex refurbed this gun and repackaged it as new...I was extremely pleased with the 1st gun, but the replacement is really disappointing

looks like glock 17 and just a sweet looking gun and feel

the accuracy is the only bad thing i found with the gun and mine leaks CO2 a bit but some lube on cartridges should fix that

an overall great gun perfect for shooting fun and messing around but accuracy is terrible

Metal Slide, Metal Clip, Blow Back Action, CO2 Chamber Flip Open, Slide Locks Open When Out Of Ammo Giving A Very Realistic Feel

Possibly.... more FPS if possible. It is actually good when comparing to others, but this is something I would like to see in ALL air gun pistols. I would give up more shots for more power for sure. :) But this does have good power.

heft and feel...great power...great accuracy...loud...nice, heavy, metal, 19 round mag that's easy to load...nice trigger pull...excellent sights...fires with authority...good realism...short money

adjustable rear sights would be nice, but the gun is dead accurate at 15 yards, so it's not a neccessity...add a spare mag...change the white plastic front sight to a red fiber optic

I haven't chrony'd this gun, but I'm easily getting 425 fps (probably closer to 450) from this gun out of the box, and it's 45 degrees outside...I've put 2 Co2 carts in and couldn't even hear them pierce...smooth trigger, it's a long pull but not as heavy as others say, maybe I just drew a lucky unit...the safety is a little bit stiff but I have no problem using it with 1 finger from the firing position...rapid firing in 45 degree temp I got about 80 rounds off before the slide refused to move back far enough to lock...I'm impressed with this gun, and extremely pleased with this purchase...thanks Pyramyd Air

clip is super awesome to reload!!

the tiny screw handle for the co2 could be better placed

buy two! :D akimbo ftw

Love the blowback on this thing. Tons of fun to shoot. I really like the CO2 chamber, looks cool.

When the clip is empty the slide will stay open, but you can still pull the trigger. If the gun could be made so that that would not happen thus not waste CO2 that would be awesome. but for the price this thing is good.

Extra clips are a must. The fiber sights are real nice.

This gun has a very nice weight and feel. The turning knob to tighten the co2 is hidden by the clip so it is not hanging from the bottom. Blowback action is very smooth and the slide moves with no problem. The gun has a slight recoil which I like because it makes it feel a little more real. Accuracy isn't perfect but what gun is? You have to space your shots to maximize accuracy but I think thats a good thing because it keeps your bbs from flying everywhere.For the price of this gun it is well worth it.

Nothing

The pistol has a good wieght and feel. I bought it to practice drawing and target aquisition. You can use it for this purpose. The magzine does work, so you can simulate magazine changes. I have put several hundred rounds through mine without any problems with it firing.

I would like to the slide to be used in the activation of the gun--i.e. pull and release to load first round.

Like most CO2 powered guns, you'll definately see a drop in performance toward the end of cartridge.

Realistic look and feel with good sights.

Trigger pull is long and stiff. Bought this for my son and he needs to use his middle finger to squeeze the trigger. Also extra clip availablity is an issue.

Good accuracy even with above trigger descritpion if you tale you time, It is true about the gun using minimal co2 for a blowback, doesn't recoil as much as the GSG 9 or the Sig replica's, but still noticable, overall good product for the money w/no real quality issues so far, except finding extra clips.

OMG ! A very realistic copy of a Glock 17. Well constructed of high quality plastic, and with a metal slide. Excellent velocity and outstanding accuracy. Probably my favourite CO 2 pistol of the nine that I have collected so far.

Not one thing !

Another fine Umarex product, and without a doubt the BEST value for the money. I have never been this impressed with any other gun that I own.

Overall great gun. An awesome replica of the Glock 17. I almost always get 7 magazines (140 rounds) per CO2 canister. It's easy to aim, very acurate, great price, realistic blowback, I love pretty much everything about it!

I would've made it easier to load the CO2 canister. The little knob thing tends to get stuck while you turn it to load the CO2, & it's kind of hard to turn it fast enough to prevent it from losing CO2

The packaging says it has a 16 round clip. The manual says it has a 19 round clip. It's actually 20 rounds.

blowback action, similar to a 22 and looks like a glock, enough so that im going to use it in a short film...

make the trigger safety legit and make the manual safety easier to use

if, on one co2 cannister the blowback dosent work let it sit for a while. also if you are looking for accuracy go for the s&w mp40

très bon produit, La mire est super agréable, le tir précis. L'effet blow-back + la culasse qui se bloque après la dernière bille donne un effet très réalise.

looks like a real glock. i like the way it loads.

the trigger is way to heavy

nice little BB gun for the money.

The weight is great. Slide lock-back,when empty is nice. My problem is I bought 2 units and both of them would not hold co2 after the second cartridge. THAT REALLY BITES!!!

The safety would be something to really improve, hard to use. Adjustable rear site needed.

Reliable, measured 400 fps average on a chronograph, slide locks back on final BB, accurate (was getting hits on aluminum can at 20 yards) good for target acquisition drills

Lighten the trigger pull, smooth out the trigger surface, make the frame slimmer so it will fit in Glock holsters

Very accurate, great on CO2, great informal training tool for a glock owner. Width is slightly wider than my G17, a little narrower than my G20. Weight, and balance are not identical, but close enough for informal training. Point of aim equals point of impact on mine- a very big plus.

Mags have a tendency to spontaneously empty when inserted in the gun, or being bumped, or being looked at funny, etc. At the time of this review I have fired this pistol around 2k times. I have had around half a dozen "glitches"-FTFs, gas pressure fluctuations, "burping", spontaneous full auto. I was tempted to return it, but for the price I will probably just buy another when this one dies.

The gun shoots very good.It has a good feel to it.good blow back to it.

full size clip.open breach.

Things I like about this bb pistol are the weight, feel of gun in hand, power, blowback, and is more accurate than my other bb gun's.

Not a thing at this point. Although it would be nice to have an adjustable sight on the rear of gun. It is accurate so not needed, but if it was to shoot off this would be a nice option!

The first SA 177 I ordered had a leak at the seals, P.A. was very helpfull with a replacement, they E-Mailed me a Fed EX return label.Once I droped this in the Fed Ex drop box, I had my replacement gun in day's.So what im saying is if you have a problem call P.A. and they will make good with their customer service Dept.Although this gun has fixed sight's it is very accurate, more than some other bb pistol's, and this is my first blowback pistol. I wish I would have found this one earlier, I have quite a collection now.From Baretta FS 92,Walther CP 88 and so on, so for the price, you have blowback with the low cost of bb's,and power as well.DON'T BE FOOLED BY PRICE !! This is a very nice bb gun, with ability to hit the bullseye consistantly with regular shooting,rapid fire will not be so accurate. BUY IT !!!!!!!!! You can't go wrong!!!I get a least 100 - 140 rounds on one CO2, this gun is so much fun to shoot. So stock up on C02 and bb's, you will have a lot of fun with this one, SHOOT SAFE!! I give this pistol 5 stars for all the things that I have told you about it.
