5 Glock Airsoft Guns You’ll Love (And The Accessories You Need)
Jun 30th 2022
A lot of the things that make Glock pistols popular also make Glock airsoft guns great options for an airsoft sidearm, too. They feature great ergs, they’re lightweight and tough, the operation is intuitive, and they’re reliable and smooth shooting. Glock also officially licenses certain airsoft replicas, too, which adds to the cool factor.
So let’s just get into it. The following 5 are currently some of the best-selling Glock airsoft guns on our website. If you need a new airsoft pistol, you won’t go wrong with one of these.
Elite Force/Umarex Glock 18C Gen3 (G18C)
Naturally, the Gen Glock G18C with its extended mag is the most popular Glock airsoft gun on our website. It has a lot going for it, our customers love it, and we can’t blame them.
There are a couple of things that really make these Glock airsoft pistols stand out from the rest. One is that it is capable of select-fire. Not all Glock replicas are, and that’s something that some players look for in a sidearm. Doubtless, it’s also one of the reasons that the Action Army AAP-01 is so popular.
Since this is a green gas airsoft pistol, it’s also very smooth shooting, which is another bonus for some players. Airsoft pistols, CO2 powered models, that is, are harder shooting but wouldn’t be as smooth, especially in full-auto operation.
Another great thing is the extended mag. If you ever intend to use this in full auto, that thing will be a blessing. It might be a little tougher to carry in some holsters, though.
Elite Force/Umarex Glock 19 Gen 3 (G19)
This Gen 3 G19 is another smooth shooting green gas Glock airsoft gun. It offers a lot of what the previous Glock offers but it has a smaller mag. That’s hardly a concern for this and the remainder of our entries though, since this is a sidearm, after all.
It’s smooth shooting and can deliver muzzle velocities of up to 300 FPS which is nice, too. It also comes with a 21 round mag, has a metal slide, and most importantly, has an under-barrel rail - so if you want to expand it, you can.
Elite Force/Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 (G17)
If you like the style and compact design of the G19 mentioned above, but need a slightly faster Glock-style airsoft gun with a slightly improved capacity, this Gen 5 G17 is the Elite Force Glock to get.
It features the same high-quality construction and is also officially licensed by Glock, but it has a 23 round magazine and it’s a little bit faster and more powerful despite the fact that it also uses green gas.
You never know when or how those two extra shots might save a match, and most importantly, this Glock replica can deliver muzzle velocities of up to 345 FPS.
Elite Force/VFC Glock 19X (G19X)
If you need light handling, speed, and compact nature, this G19X replica is the airsoft pistol for you. It’s only a pound and six ounces and a mere 8” in overall length.
It’s smooth shooting, too, and comes with a 23 round magazine. Also, it’s supposedly capable of delivering about 284 FPS muzzle velocities with .32g airsoft BBs. However, you might get slightly higher speeds with lighter BBs like .20g ammo.
Elite Force/Umarex Glock 17 Gen 4 (G17)
One more great entry into our list of top-selling Glock airsoft guns is this Elite Force airsoft Gen 4 Glock 17 replica. It’s a lot like the other Glock replicas mentioned here and features the same ergonomics and durability, but it does offer one unique difference.
All of the other Glock airsoft pistols mentioned in this list shoot green gas. This one takes CO2. While green gas is smooth shooting and lubricates the airsoft gun, some shooters prefer CO2 cause it kicks harder.
So if you prefer CO2 or are just sitting on a huge pile of CO2 canisters, this is your GBB airsoft Glock replica.
What Accessories Should You Get with a Glock Airsoft Gun
If you’re planning on getting a gas blowback Glock airsoft pistol from Umarex/Elite Force like one of these, here are some of the airsoft accessories you should also get with them.
- Spare gas
Whether you go for a Gen 3 CO2 Glock model or one of the (more common) top-sellers that shoots green gas, you won’t want to be without refills. You should store a few canisters in your vest, too.
- Spare mags
Always carry at least one spare loaded mag with you into a match. We recommend carrying two extra, or more if you can spare the space.
- Spare ammo
Carrying spare airsoft ammo should go without saying, which brings us to the next point…
- An ammo pouch
You need a place to carry that ammo, and it needs to be easily affixable to your vest. We sell collapsible models that will hold a thousand or more BBs.
- A speed loader
Loading BBs is tough without the help of a speed loader, so make sure you pack one of those into your vest, too.
- A holster
A Glock replica is no good if you can’t carry it comfortably and access it as needed. Get a model that allows you to carry your Glock replica as you like but which you can still easily and swiftly access.
- A tactical vest
A tactical vest for airsoft is a must. You need to be able to carry all of these accessories (and likely more) and organize them effectively.
Nice to Have:
You don’t necessarily need to pair these with your new Glock airsoft gun, but some of them will improve your competitive abilities during a match.
- Laser sights
Get a laser sight you can mount to your airsoft pistol’s trigger guard or to the rail under the barrel. It will give you the ability to fire rapid, accurate shots, even offhand and in the dark.
- Weapon lights
The next best thing to a laser sight is a weapon light. Like laser sights, you can mount weapon lights to the rail under the barrel or to the trigger guard, and they can be used in engagements as well as for utilitarian purposes. Remember, being able to see your opponents in the dark is a significant tactical advantage.
