Elite Force Fully Licensed GLOCK 19X Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol (Type: Green Gas / Tan)

"First of all, the accuracy I've been getting out of this thing is far exceeding even my highest expectations. In complete seriousness, it's about as accurate as a carbine length aeg with an rhop shooting 350 fps with .20s . I'm seriously impressed with the overall performance coming out of a gbb with a 2" inner barrel. Elite force cut no corners when making this beast andid expect nothing less than the best from the greatest gbb manufacturer that I know of. Keep up the good work elite force. I love your everything!.

PS: this thing, when paired with a stock,noveske amplifier and foregrip makes one of the scariest, lightest, sexiest, jaw dropping, envy and fear enducing guns in the history of airsoft. You get the accuracy of a full length rifle, the sound of an actual 9mm and the stability of a rifle while still retaining the weight of a pistol. And for some reason it hurts way more than an aeg shooting at the same speed according to my many victims. It gets alot of attention on the feild and I've used it as a primary in many games In differing ranges. I'd still buy this if the price tag was triple. If you don't have an elite force Glock, get one now and treat it well

"Elite Force Glock 19x...

I'm not the biggest Glock fanboy, but I had to see what all the fuss was about.. I didn't expect much from this Glock 19x nor was I expecting anything, but boy am I surprised by it's performance. Skip to Pros & Cons at the bottom of the page if you don't want to read a novel. After putting over 1000 rounds in a little over 2 days, I am baffled. It is small, compact, but powerful and accurate. Using EMG Bio .25 BBs, I can confidently tell you this thing has laser accuracy, these pesky kids in CQB arenas will not stand a chance! The Glock 19x has a 19 slide combined with a 17 frame, which is perfect for medium to larger sized hands. Ambidextrous slide release and reversible mag release makes this gun lefty friendly! When the mag release is reversed (to fit left hand users needs), the magazine tends to be sticky and not drop freely from time to time. Whenever you pull the slide to chamber a BB, it feels as if something is about to snap inside the internals, makes me worried something WILL break. Lanyard loop is removable. Orange tip is hard to remove. Simple disassembly of the gun is a little too complicated. Did I mention this thing has virtually NO recoil? You heard that right! Full blowback, but barely any recoil. I couldn't figure it out. I kept shooting my Cybergun Fnx and KWC 1911 Rail Gun and then it hit me, this gun has NO recoil at all! Follow up shots are easy, but trigger is a little too heavy. Also, there is no external safety, the only safety you have on this gun is the trigger safety. Now, is it worth it? For the price, you get all the official Glock trademarks, a gun, and endless fun. The pricing is debatable.

Pros:
~ no recoil, whatsoever
~ Good on gas efficiency (tested in California heat up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit)
~ Nice, small, and compact
~ powerful and accurate
~ Fully licensed! Trademarks everywhere!!!
~ Left handed friendly!

Cons:
~ Reliability? Too much resistance to pull slide and chamber a BB, feels like something is going to break
~ Sticky mag when mag release is reversed
~ No aftermarket support yet (New gun), unsure if older Elite Force Glock after market parts will fit
~ No external safety, just doesn't feel right..
~ Price

"What a fantastic gun, very glad I waited for this over a standard 17 or 19. Feels great in the hands, shoots great and very accurately, easy to use external Hopup adjustment, great snappy recoil even with green gas. Very nice fit and finish. Buy it, seriously, it’s great.

I have found no cons to mention.

"The box has this very noticeable dark earth color scheme instead of the white backdrop on the previous Umarex Glock offerings and is labeled GEN 3 on the front lip cover. The pistol itself has this two tone coyote color with the slide darker than the lower frame very similar to the steel version. I have shot more than 200 rounds since I received it and here are my comments on the pistol:

PROS; - Impressive gas efficiency. I have managed to full reload almost 5 magazines on a single gas charge
- Snappy recoil pretty much identical to the Glock 19 version
- Ease of adjusting the hop up without disassembling the entire slide. I have some "CONS" on this too below
- Descent hop up bucking- I tried to load .30 grams BB with no problem.
- Slide color coating seems to be more durable compared to the previous VFC Glock models. I sprayed mine with a clear dead flat spray paint for protection and you can' barely notice it's coated.
- Ambidextrous slide release and reversible magazine catch.
- The magazine is nicely done complete with round count indicators and trademarks.
- Black inner barrel.
- Appears to be serialized serial number on the box and on the pistol itself.

CONS: - I do not play in the field and as an avid airsoft collector, I do remove the orange tip. Removing this is a challenge. Whatever you do, do not use heat to melt it or crumple it, it does not come off by pulling. The only way I found was to cut the tip to the brim then push the other remaining half downward towards the chamber. The orange tip serves as the inner barrel spacer too so you will have to wrap some tape on the inner barrel tip to stabilize it.
- Outer barrel is too plain with no threads for attachments or "Fake" barrel grooves.
- I have encountered a situation (on a .28 gram BB) where the exact hop up adjustment is in between the two "clicks".
- Pricey magazine and the pistol itself

Overall it's a keeper.

"works great, perfect side arm for milsim or regular play, only complaint is the hop up chamber system that it uses, it doesn't like to be disassembled outside of the factory I had my local field swap the bucking out like normal and I noticed that the bb's would roll out of the barrel and not have "hop" even at max "hop" I tried fixing it but seemed to have fixed the issue myself would not recommend swapping the bucking out unless truly truly needing to

"I am so glad that Glock finally licenses replicas of their guns. See how great it is to play in the reindeer games? Looks to me that the previous review covers the technical aspects so I am just going to mention what really impresses me and what really annoys me.

Impressed: hop up system. Thanks for making it so easy. Glock 19x, thanks for making available..... in the US, really tired of airsoft mike and the other European clowns doing reviews on guns I cant legally obtain without playing the import confiscation challenge.

Really annoyed with: you really couldn’t have included the two extra back straps for gen 4/5 guns? I bought this gun at a discount (thanks Evike) and it is still comparatively expensive compared to an illegal replica whose Identity WE wont mention here. And those come with back straps. For the $180.00 people pay for this, surely two more pieces of plastic cant cost that much to produce.

Overall very glad to have this replica. Like the other guy I am not a gamer, I just love collecting, plinking or training with these and like him I will remove the tip, or at least the part that does not serve as the spacer between inner and outer barrel. Love the realism and all the trademarks. Nice to have a model that if I decide to sell one day on ebay, I wont get a ended auction and a threatening letter from Glock lawyers. So glad we are all past that now. I would buy the 18c if I didnt have so many ‘not a glock’ replicas of it.

"Very good, but upgrade your internals, especially the hammer (mine broke in two places) I found a nice (all steel) sear set on here that has everything for about 30 bucks (which I have also ordered recently) and magazines are also very expensive, pushing $40+

But other than that, I love this thing, it has a very nice, crisp trigger, with a clean break nice reset, low recoil (VERY good for dry fire) and has good gas efficiency, I get about just over two full mags with each fill, and is also very snappy with each shot.

Overall very nice, and would easily be 10/10 if it wasnt for the internal failure (which is easily fixable) and mags weren't so expensive

"I just want to slap a warning on here for anybody that doesn't know this yet, but be careful with mag selection, the 19x does not fit a standard glock 17 magazine without modifying the grip. The little tang on the bottom of the front of the grip would bump a standard glock magazine base plate not letting you insert the mag. If you've got the 17 and wanted to get this you either have to cut that little bit off or use the 19x mags in both guns as they fit fine (at least they should, the only difference is the color and base plate) I have the 17 and will be planning on getting the 19x next time around but I just wanted people to be aware since it's not explained at all in the description of the magazine compatibility
