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

"Absolutely stunning piece of kit this. Fit and finish just ooze authenticity. It looks better in the flesh, and feels extremely solid. However, a couple caveats; first is the orange tip, and second is the slide being quite resistant to pulling back even with plenty of silicone oil.

ORANGE TIP:

Now to the elephant in the room: the orange tip. A tricky little sod to remove, to put it mildly. Do not attempt to boil or pull it out since it's anchored inside the barrel, and acts as a spacer for the inner barrel. First, you need to cut down the orange tip to where it meets the barrel. Then, take out the barrel assembly. Rest the barrel assembly onto the edge of a desk, make sure to have some padding so you don't damage the barrel. Insert a soft stick like a pencil or chopstick to that little hole on the inner barrel. You should also wrap that stick with a bit of paper towel to prevent damage to the hole. Then gently tap the stick with a mallet, and the inner barrel will come off. Voila! Remember to lubricate the parts well before tapping out the inner barrel, as they have pretty tight tolerance. Now with the inner barrel out of the way, you can just push out the stubborn orange tip, easiest way is to push it back up the barrel. All but done however, since the orange tip also acted as a spacer between the inner and outer barrel, you now need to wrap the inner barrel with some tape to ensure a snug fit when it goes back in. Otherwise you would end up with a floaty inner barrel, causing massive inaccuracy. I wrapped about 1.5mm thick of tape around the spot where the orange tip used to sit.

There you have it, an in-depth instruction. Niggles aside, it's a quality piece of work. Quality.

"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
