Nice and snappy pistol that goes as fast as you can pull the trigger.
By no means are you going to be hitting people from across the field with this gun. Great for CQB and medium ranged firefights, and within 25m it is an amazing sidearm.
Range is decent for the shockingly low FPS, despite being CO2 powered. BBs fly nice and straight with a decent arc without yawing left or right. This pistol is extremely accurate and consistent with it’s accuracy, small tight groupings that can easily be replicated.
Gas consumption is great and mags last at least 2 full mags without noticing a FPS dip. I have literally never had a misfeed or malfunction with this gun that wasn’t my fault.

By the Numbers It by far makes up for its seeming low FPS with extreme accuracy and reliability! I have found no trouble using this in engagements up to 25 yards–though, past that distance, you may have to start arcing your shots. So, while it does have a generally low FPS, it’s made for close combat distances! The table below shows you a more detailed look at how the Elite Force Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 handles different BB weights: BB Weight I do wish they were a little larger for when I wear gloves but for a stock grip, I am pretty happy with them. The finger grooves on the frame are nice but they aren’t so prominent that they get in the way or hurt your hand when shooting for extended periods of time. In fact there are dozens of different grips and backstraps you can use on this handgun making it extremely customizable! This can be fixed by simply getting an extended backstrap that costs a few bucks on Amazon. The only problem is that it’s not terribly deep and when wearing gloves, the slide can catch on the webbing of your thumb. It has a decent beavertail which allows me to get really high up on the gun to give me a low bore axis. The texturing is just the right amount–it’s not so rough that it leaves your hand covered in marks but still gives you a good grip when wearing gloves. It’s slim in all the right places and yet doesn’t slip in my hand like slim framed 1911s. The grip fits my hand so perfectly as if it was made for me.
