Glock 45 with metal slide GBB black - VfC

Long have Glock fans wished for a replica of the world-famous Austrian pistol series. For a long time, this wish was not pursued. But the wait is over: one of the most iconic pistol series in the world is now entering the airsoft world, and finally, the officially licensed airsoft Glocks are available with us! The latest creation from Glock is now also available as an airsoft replica. This is the Glock 45, a pistol that has grown in the shadow of the well-known Glock 19X and represents a crossover between the Glock 19 and Glock 17. The popular grip of the Glock 17 and the compact slide of the Glock 19 have been combined to ensure enormous maneuverability with high magazine capacity. The Vega Force Company has meticulously replicated this bestseller in 9 mm Luger caliber. Here, VFC addresses both players and collectors alike – because the Glock 45 GBB not only looks like its live counterpart, but it is also just as much a workhorse. The grip of the Glock 45 is made from a composite plastic that closely resembles the original. It is textured at all relevant points, ensuring a secure grip even with wet or sweaty hands. Since the grip is a Generation 5 grip, it also features an integrated magwell, which significantly facilitates reloading, especially under stress. Once you've had a magwell, you never want to go without it. The magazine release is easy to operate even for smaller hands, without being "floppy." Moreover, it can also be easily converted for left-handed shooters. The slide catch engages cleanly after the last shot and can also be released solidly from both sides. In front of the trigger guard, there is a rail, allowing all common pistol LLMs (dummies) and smaller scope cams to be attached. In the middle of the rail, there is a continuous serial number embedded – just like the original. Above this, the F in the pentagon is subtly placed. The grip and the slide are rounded at the front, making holstering with hard shell holsters much easier. The slide is made entirely of metal and features a very well-executed coating. Only the three-dot sight, which we already know from the Glock 19 and Glock 19X, as well as the backplate of the slide, are made of high-quality plastic. The front and rear areas of the slide have notches that make reloading or "power stroking" under difficult conditions much easier. The weapon can be disassembled just like the original. Initially, releasing the safety latch can be a bit stiff, but this eases over time. All parts, including the internals, fit very precisely and without play. Essential parts of the trigger group are made of steel, but all are made of metal. Unlike other Glock models from VFC, the hop-up can be adjusted without disassembling the pistol. To do this, simply insert the included hop-up (a standard Allen) key into the spring guide rod and turn it clockwise. However, we recommend disassembling and cleaning the pistol after 1-2 game days. Some models are very heavily lubricated from the factory. It may be advisable to free the weapon from some of the lubricant. The barrel and inner barrel, along with the hop-up chamber, fit together neatly. Unfortunately, we had to find that the coating of the outer barrel wears off quickly on most VFC models. To counteract this wear, we recommend applying a few drops of lubricant to the chamber. The trigger of the Glock 45 features, just like the original, a trigger safety and breaks cleanly. The reset is also virtually unbeatable for a pistol "out of the box." A quick and controlled rate of fire is absolutely no problem with this airsoft replica. The blowback of the Glock 45 GBB is also impressive, or rather, can be felt. All in all, the system is extremely crisp and efficient. The included gas magazine holds 22 rounds. Unfortunately, the weapon is only partially compatible with magazines from other manufacturers. WE or KJW magazines work in the weapon, but they fit very tightly. The best results were achieved with the original Glock/VFC magazines, green gas, and 0.28g BBs. We strongly advise against operating the weapon with CO2 magazines, as it is not designed for that. However, the weapon can be fired with red gas in colder temperatures. Overall, VFC, in cooperation with Glock, delivers a reliable and well-thought-out pistol that is suitable for both players and collectors and is a must-have for all Glock enthusiasts.
