Ah, the Glock 17 Gen 5 in 9mm PAK ! Let me tell you about this little gem that I recently had the pleasure of handling in my armoury. It's a blank replica that's sure to turn heads, believe me!
Technical characteristics of the glock 17 gen 5 pistol
Let's start with the basics. This blank pistol is a true masterpiece of precision, faithful to the original used by our police forces. At 20.2 cm in length, it's comfortable to hold, even for the biggest of palms.
Size and capacity
Le Glock 17 Gen 5 - 9mm PAK fires 9mm PAK calibre ammunition. Its stainless steel magazine can hold up to 17 rounds. That's more than enough to let an intruder know that he's not welcome in your home!
Materials and design
The cylinder head is made from zamak, a robust alloy, while the frame is made from polymer. This combination offers an excellent balance between lightness and strength. I particularly like the absence of an external hammer, which gives the gun a streamlined profile.
Ergonomics and safety
The 'safe-action' trigger with its integrated safety pedal is a real plus in terms of safety. The serrations on the front of the bolt make it easy to handle, even with sweaty hands. And for left-handers like me, the ambidextrous controls are a real relief!

- Blank cartridges

What's more, with the addition of a special tip, you can even shoot rubber bullets. Now that's what I call versatility!
