The Glock 17 Gen5 T4E .43 is the first officially licensed Glock training pistol, designed to realistically replicate the functionality of a real firearm. Its dimensions, operating mechanism, and manual handling are identical to the original, making it compatible with a wide range of Glock accessories. With robust German construction and high-quality craftsmanship, this model is ideal for both law enforcement training and recreational paintball shooting.
The pistol’s design features a polymer frame and a CNC-milled aluminum AW 7075 slide. Its dimensions match the combat-ready Glock 17 Gen5, allowing for the use of original accessories such as Safariland and Blackhawk holsters or tactical flashlights. Licensed Glock markings on the frame and slide emphasize the model’s authenticity.
The mechanical operation mirrors the original Glock, incorporating the SAFE ACTION trigger system with a trigger safety, an ambidextrous slide release, and a reversible magazine catch. The front and rear slide serrations improve grip for easier manipulation, even while wearing gloves or in challenging conditions. A lanyard attachment point is integrated into the lower grip for tactical use.
The pistol features mechanical iron sights with standard white contrast markings, enabling quick target alignment, even in low-light conditions. A Picatinny rail is located at the front of the frame for attaching accessories such as a laser sight or tactical flashlight. Additionally, the grip is compatible with original Glock 17 Gen5 grip backstraps (not included), allowing for a customized fit.
The Glock 17 Gen5 T4E .43 is powered by a standard 12 g CO2 cartridge, which is installed in the magazine. The installation process requires no additional tools—the capsule is secured with a metal locking ring and tightened using a built-in screw at the magazine’s base. The magazine accommodates both the CO2 cartridge and eight .43-caliber rounds (approximately 11 mm). Depending on the ammunition type, projectiles can reach a maximum velocity of 250 fps. A full CO2 capsule allows for approximately 40 consistent shots.
The pistol is compatible with various types of ammunition, making it suitable for different applications. Rubber balls are ideal for tactical training and reactive target shooting, pepper balls release an irritant powder upon impact, and paint-filled rounds are commonly used in paintball games. This versatility makes the model applicable for self-defense and professional training purposes.
The Blowback system enhances realism by generating slide recoil with each shot, simulating real firearm operation. Once all rounds are fired, the slide locks back. The slide can be released using the ambidextrous slide release lever or by manually pulling it back. The manual handling of this pistol is identical to that of the original Glock 17 Gen5, making it an excellent training tool.
The SAFE ACTION trigger mechanism features an integrated trigger safety that ensures proper finger placement. The trigger reset is relatively short, and the pull weight closely resembles that of a real Glock 17 Gen5, allowing for intuitive handling and enhanced shooting precision.
