GLOCKTOBER!

Celebrate Glock Airsoft & Paintball Pistols with Valken!

When the weather turns crisp, the mornings are cool and the leaves begin to turn, it can mean only one thing: it’s GLOCKTOBER! One of the most prolific and recognizable pistols of the modern age, the Glock silhouette’s simple lines represent a decades-long history of simplicity, reliability and no-frills functionality in the world of firearms. The Glock pistol may not have the romance of James Bond and his Walter PPK, the West-Winning fame of the Colt Peacemaker or the one-liner screen time of the .44 Magnum Smith & Wesson Model 29 in the hands of Dirty Harry Callahan, but the Glock pistol’s reputation is more than secure thanks to its rugged reliability and round-after-round performance in the hands of the world’s militaries, police forces and civilian shooters. While not everyone will agree with Glock’s simple statement – “Perfection” – there’s no denying that Glock pistols from the Glock 17 and Glock 19 to newer models big and small in a myriad of calibers are out there going bang, and have even made it into the wide world of sports in the hands of airsoft and, more recently, paintball shooters!

Glock Airsoft Pistols

Glock has been a go-to name for officially-licensed replica airsoft guns for years thanks to Umarex. Umarex Glock airsoft pistols look and handle like their “real steel” counterparts and are available in a myriad of models, styles and sizes to mirror the Glock product line. Ideal for serious tactical airsoft shooters looking for a true-to-life airsoft pistol that holsters, handles, points and shoots like its firearm cousin, Umarex Glock Airsoft pistols are available in nonblowback, Gas blowback, half blowback and CO2 blowback options, in compact and full-size carry pistol sizes, with even the fully automatic Glock 18C pistol replicated down to the giggle switch! So whether a tactical airsoft shooter is looking for a full-size Glock 17 airsoft pistol, the smaller Glock 19 airsoft pistol, the ultimate military Glock 19X, the fully automatic Glock 18C airsoft pistol or something with a longer slide and barrel like the Glock 34, powered by CO2 or Green Gas, Valken Airsoft offers the ideal Umarex Glock airsoft pistol! Just make sure to grab some extra magazines, plenty of Green Gas or CO2 cartridges, and keep some extra room on the credit card for airsoft BB’s especially if you went with the Glock 18C airsoft pistol!

Glock Paintball Pistol

While, thanks to Umarex, Glock and the Glock logo have been a common sight in the world of airsoft, the same cannot be said for paintball. There have been plenty of paintball pistols over the years, but nothing with the Glock logo on its slide. Until now. Umarex has now brought Glock into paintball in a big way with their newest release, the Glock 17 Gen5 T4E paintball pistol! A .43 caliber paintball pistol powered by a 12gram CO2 cartridge, this new paintball pistol is an extremely welcome addition to an already robust line of paintball pistols from the Umarex T4E line that already includes Walther paintball pistols, Smith & Wesson M&P paintball pistols and even .50 caliber TR50 paintball revolvers! Ideal for affordable and safe force on force tactical training or as the ultimate paintball pistol for magfed paintball that’s as close to real as it gets, the Umarex Glock 17 Gen5 T4E paintball pistol holds 8 paintballs or powderballs in its magazine along with its 12gram CO2 cartridge power source and features everything a Glock shooter is accustomed-to, like front and rear slide cocking serrations, interchangeable backstraps for an ideal fit in the hand, a reversible magazine release and ambidextrous slide stop. The culmination of all this Glock performance is summed up in a word synonymous with Glock since their earliest days on the market: Perfection.

Happy Glocktoberfest!

Whether a Glock airsoft pistol or a new Glock paintball pistol from Umarex and Valken, when it’s time to lower the primary and reach for the secondary in its holster, there’s nothing in the world like a Glock. So whether you’re slinging airsoft BB’s or .43 caliber paintballs back and forth for fun or for the serious business of tactical force on force training, draw, present and pull the trigger with the confidence of Glock! Happy Glocktober from the entire Valken family!
