HFC Glock 33 By Rick Phillips Published: December 2, 2004 PrintEmail
I've had this gun for about a year now, and I think it's about time someone wrote a review for it...
Appearance: Being that this was a Christmas gift, I couldn't complain. Fortunately there isn't much to whine about: The Version I got has a Silver Slide, which (on mine at least) has no blemishes or thick areas. Unlike the Sig P226, and yes, there is a mold line... but, rest assured it isn't a prominent one. Otherwise, this gun is pretty spiffy.
Magazines: They hold 12 BBs, and they make up about 1/3 of the guns weight. There is a useless "loading" hole near the bottom on the left side of the clip, occasionally a BB will roll out while loading it. If you so wish, you can cover the hole with tape or something from the inside. The magazines are pretty fat and feel solid, but the weights inside may rattle, so you will probably want to coat the weights/inside the weight compartment with tape as well... They are very easy to load, and they will never spill out of the top (ala Tanfoglio Witness).
Power: This gun isn't the Most powerful, but it is the only HFC gun that I have USED to date that features a functional hop-up (HFC USP Match, Sig P226 and Glock 17) anyway, the Glock will put a good dent in the soda can test... (The test was done recently, and the gun is a year old) and it can pierce through the foam case it comes in... That isn’t a good gauge for power I guess, but it leaves pretty good sized welts though...
Range: The guns max range is about 100+ feet (my yard is 107 feet long) it will travel the whole distance, without me having to tilt it up- it used to anyway, it now goes 4/5 the distance.
Durability: The gun has been thrown 20 feet out of my thigh holster twice while trying to be cool... it has been dropped many times, and the only damage it has sustained from them is a lot of scratches, (BTW, do not get the silver and black version like i did), when the paint wears off, in some spots, it either reveals white plastic, or scratches to reveal black... the black version will not scratch to reveal white or anything that noticeable) However, the struts holding the spring piston, snapped 6 weeks ago, (when it turned about 11 months old) I got that taken care of though, If you don't want this to happen to you, try not to fire the gun when the slide is locked back.
Accuracy: this gun is surprisingly accurate with its short 1 1/2 inch barrel (estimate). I can easily hit a head sized target at ranges of around 40 feet (used to be 60ft) unless the BB decides to be evil and curve sharply in a random direction... If you don't care much for accuracy, you can cock it multiple times if you want a shotgun effect...
Overall: I feel that I have left something out... anyway
if you like the way it looks, then I would totally recommend this gun, I am thinking of buying another myself, now that I have learned how to cock a pistol with one hand; if you want to get it with a lot of stuff like ammo, clips, silencer etc, then I would recommend www.Airsoftshogun.com, their ammo/accessories are cheap, and they have good service...
If you think I missed something/this review was un-good etc. PM me. BTW, I had to use an alternate email because this thing doesn't like mine. - 238 Views - View Comments (0)
