Tokyo Marui Glock 17L Spring
Introduction
This gun I have is… old. I mean, my Dad bought it before I even played airsoft! Perhaps I could right a review about it.
This is the Tokyo Marui Glock 17L Spring. It is a longer version of the G17, my friend’s got the 17, testing them, the 17L is more accurate because it has a longer barrel.
Looks
This Glock has all the Glock looks. The main difference from other Glocks is the longer barrel and slide. It looks a bit weird, but I got used to it after a few days.
Like all Tokyo Marui guns, this Glock has all the trademarks:
Slide: Left hand side: Glock 17L Austria 9x19
Grip: Left hand side: Glock logo; Right hand side: Tokyo Marui Co. Ltd., Made in Tokyo, Japan.
Magazine: Base: Glock Logo
Feel
The TM G17L is VERY light. The only weight I can feel is the magazine. Other parts are all plain plastic, although they are high quality. It has metal inner barrel and spring.
The trigger has this little thing in the middle which is a safety. You have to press it in order to pull the whole trigger down and fire. This is also a nice little feature.
The other safety is under the ejection port where there is a thing which can be pushed up and down. It is very hard to push so you have to use both hands. Down for SAFE and up for FIRE.
Performance
Shooting the first TM springer I’ve ever fired, it was more powerful than I thought it would be. I pulled back the slide and shot at the target paper. It made a big deep hole in it. After a few shots, I got the middle. This is the most powerful springer I’ve ever shot.
Skrimish
The week after I tried the gun out I was out with my cousins. We went to a place where they are loads of tall grass and played an easy game there.
First of all, I shot one of them with one shot and then he called out. The other time my team was trying to shoot with his Mini-electric but it all went in different directions. I smiled to myself as the person ducked into the grass, then I shot into the grass and heard it hit something. Then the person called himself out.
Pros:
- solid, tough
- very accurate and powerful
- hop up
Cons.
- too light
- sometimes annoying because you need to cock every time to shoot (that’s spring)
Conclusion
I recommend this gun to any airsoft players who’re looking for a cheap and powerful springer. It is also a nice gun for collectors.
