Disclaimer: I have never been a fan of, liked the look of or, fired a Glock before.
 
I have been running a TM FNX-45 for a couple of years and whilst it performs fantastic, the lack of all the attachments I could possibly want lead me down the Glock path. Having spent too much time reading and going round in circles and back and forth between the GHK Glock 18 Gen 3, Gen 5 and the TM one, I decided to take a punt on the TM G17 Gen 5 MOS.
 
All I can say is wow, I absolutely love it. It fits and feels so much better in my hands, not small by any stretch of the imagination, than the FNX-45 did, which just felt a bit too big all round. I have only fired and played around with it briefly when it arrived at lunch time today. But, I am a convert!
 
Now all those extras...... 🤣

I don’t “need” 20 glocks… but here we are…
 
I have 5 Gen5 MOS slides and not enough glocks to put them on 😬

A fair point - I'm not sure 'need' is at all applicable to airsoft 😂

since when does "need" come in to it 😆

Orange follower... orange follower... orange follower.

Must… not… buy… another one 😭😭😭

Love me some Tiger Stripe!
 

 
Red Alert on Sunday.

Back in stock again
And mags in stock here: https://www.surplusstore.co.uk/tokyo-marui-g17-gen-5-gas-magazine.html

If you want reasonably simple, try Flames of war. The older stuff is white metal but the more recent stuff and the "Team Yankee" WW3 stuff is all plastic.

Recently found some love for M81 woodland and mixed it with some tiger stripe 
Also was unaware my mate and I were getting our pictures taken, or I’d have sucked it in a bit 😂
 

Same here; that was a great little shop for a while.

It's a shame to see any retailer go that's been around for as long as they have, but they chose to invest a hefty chunk in a new showroom at just the wrong time. Add to that the location not being cheap and airsoft being rather a luxury, the current economic climate was sure to have an effect sooner or later. To be perfectly honest I was more upset when ProAirsoft shut down.

Oh no, what will happen to their forum? Oh wait, they drove that into the ground years ago, nevermind.

These are my cases:
most of them use shadow foam.
however I found a company called max case that do factory fitted generic laser cut foam. So that’s where all my short mags go!

Very few people use the comment on advert function. I see it as quite pointless. PM means someone is more serious in my eyes. 

Definitely - do it before you get tinnitus like me, not nice to live with!

Had a quick go with mine this morning, feels very punchy, decent trigger and weight.
 
Looking forward to kitting it out!

I thought there were a few places selling the new gen2 mags for less than £30… but I’ve just reloaded my tabs and the prices have hiked 😔
 

ended up with a Tan one as well.

I've just picked one up as well and firing it is very nice. I thought it was shooting hot because of the amount of recoil but when I chrono'd it with .2g's it was 290 on ASG green.
 
very nice pistol and works with my other mags but so tempted to get some newer mags because they have better gas efficiency and definitely not because they have a cool orange follower.

Mine just arrived, really impressed by the quality as expected from TM. I have noticed the magazine release feels a bit stiff compared to my Gen 3 G19, probably just a case of breaking it in.
 
The ambi slide release is a nice touch as well, and still fits well in both my Kydex Customs and Safariland holsters. Can't wait to give it a go at the next game!
