Just wondered what peoples thoughts on the Tokyo marui Glock 17 gen5 mos were and how long these new releases normally take to touch down this side of the water, I’m torn between ordering a gen4 or holding out for the gen5 bit on the fence as I’m not a massive fan of the the slide colour of the gen 5 but thinking performance wise it’s got to be a step up

Redesigned BBU, MOS cut for optic plates but typically only fits Maruis RDS.

Carbon reinforced plastic and new mag design too.

 
Have been eyeing these myself, despite having a Gen 4. Hyperdouraku did a decent write up.  Apparently 20% more gas capacity due to new magazines with different internals (not just orange follower) as well as a stronger kick from redesigned BBU.   Video with more details and test firing too. Machsaki has done a couple of reviews too.

Not necessarily. The more weight you put on the slide the more you lose on gas efficiency. In this case I'd assume most people would run some kind of optics on it.

Probably it takes a few months to get here if you don't want to buy it from Japan or HK.

I've got the very old design Gen.3 and the newer Gen.4 and I love them both.

I can’t from memory recall Marui hitting the crossbar 

I’d wait and get the gen 5 unless I was bursting to get a pistol (which I hardly use anyhoo)

Did you give them your UKARA or site membership number for the package ?

 
The mags disassemble through pins, which I think is a step backwards. The slide is apparently a new material, which should be good. I read that the mags were improved because of the diecast material, but they said that about the Gen.4 as well. Also it seems to have the same 15mm BBU as the Gen.4, although presumably a different shape.

Don't forget it also depends if you like finger groves on your grip or not.

As a RIF I think it's cool if it's from a film, show or game you really like. I'm not sure what the Gen.5 17 has been featured in yet?

I will also add it depends on what you want to do with it. I've just done a full FDE Gen.4 build with 100% Guarder upper, it's beautiful and works very well. They're working on it as we speak, but it'll be a while before Guarder parts are readily available.
