mightyjebus Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 Gen 4 will be released the 12th December. full trades as per the original. Gen 5 will probably happen once this batch is completed and they switch tooling. https://impulse101.jp/en/gbb/tokyo-marui-glock-17-gen4-gbb-4988 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njanjic Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 I'm pretty sure this is just a batch a supplier had lying around, since there is no mention of the shipment on TM's website.

I doubt they will have re-engineered the gen4. Theyโll have just re-produced it to the original spec. It was very good at the time and still pretty decent even with the improvements of the gen5. Seems like a lot of added cost. Enid_Puceflange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiantKiwi Posted December 17 Share Posted December 17 (edited) From point of release in Japan to us getting them in the UK is usually 3 - 6 months. In that time period, no more new G17.5 batches have made in the scope of that timetable. ย Gen 5 MOS were released in Japan December 2023, first ones arriving in the UK were February 2024 - so they were the December 2023 batch of production. The only glocks shipped by TM for 2024 were the G19.4's in April. Prior to that, the last G17's (gen 3) prior to that were in May 2023, the last G17.4 reference was back in April 2023.ย ย These gen 4's are probably from that or older batches. There is no mythical new batch, its just old stock. Edited December 17 by GiantKiwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisz Posted December 17 Share Posted December 17 (edited) I had a Gen.5 for a few months or so and I sold it because it's just another glock at the end of day.

FromJapan Posted Wednesday at 03:06 Share Posted Wednesday at 03:06 TM G19 Gen3 & Gen4 about to be released. These are not residual stocks from distributors (like the G17 Gen4 and G18C). These are newly produced batches. TM has sent the release / order sheets a couple of days ago. TM official website release calendar has not been updated, that is all. TM G17 Gen5 will come up some day, like nothing happened. Reason of the "delay" is said to be the plastic materials price increase. Lots of other toy makers had such issues lately.
