T4E GLOCK 17 Gen5 French Army Edition .43

The T4E GLOCK 17 Gen5 French Army Edition in .43 caliber is closely based on the design of the well-known service pistol and is designed for MagFed paintball and training scenarios. The T4E GLOCK 17 Gen5 French Army Edition incorporates many of the design features of the Gen5 series and combines them with a CO₂-powered marker system.

Manufactured in Germany, the T4E GLOCK 17 Gen5 French Army Edition combines a polymer frame with a CNC-milled aluminum slide. This creates a robust platform with clearly defined recoil behavior thanks to the blowback system. For players who use a pistol as a backup in a MagFed setup or deliberately play in pistol-only mode, the T4E GLOCK 17 Gen5 French Army Edition offers handling that is very close to the well-known original.

French Army Edition with special features

The T4E GLOCK 17 Gen5 French Army Edition differs visually and functionally from the standard version. The coyote-colored grip, which gives this edition its name, is particularly striking.

The scope of delivery includes four original GLOCK backstraps, which can be used to adjust the grip circumference to different hand sizes. In addition, the T4E GLOCK 17 Gen5 French Army Edition has a removable lanyard loop.

The marker is delivered in the original GLOCK transport case, including a replacement tool and spare magazine. This means that a complete set is available right away.

CO₂ system and magazine design

The T4E GLOCK 17 Gen5 French Army Edition works with a 12 g CO₂ capsule, which is housed directly in the magazine. The magazine holds eight .43 caliber pellets and can be changed on the playing field without tools.

The capsule drive is pierced when the magazine is inserted. A quick-piercing magazine is available as an option, in which the CO₂ capsule is only activated by striking the bottom of the magazine.

With an energy level of less than 5 joules, the T4E GLOCK 17 Gen5 French Army Edition remains within the typical performance range of modern training and paintball pistols. The recommended ammunition is .43 caliber marking balls or chalk balls, as classic gelatin paintballs can be damaged more quickly due to their design.

Gen5 controls and accessory compatibility

Many details of the T4E GLOCK 17 Gen5 French Army Edition are based on the live Gen5 version. These include front serrations on the slide, a double-sided slide stop lever, and a reversible magazine catch.

The trigger unit has an integrated trigger safety, as is familiar from GLOCK.

Thanks to its precise dimensions, the T4E GLOCK 17 Gen5 French Army Edition fits into numerous GLOCK-compatible holsters, for example from Blackhawk or Safariland. Many sights from the GLOCK accessories market can also be used.
