 Back in September of 2017 Umarex received a long-awaited license to produce the Glock 19 in a BB repeater, and here it is! Whether you're plinking in the backyard or looking for a simulator for your cartridge sidearm of the same moniker, the arrival to the market of this five-star-rated CO2 powered pistol will bring a smile to many shooter's faces! The only user complaint seems to be it's not a blowback action as with many other CO2 facsimiles, but my guess is Umarex will remedy that in the near future with a "Gen 2." Meanwhile just enjoy this fraternal twin and for $69 what's not to love about free practice for your beloved G19. Ed. Their text below:
The Glock 19 is here at last! One of the most popular handguns of all time has finally made its debut as a .177 BB repeater. Built as a compact version of its big brother the Glock 17, the Glock 19 Gen. 3 has won over fans worldwide for its iconic design, and reliability. Now, built as an officially licensed semi-auto BB slinger, load up a single CO2 cartridge to send 16 BBs downrange at speeds up to 410 fps! Your tactical training sessions just became a lot more affordable thanks to a switch away from the 9x19 rounds used by the real steel. Each Umarex Glock 19 includes fixed sights set into a metal slide with offical Glock markings. For those who love accessories, the 19 features an integrated Weaver accessory rail ideal for flashlights and lasers. If you want a solid CO2 pistol brought to you by some of the best CO2 airgun makers in the business, pick up the Umarex Glock 19 CO2 Air Pistol and introduce a real steel replica to your training arsenal.  Named after the supreme, ancient and angry Slavic God of wind, the Stribog is an aluminum frames semi-auto sold in Europe as a sub gun with a shoulder stock. Here in the US you can purchase an adapter for a pistol brace (or stock, with your relevant SBR tax stamp) for what promises to be a serious contender to the CZ Scorpion. Shipping with a threaded barrel, rails galore, M-LOK accessory mounts, steel flip-up sights and a 20-round magazine, this promises to be a lot of fun at the range and a viable home defense piece. Grand Power was founded in 2002 by Jaroslav Kuracina and is one of the up-and-coming firearms brands worldwide, winning awards at IPSC and proving its worth on the battlefield. Ed.
Here it is on Eagle Imports: https://grandpower.eagleimportsinc.com/grandpower/firearms/stribog-series  The 10 round version just released today. Interesting pistol with sight protecting slide cap that, once removed, allows for the attachment of your reflex optic. MSRP: $1,049/Street: $899. This from their site: the FN 509® Tactical, an extension of the FN 509 family, is based on FN’s submission pistol that the U.S. Army tested for its Modular Handgun Trials, but includes the significant improvements to the design that were implemented in the FN 509. The pistol features the company’s patent-pending Low-Profile Optics Mounting System™ that enables the platform to accept more than ten commercially-available miniature red dot (MRD) optics that co-witness with the suppressor-height night sights and remain adaptable to future optics releases with no requirement of direct milling of the slide. The slide cap, for use when not shooting with an optic, has raised sight wings that protect iron sight alignment if the pistol is dropped or jostled, and provides a textured ramp for racking the slide against a belt loop, pant pocket or boot. An FN-signature 4.5-inch, cold hammer-forged, stainless-steel barrel with target crown, ½” x 28 threads that accept the bulk of 9mm suppressors available and thread cap with integrated O-ring to prevent loosening during use complete the top end. Lastly, the 24-round magazines, nearly identical in length to the pistol’s slide, maximize ammunition capacity without impacting carry convenience.

Folks may imagine they'd like a SMG but the reality of private ownership is sobering when it comes to feeding them; bit like that monster truck with a Hemi and all the bells and whistles, when money's suddenly tight it feels more like an albatross than an eagle! Satisfy your longing for full auto with the new Crosman DPMS SBR and keep your hard-earned dollars for what counts. Just my 2 cents. GOM (Text from their collateral material below.)
