I don't know if this is new, but yeah check it out! It doesn't say for what G17, but most likely it will be for TM's model...starting to like glocks right about now.

What's the deal with all the extra greyness?

I don't get it. What would be better about it over the original?

[DarkLite]

Damn, I thought this was a frame with no rail or finger grooves

Bugger.

[Mathub]

Railed ??

They claim to have glock fidelity, but funny how they only show the right side.

That would be because it looks to be made of a heavyweight polymer like the real one.
the dull grey look is because the camera lighting isn't being reflected like it would from an ABS frame.
I only wish they had done a Gen2 version as I don't like the rail much

[BigAl]

I was hope ing for gen one OD no rail, r at least no rail, bugger. Still should go nice with one of those anodised slides that was on the news page.

You know, the normal TM frame really looks one heck of a lot more like the real one than this grey thing.

Shizzle.

Hmmm...original Glock frame without silly finger-grooves...

Or even the original-original, and use a stainless barrel and white lettering and make yourself a Glock 17 prototype

I thought that about Sig P226 grips...they look "grey" compared to the sh!tty shiney plasticky mank-jobs Marui used.
Grey in an airsoft photo usually just means matte finish IMHO
The pictures of the KSC Mk23 Heavyweight frame look "grey" too but in reality its a thing of beauty
Flat matte black with a hint of grey-green...perfect!
Marui have the annoying tendency of making the slide and frame the exact same colour and finish which isn't very realistic for replicas aluminium or polymer framed guns...
Even their old G17 springer had serrations on the slide paint job to make it look like parkerised steel (and different to the slide)...

Hot damn. I might have to sell a few WAs to pimp out the TM G17...

[snowman]

Pimp a G17...?

Like Pimping a Vauxhall Nova...


Cheers.

would that make the Glock 17 ,the "the pistol choice of chavs" ?

[Sale]

That would be because it looks to be made of a heavyweight polymer like the real one.

The real one is not made froma a heavy polymer. The frame is actually much lighter than even the ABS frame of a KSC. And it's shiny too.

all the gen 1 Glock 17s I have held have had the cold,matt, dense frame similar to the KSC HW Glock 19 !
it might be lighter but much closer in looks and feel to the HW frames

Also the material ,whilst looking black shows up way lighter under camera.
Whether this has been changed in later models I would not know as 3rd generation Glocks are a rarety here.
