Airsoft for Glock training?

[Joejitsu]

Okay, I know very little about airsofts but have been doing some research. I'm looking for something that will replicate as closely as possible the feel, mag reloading, semi auto of one of my CCW pistols that I can use in my back yard for every day training. I have a Glock 19, 26, Sig P365 on my CCW. I want something I can practice rapid reloads with (so no skinny weird magazines if possible). Also, blowback is a must as I want to be able to replicate round chambering and malfunction drills etc. I have a decent sized back yard, but I still want to keep the noise down if possible. I don't want any neighbors thinking I'm shooting a real gun in a residential area. Any recommendations?

Look up the Umarex (sometimes sold as Elite Force) airsoft Glock 19. It's a dimensionally-correct copy, licensed from Glock themselves. It has blowback, it has regular-sized magazines rather than those skinny weird magazines, and it fits my real G19 holsters so I can use it to train holster work. I highly recommend it.

I would second that

From my friends that are Glock shooters several have also praised the Umarex pistols as being top notch and fitting all their existing holsters.

The Umarex pistols are officially licensed but their physical dimensions are a few mm larger than real Glock pistols so may not fit all Glock holsters. Fits in my SERPA and this AF Taclight-Friendly holster. https://www.evike.com/products/83486/

Tokyo Marui and WE made more accurate Glock 17/19 GBB pistols but you won't be able to find them from US retailers anymore. Glock and H&K's lawyers threatened to sue US retailers who sold unlicensed copies of their airsoft postols, so you'd have to order Tokyo Marui and WE Glocks direct from Asian retailers or on the used market.

Here in the US, you can buy licensed airsoft Glocks and Glock-like pistols: https://www.evike.com/s/?q=glock+GBB&x=0&y=0

Umarex 17 G4 is oversize as mentioned above. You canput it in a Glock 20/21 holster. Their 19 gen 3 is not oversize and works fine in all my bladetech holsters.

Here's a rough break down of the Glock as an airsoft training gun.
For whatever reason certain Gens of the Elite Force (umarex) glocks don't work with all the glock holsters.

I'd go with that new Glock .22


.22 trainers are always more practical.

You can’t shoot a .22 in the backyard. I have the Umarex G19, id probably go with the G17 if I had to do it all over. The dimensions for the G19 work with my holster and I use it to practice. It’s helped a lot when it comes to mechanics and getting in reps. My matches have improved with using the airsoft Version in my backyard.

I’d go with umarex. I’ve airsofted almost 10 years and most of their stuff you can be pretty rough with. Keep in mind some cities don’t allow airsoft shooting even in backyards. Learned this the hard way when a while back I was shooting it in the backyard at a buddies house, a neighborhood heard the shots of our gas operated airsoft pistols (which aren’t loud but non gun people could think they are real) and got the cops called on us. Cops let us know that within city limits (this was Monrovia) we weren’t allowed to use them. I continued to do it but You do you though
