Which BlowBack Airsoft?

[MixLord]

Looking for a blowback airsoft that uses green gas.. Im going to shoot production, G19 and I'm looking for something with ALOT of recoil.. for dryfire / follow-up sight picture training.. Thank You..

The recoil won't be anything close to a real steel gun but it is more effective for training for handling draws and point shooting etc.

Agreed.. any pointers

This has been my main practice pistol since I retired from competition and police work.  It was also my secret weapon that I used to keep my hand/eye coordination up after I retired completely.  I also have a pair of WE Dragons for my wife and I to shoot against one another on steel challenge targets . Very useful tools as I can shoot in the back yard as the mood to shoot occurs. Do not just use airsoft for dry fire. Smaller targets at shorter range will give you the  sight picture and will require competitive technique to get the confirmation of hits and will only improve your speed and accuracy. Do not listen to the self appointed "experts" on dry fire only. Just pulling the trigger wont make you more accurate without the hits. Pick up a ced airsoft timer to enhance you practice results. Both of the pistols I mentioned use green gas but I only use propane, much cheaper and to keep you from trying to watch the airsoft bbs use only black .25s which will be invisible.The we dragons shoot faster due to the longer barrels about 400 fps on my crono and cycle faster due to a split slide.

They’ve released fully licensed Glock pistols from Elite Force Umarex. I think just about any airsoft distributor has them. Gen 3 19,17 and a Gen 4 17. Like others have said recoil is not like a real pistol but these airsoft pistols perform well and are quite helpful is practice/reps.

Never competed with glocks except in the Police Olympics as you had to shoot your duty gun. On of the years I won I carried a Sig 220 in 45 acp, great gun, still have it and is my choice for serious business if I cant take a ar15 or a shotgun. My glock was a 22 and I carried a 26 as a boot gun. In PPC i used a compensated 1911 38 super which has more power and shoots flatter. If a glock is what you carry then you need a glock to practice with, remember to look into the ced airsoft timer as it keeps ya honest and shows improvement results.Good luck.

The best blowback AEGs/rifles on the market are the Tokyo Marui "Recoil Shock" Next Generations.

 

I don't have a lot of gas blowback pistol experience, but the Glock 17/19 made by Elite Force (or Spartan if you have MIL/LE credentials) are good. Same dimensions as a real Glock, balance is a little different, but close enough to be valuable for cross-training.
