RETAY G17 BLANK GUN - BLACK

This is the RETAY G17, basically one in the same as the G19C, but just w/ G17 printed on the slide. This is perhaps apt, as the dimensions are closer to that of a GLOCK 17 Gen 3, than a GLOCK 19 Gen 3.

Key Features;

• Polymer frame, nice and lightweight, easy to handle.
• Good immitation of the Gen 4 stippling
• Functional SAFE ACTION trigger / double blade trigger safe.
• Pseudo striker fired
• Open barrel-end, not extensive
• Field strips very similar to a GLOCK - very unique amongst all blank guns
• Lanyard loophole behind the magazine floorplate
• 14+1 shot magazine capacity
• Super reliable.
• Underbarrel rail that works with most Picatinny accessories
• No need to use only the slide catch to reset the slide - you can pull the slide back, to reset the slide. You can also, w/ the slide held open and the magwell empty, chuck a filled magazine into the magwell hard and the slide will automatically reset and chamber the first round. This is one of the only blank guns capable of this. The SUR 2608's slide does reset when pulled back w/ a round loaded in the magazine, however, its slide does not automatically reset when chucking the new / filled magazine in hard enough. (03.08.23 - addendum - this feature can be found on the CEONIC P250 / P320 as well)

The frame is bulkier than that of a GLOCK 17's, featuring the full length frame, w/ a slightly longer frame as well. The cocking serrations on the frame has a bit of width to them, making the slide really easy to rack. The absence of a hammer, implies naturally that this pistol is striker fired, however, this pistol actually has a hammer inside of the slide, making this pistol a pseudo-striker fired pistol. 
The frame as mentioned, is Gen 4 stippled - periodical square box texturing that runs atr a sloped angle, perpendicular to the angle of the handle.
The slide catch you'll note likewise, is cross-serrated for added traction and then underscoring this tab or "slide stop" as its also known, would be a bump moulded into the frame. The frame otherwise, is retained to the upper by means of knurled roller pins.

The extractor lever is on the right, featuring a double / stacked set of them, which operates easier / allows for more reliable extraction.

The barrel here measures 4.17”, being female threaded at the front to accomodate the included flare tip adapter.

The sights atop the slide is loosely resemblant to those on a GLOCK. Also of note, is that the slide does not feature the two compensator slots that the G19C used to sport, which most end users appreciate. The slide interior houses the spring loaded firing pin assembly

The magazine capacity is 14 rounds, double / staggered stack, in 9x22mm P.A.K calibre and as one might expect - it does accept all types of blank cartridges, pepper, etc.

The trigger as indicated above, consists of a double blade assembly, w/ the secondary / forwardly positioned one acting as a safety lever that has to be pulled, before the actual trigger connected to the sear will be able to toggle. It of course is just an immitation of the SAFE ACTION® trigger, mechanically dissimilar to the aforementioned system, but works similar to it. The trigger guard as you might also note, replicates the GLOCK type, being a convex shape - its purpose usually would be as a holding place for the offhand index finger, to counteract muzzle jump per shot fired, however on a blank gun, this would not be necessary. Though, it is there nonetheless as a replica niche, that can be utilized if so desired.

Please note that this pistol will not fit into a hardshell holster intended for a GLOCK 17, as this pistol's dimensions are not similar to those on a GLOCK 17® - instead, we do recommend using one of the following holsters;

• CYTAC MEGA FIT RIGHT HAND UNIVERSAL HOLSTER
• AMOMAX PER-FIT OWB UNIVERSAL HOLSTER - RH

as these holsters are adjustable to fit most all firearms and likewise, will fit most blank guns. The MEGA FIT by CYTAC comes recommended, as it is of superior quality, w/ the PER FIT being handy as a budget option.

Otherwise, the frame does sport a lanyard loophole behind the magazine floorplate, for affixing a lanyard on to, should you wish to do so. This loophole of course, is made of polymer.

There is an underbarrel rail for affixing Picatinny-compatible accessories on, such as a laser or flashlight, should that be desired.

 Lastly - just a touch on the slide being able to be released by pulling on it if

i. a loaded magazine is loaded into the magwell
ii. the empty magazine that promted the automatic slide hold open is removed

which is a feature we've noticed on the new batch of these RETAY G17's. It could, in the future, be removed for whatever reason at RETAY's discretion. So if you are particular on this feature, please check w/ us first, then we'll confirm on this feature for you  🔫🌞
