Thanks Guges.

What about the alumium slides?.

I thought the WE ones were zinc alloy like all of the other brands.
WE Tech Slides since 2020 are Aluminum Alloy, go read their company literature!! So are the metal parts of the lower frame, that's not Polymer!!

And WE Tech is CNC finishing ALL their new GBBP, you CAN'T CNC Zinc anything, alloy or not, it's too brittle. Again, READ their company literatire.

Majority is zinc alloy. Meaning it's more zinc than aluminum, but zinc allys have up to a 15% content of aluminum.

No, not true...some of their legacy models are still zinc alloy slides.

For which model do they say its "aluminum".

This one doesn't

Nor this one

Not this one either.

Their specs and info is rather lacking.

It's truely a shame when someone trys to always be a "Know-it-all" and just make a fool out of themselves.

NONE of those are North American models, I spoke to USA SOLD MODELS

I have another 5, but your site limits only uploading these as my Evidence of PROOF of USA / CANADA WE Tech Aluminum Models!

If you need any help extracting your Foot from your Mouth ..... call the Triple A.

How about you trying to stay on topic?

Nice deflection...but the thread is about Glocks and you saying WE slides are aluminum ("go read their company literature" Evike website is not their company literature}...you failed to prove either. Often these distributor who drives their website info is wrong. Your not naive...and you know better.

And don't be mad...I have been in the industry and seek facts...

Show the facts...not the hyperbole to to guide the new users...don't confuse them with your personal opinion.

Topic is Good Glocks...not what you think is good with "aluminum" slide of which NONE are Glocks.

Great question and one that’s sparked many debates over BBs and burgers at the field.

The Umarex Glock 45 Gen 5 and the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 are both top-tier airsoft Glocks, each bringing solid performance and realism to the table. But if you're aiming for the better all-rounder, I’d go with the Glock 17 Gen 5 especially the one from Airsoft Station
Here’s why:

Realistic feel
The G17 has that full-size, service pistol heft that just feels right in your hands. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of airsoft sidearms.

More versatile
Better holster compatibility, easier to mod, and generally more forgiving for both CQB and field play.

Performance
Crisp blowback, accurate out of the box, and built to last. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or mag-dumping maniac, the G17 keeps up.

The G45 is no slouch. It basically marries a G19 slide to a G17 frame, giving it a compact look with a full grip. Tactical? Yes. Necessary? Not really, unless you're going for specific aesthetics or hand feel.

In short, if you're asking which is best for most airsoft players, the Umarex Glock 17 Gen 5 wins by a hair and a few extra FPS.

You’ll find it fully stocked and ready for action at Airsoft Station

How Long Have You Worked For Airsoft Station ????
Sounds Like an INFOMERCIAL!

You got one thing right, EF (Umarex) Glocks sure do have the "real feel" of any Glock, Best Known For the WORST TRIGGERS IN ALL OF Pistol Manufacturing!

If You Like the Feel of a Never Endingly LONG Trigger Pull Through Gritty Sand .... By All Means, Buy a POS EF Glock of ANY model.
