KSC Model 17...Because they don't make a 21

Postby Forty5ive » Sun Jun 23, 2013 12:41 am

I am looking for an airsoft replica that is 1:1 to a Glock 21. So far I have found a Tokyo Marui, WE, KSC, and KWA but they are all Glock 17/19 replicas. So far the one that stands out the most to me is the KSC Model 17. Its not a model 21 but the Glock 17 is barely smaller than the 21 so I dont think it would be a huge deal (although I would prefer a 21). Here is a link to the model 17 http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/a ... rsion_.htm. Does anyone have experience with KSC replicas? And is there a Glock replica that you would recommend?

Marushin did make a Glock 21 a few years back. Shell ejecting 8mm, so it's not very practical. I think they're discontinued, but you might be able to find one used or from overseas somewhere.

Yeah I saw that one but the thing is that it only holds like six rounds per mag and I would have to find my all shells every time I reload

Best Glock hands down is a TM. Throw a Guarder barrel and slide set on it and you're golden. You can get a slide that has 21 markings on it, but no one besides Marushin makes a 1:1 copy.

My decision has been between the TM and the KSC, bummer neither makes a 1:1 model 21. Anyways, thanks for the info

TM's Glock 17 is actually closer in size to the Glock 21, as it fits in the Glock 21 holsters but not the Glock 17 holsters.

Not really. The frame is a smidge wider than a normal 17, but the grip dimensions are the same as a 17. My TM Glock fits perfectly in my 17/22 Safariland.
