Simo does unboxing and initial testing of the BATON Airsoft Glock 19X MOS, a CO2-powered gas blowback pistol. He notes that this licensed Umarex model arrives with various mounting plates for red dot sights, though he admits he doesn’t actually own any optics to put on them. The gun sports a tan finish that sits somewhere between gold and desert sand, providing a nice break from the endless sea of black Glocks usually seen at the range.
During the shooting session, the pistol reveals a mild recoil profile compared to other CO2 models, making it feel more like a standard gas gun on a warm summer day. While it started with a few erratic shots that behaved like tiny boomerangs, the trajectory eventually smoothed out after a bit of break-in. Simo pointed out a slightly annoying trigger safety that felt a bit too prominent, almost as if the gun was trying to play a small prank on his finger every time he pulled the trigger.
Despite the chilly 15°C weather, the airsoft Glock showed impressive gas efficiency, lasting through about six full magazines on a single CO2 bulb. The high-profile front and rear sights are designed to clear a suppressor or red dot, even if they currently just provide a nice view of the empty air where a sight should be. Overall, the performance was steady enough to satisfy anyone looking for a reliable, low-recoil CO2 sidearm that won't kick their hand into their neighbour's garden.
