E&C EC17 Gen 3 Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol – Black

Built like the real thing, shoots like it means it. The E&C EC17 G3 GBB pistol is a faithful, hard-hitting take on the classic G17 platform—a sidearm that’s become a global icon for law enforcement, special forces, and action films alike. East Crane (E&C), already known for manufacturing internal parts for major airsoft brands, has stepped up with this full-package GBB pistol. Straight out of the box, it’s ready to handle the demands of skirmish life with a strong blend of realism and performance.

This airsoft pistol features a durable polymer lower frame paired with a robust full-metal slide. That combo offers solid weight without being unwieldy, giving you the realistic feel of a real-steel handgun without compromising on agility. The grip has just the right amount of texture—not too abrasive, but enough to stay planted during sweaty summer games or when wearing gloves. Overall balance is spot on, and thanks to its dimensions, it drops cleanly into most standard airsoft pistols holsters made for G17s.

The EC17 G3’s slide serrations make racking easy under pressure, and the 3-dot low-profile sights allow for fast sight picture acquisition—ideal when corners need clearing, fast. You’ve got the standard control layout with a crisp slide release, tactile mag release, and a trigger-based safety system that mirrors the real thing. E&C even included an under-barrel safety catch, a welcome feature for safe transport or storage, especially if you're not holstering it in a hard case.

Performance-wise, the EC17 sits around 320 FPS on green gas, putting it in a nice middle ground for UK skirmish sites—strong enough to make an impact, but not over any limits. The gas blowback action is sharp, with satisfying recoil that adds to the immersion. It’s the kind of kick that reminds you you’re shooting something with substance. Inside, you’ll find an adjustable hop-up that can be dialled in depending on BB weight or your playstyle. Whether you're running .20g BBs for tight CQB or heavier rounds for outdoor precision, the EC17 gives you the accuracy control you need.

Included in the box is a 26-round gas magazine, metal construction with a reliable feed lip and a reinforced plastic baseplate. It seats with a reassuring click and has a touch of give to absorb the shock of quick reloads or accidental drops. While one mag gets you started, it’s worth picking up extras if you plan to use this as more than a backup. The EC17’s quick response time and tight grouping make it viable as a primary in smaller arenas.

Field stripping the EC17 is intuitive and tool-free—just like its real steel counterpart. That means cleaning, gas maintenance, and hop-up adjustment won’t eat into your game time. And thanks to its compatibility with most aftermarket G17-style parts and accessories, you’ve got room to tweak or upgrade as your kit evolves.

Whether you’re a new player getting serious about your sidearm or a veteran looking for a dependable, well-balanced GBB pistol that holds up under pressure, the EC17 Gen 3 has a lot to offer. It’s responsive, comfortable, and doesn’t cut corners where it counts.
