Array
Gear  |  Gadget
I love this BrickGun GLOCK 17 model, it looks like a gun made up of Lego bricks. Like all the BrickGun models, the GLOCK 17 is 1:1 scale, fitting in your hand just like an actual pistol. It incorportes many of the design details of the real GLOCK so that it looks and feels as authentic as we believe you can get with Lego. The BrickGun GLOCK 17($TBD) captures the style and function of the real GLOCK to a tee. Pull the slide back and the internal striker is cocked. Pull the trigger and the striker falls with a sharp "click". The slide can also be locked open, just like a real GLOCK when the magazine has been emptied. Flip the lock down with your thumb and the slide slams shut, ready to "fire" again.
