Description

Aksa Ak14- Glock 17

The Aksa AK14 model. A Glock 17 Gen 3 type replica and does feature a metal trigger with a fully functional double blade trigger safety. This pistol is somewhat beefy compared to a Glock firearm. The frame is completely polymer, featuring rather aggressive periodical box checkering down the handles in angled formation. Your finger rests here are ambidextrous, for your thumb and index finger to seat on for better agronomy.

The handle, furthermore, features the typical GEN 3 finger grooves with the centrifugal layer box texturing, specifically two rows on the top two finger grooves, whereas the middle finger slot has three rows of the aforementioned. The magazine release is rectangular with vertical grooves for finger traction.

The slide catch release is a rounded-edge rectangle shape that is horizontally serrated. albeit very finely. Under the barrel, we have a Picatinny rail available w/ a single cross-bolt slot positioned slightly forward from the middle of the rail, toward the barrel.

The cocking serrations to the rear of the slide, create seven broad grooves that, in conjunction with the 90° angles of the serrations, will create a non-slip area by which one can confidentially rack the slide. The magazine capacity here is 14+1 and the magazine body has that shiny coating a lot of Turkish manufacturers like to put on the magazines of their blank guns.

Glock (German: [ˈglɔk]; stylized as GLOCK) is a brand of polymer-framed, short-recoil-operated, striker-fired, locked-breech semi-automatic pistols designed and produced by Austrian manufacturer Glock GmbH. The firearm entered Austrian military and police service in 1982 after performing well in reliability and safety tests.

Glock pistols have become the company’s most profitable line of products, and have been supplied to national armed forces, security agencies, and police forces in at least 48 countries. Glocks are also popular among civilians for recreational shooting, competition shooting, and self-defence.

The company’s founder and head engineer, Gaston Glock , had no experience with firearms design or manufacture at the time his first pistol, the Glock 17, was being prototyped. Glock had extensive experience in advanced synthetic polymers, which was instrumental in the company’s design of the first commercially successful line of pistols with a polymer frame. Glock introduced ferritic nitrocarburizing into the firearms industry as an anticorrosion surface treatment for metal gun parts.

In 1980, the Austrian Armed Forces announced that it would seek tenders for a new, modern duty pistol to replace their World War II–era Walther P38 handguns. The Federal Ministry of Defence of Austria formulated a list of 17 criteria for the new generation service pistol, including requirements that it would be self loading; fire the NATO-standard 9×19mm Parabellum round; the magazines would not require any means of assistance for loading; not be subject to accidental discharge from shock, strike, and drop from a height of 2 m (6 ft 7 in) onto a steel plate.

After firing 15,000 rounds of standard ammunition, the pistol was to be inspected for wear. The pistol was to then be used to fire an overpressure test cartridge generating 5,000 bar (500 MPa; 73,000 psi). The normal maximum operating pressure (P_max) for the 9 mm NATO is 2,520 bar (252 MPa; 36,500 psi).

Glock became aware of the Austrian Army’s planned procurement, and in 1982, assembled a team of Europe’s leading handgun experts from military, police, and civilian sport-shooting circles to define the most desirable characteristics in a combat pistol. Within three months, Glock had developed a working prototype that combined proven mechanisms and traits from previous pistol designs. In addition, the plan was to make extensive use of synthetic materials and modern manufacturing technologies, which led to the Glock 17 becoming a cost-effective candidate.
