Romain from Black Bunker has sent over images of their Recover Tactical holster and stabiliser for Glock clones. From what I can see it fits to the railed front end so should be compatible with any Glock framed pistol with a rail:

It’s not a big secret at the moment as the news has been doing the rounds on the local circuits, but Glock (or more specifically their legal team) are currently going after AirSplat. My understanding is that the new lawsuit is about the same old trade dress argument. It would appear that Glock quite simply goes not want any toy replicas that look vaguely close to their designs out there and Kent and his company are now in their sights.
The guys at AirSplat added a blog post and have sent the link over to me to highlight their position.
A lot has changed since the first plastic BB munching machines started to come out of Hong Kong all those years ago via the old brightly coloured (and badly translated) websites. There has been true innovation with a gradual move towards genuinely licensed products at a tiered cost level from the readily available mass produced value products up to the true works of art at a higher cost.
Largely the gradual changes over the years have all been for the best, but big lawsuits tend to do nothing but reduce customer choice, destroy family businesses and fill the pockets of lawyers around the world.
There’s also a helpful post over at the Firearm Blog about what’s going on with some sensible comments on it.
Stand your ground – Glock v AirSplat, Goliath’s attempt to crush David and his community
A very famous quote dating back to WWII fitting for this situation:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out– Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out– Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out– Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me–and there was no one left to speak for me.The point of this poem by Martin Niemoller refers to a time when speaking out loud and standing up for one’s rights could result in death.
In today’s civilized world, we live a very different world. “Stand Your Ground”, which I’m sure many people are familiar with, entails the right for someone to stand their ground and protect both themselves and their property when confronted with life or safety threatening force. It’s an Americanism that many people in the US firmly believe in and live by.

In today’s busy and robust world, there are many battles being fought. And in the last 5 years there has been a huge surge of “patent trolls”, entities litigating on patents in hopes of extorting a settlement fee out of defendants unable to litigate. Sometimes they are more generically referred to as IP (Intellectual Property) Trolls which sometimes involves trademarks, patents, or copyright. A simple google search reveals articles from NY times, Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Wired, and many more that estimate costs to consumers of $30 billion2 over the last 5 years.
Recent litigation involving large companies such as Over Stock, New Egg, Geico, Google, Blizzard, Nintendo, and the list goes on. Complaints (lawsuits) by trolls are always make absurd and unreasonable claims which are over broad and all encompassing, such as patents to transfer data through the air (wifi), buttons next to pictures of items on a website (add to cart), or copying data off a device onto a portable offsite storage (on line backup). In affect they punish any sort of innovation or advancement in technology, as Sir Richard Branson recently put, “If you can’t innovate, litigate. Are entrepreneurs being prevented from innovating?”
To make matters worse, there are contingency firms such as Continental Enterprises (CE) who will phish (with a “ph) for deals. In fact this firm is so hated it has garnered heated opinions from many sites […]

E&L Airsoft are branching out and have launched their own G17 GEN4 GBB replica which in E&L tradition shares as much similarity with the real item as possible.
It also comes in a decent carry case, I’ll try to get a photo of the retail package to update this article as soon as possible. Obviously this is a final prototype show fitting in a 5.11 ThumbDrive holster:
We don’t just make AK AEGs and would like to announce our E&L G17 GEN 4 GBB pistol project which will be available soon.
You can find updated details on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/elairsoft) for all our new projects.
What changes make our G17 GBB Pistol different from others?
1. Completely real firearms dimension, fits in real gun holster.
2. The rear sight base is fixed in the same way as the real gun and compatible with real steel sights.
3. Design structure & appearance of the recoil spring / rod closely resembles the G17 Gen 4.
4. Same magazine catch design as the real gun.
5. Comes shipped in a real carry case package. (CN civil pistol version, not Austrian)
You can also find the news on their Facebook page.

Dr Airsoft (Airsoft Medicine) as sent over a new video with a review of several pistols that look a lot like Glocks:
Gas blowback airsoft pistols which resemble real steel Glock pistols are compared in this Airsoft Medicine video with Dr. Airsoft and Rangemaster Larry. The KWA Advanced Training Pistol, the Socom Gear LoneWolf Timberwolf, and the WE G17 are compared. Features compared include muzzle velocity, target grouping, real steel Glock holster fit, magazine loading, interoperability, and cosmetic appearance. This video specifically addresses issues pertinent to Glock shooters using airsoft in their training with real steel gear.
