Description.

If you’re in the market for a robust, affordable, and engaging sidearm that feels like a proper weapon in hand — look no further than the airsoft pistol that is the Huntsman Tactical H17 Gas Blowback. 

The body, built from durable ABS polymer, strikes the right balance between weight and practicality — light enough to carry comfortably through long games, but substantial enough that it doesn’t feel hollow or cheap. Atop that polymer frame, a machined aluminum alloy slide provides the sort of solid, confident feel that seasoned airsofters look for when they’re sizing up a sidearm. 

The black finish on this sidearm gives it a tactical, understated look that blends seamlessly into a range of loadouts. No flashy gimmicks here — just a compact, reliable design that’s rooted in function and realism. The overall dimensions — approximately 18.5cm by 13.5cm by 3cm — make it a comfortable fit for most hands, with controls placed intuitively so that you’re not fumbling under pressure.

Historically, the gas blowback platform has been a favourite among players who crave realism. The H17 delivers that in spades: every shot offers a crisp forward snap as the slide cycles realistically, ejecting no projectiles into the ground — just like the rhythm of firing a firearm. The two‑stage trigger has a gratifying pull that will feel familiar to anyone who’s handled a real sidearm. It’s responsive, predictable, and builds proficiency rather than resistance as you train with it.

Adjustability is another strength here. The hop‑up unit, a crucial component for achieving straight, accurate BB flight, can be dialled in to suit your barrel preferences, weight of BBs, and skirmish conditions. Whether you’re laying down shots at mid‑range targets in a woodland game or breaking through contact in a CQB arena, the right hop‑up setting can make all the difference, and with the H17’s adjustable system, you’re in control.

That control extends into maintenance and customization. The slide on the H17 is field‑strippable — meaning you can disassemble it for cleaning, hop‑up adjustment, or internal upgrades without needing specialised tools. For those who like to tweak and tune their hardware, this is a practical feature that keeps your pistol in peak condition and performing consistently game after game.

Tactically, the H17 isn’t just about pulling the trigger. The underbarrel RIS rail gives you options. Add a compact torch to help you navigate dark corners during night games. Lock on a laser for precise aiming when seconds matter. This rail is a game‑changer for players who like to tailor their sidearm to their playstyle — no matter how niche or practical that style may be.

The zinc alloy magazine feels solid in the hand and locks in with a satisfying click. Holding 24 rounds, this high‑capacity mag lets you stay in the fight longer before swapping out — a real advantage when the tempo of a game picks up. And yes, spare mags are available so you can rotate, re‑load, and keep firing without delay.

On the field, the H17 shines where it needs to. Its semi‑automatic gas blowback action offers rapid follow‑ups, and the recoil gives just enough kick to feel authentic without being unwieldy. At around 300 FPS with standard 0.20g BBs, it’s well within safe skirmish parameters while still delivering solid impact and flight consistency. It’s reliable in both daylight and ambient temperature conditions, though — as with all gas guns — you’ll notice performance vary a little with environment. Cooler days might see a slight dip, and warmer conditions can give you that fast, snappy cycle that feels really alive.

For novices, the working safety — placed conveniently near the trigger — offers peace of mind. It’s easy to engage, familiar in feel, and instantly reassures those newer to gas systems that they’re holding something grounded in real‑world ergonomics. For seasoned players, that same safety is unobtrusive and intuitive — just another well‑thought‑out part of the design.

The H17 hovers in that sweet spot between beginner‑friendly and enthusiast‑worthy. If you’re stepping up from a spring pistol and want something that feels like a proper sidearm, this is a leap worth making. If you’re a veteran player looking for a dependable back‑up weapon that won’t let you down when the primary goes dry — again, you’ll appreciate the balance that has gone into this pistol’s development.

There has been a bit of chatter in the community around the price point of gas blowback pistols and whether cheaper models can truly hold their own against the classics from long‑established brands. The H17 leans into that conversation with quiet confidence. It doesn’t pretend to outclass high‑end units outright, but it stands toe‑to‑toe in everyday field performance — and often for a fraction of the cost. That’s not hyperbole, that’s real value you can feel in hand and see on the chrono.

One of the subtler, but no less important, strengths of the H17 is consistency. In numerous skirmishes and dry‑fire practices, the gun has shown a dependable trigger response, reliable feeding from the magazine, and a hop‑up that stays true once dialled in. That means fewer mid‑game surprises and more time focused on tactics and engagement rather than troubleshooting hardware.

If you think of your gear as an extension of your play, the H17 is one that feels anchored, familiar, and swagger‑free. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t carry unneeded bells and whistles that clutter your decisions mid‑game. Instead, it gives you what matters most: a solid, predictable performance with hardware that you can trust under pressure.

In the wider ecosystem of gas blowback pistols, the Huntsman Tactical H17 occupies a grounded, unpretentious place. It’s not a gimmick.

For anyone scouting for a first proper GBB sidearm or a reliable second option that won’t break the bank, the H17 deserves your attention. And if you happen to see this pistol at a lower price on any other website, check out our price match — we’ll beat it so you get the best deal around.
