The new diesel D

Since its recent introduction, Diesel D has created quite a stir. But is it worth the attention it has attracted? Let’s explore this intriguing fragrance in more detail and see what makes it stand out.

Discover Diesel D on FragranceTip.com by FIV Magazine:

• Diesel D 30ml
• Diesel D 50ml
• Diesel D 100ml

The bottle

First impressions count, and Diesel D stands out with its bottle design. The slim and ergonomic shape makes it easy to handle and spray. The fine spray mechanism is a nice touch, although some might want a longer burst of spray. Still, the simplicity of the design is appealing and adds to the overall experience.

Campaign with Neymar

To generate attention, Diesel has hired one of the most famous and expensive soccer stars, Neymar Jr.

Fragrance: Dominant vanilla and lavender accord

Diesel D fragrance presents a blend of notes, including lavender, vanilla and ginger. For many, the scent of Diesel D is a trip down memory lane, reminiscent of the iconic Diesel fragrance with its leather exterior and signature stitching. It is a fragrance that evokes nostalgia, especially with its dominant vanilla and lavender accord. The opening is refreshing and aquatic, similar to the freshness after a shower. But as it progresses, it evolves into an amber-lavender-vanilla scent.

Although Diesel D may not be the most modern fragrance on the market, it undoubtedly has its own charm. It appeals to a younger audience, possibly teenagers or people in their early twenties. This fragrance exudes a fun and youthful vibe and is less suited for a mature or professional environment. It is not the fragrance for everyone, but it has its own unique appeal. Interestingly, Diesel D marks the brand’s first step into the unisex fragrance category. Despite the name, however, it definitely leans towards masculinity. If you didn’t know it was marketed as a unisex fragrance, you’d probably assume it was designed exclusively for men.

Top notes, heart notes and base notes

Durability & Projection

In terms of durability, Diesel D offers a respectable six to eight hours of wear, which places it in the average range. However, projection is a strength of this fragrance, as it is generously perceptible. The intense vanilla notes create a warm and inviting aura, making it well suited for cold weather or cooler summer evenings.

That’s it! Diesel D

In summary, Diesel D is a pleasant fragrance with a solid rating of about five to five and a half points out of ten. It is a good choice for teenagers or anyone looking for a fragrance with a youthful, energetic vibe. It can also be good for club nights, thanks to its intense vanilla notes that allow for generous application. However, if you’re older or looking for something unique and challenging, Diesel D might take you back in time rather than offering a fresh, modern experience.

At the big, white entrance of the Ocean Beach Club my day has begun. I wanted to be there already in the afternoon to take some relaxation in the afternoon. From the entrance you come directly to the restaurant or the pool area.

Or, first, a stop at the restaurant? Check out this view.

Most of the sunbeds, around the swimming pool, offer space for two guests. At least during the day, because in the evening there is a lot of dancing and of course you get to know each other quickly and the lounger is a bit more crowded.

Speaking of which, have you heard about the champagne parties at the Ocean Club?

Champagne party? Why not!

A video is worth a thousand words.

That’s exactly how it goes in the evening, not only on very special days. I was also totally surprised when four dancers suddenly appeared at the pool. Full entertainment program in the Beach Club! Not only that, right next to my bed several dances suddenly appeared! Spontaneous dance battle, then again together, of course some fun moves for Instagram and TikTok. All this still in the early evening.

How is the service at Bett & Pool?

Service at the bed – of course you don’t have to get up yourself, here friendly, really super friendly service staff are waiting for you, who are very attentive. This in turn is very pleasant, you do not have to worry about anything, you can just enjoy.

Marbella: Holidays, hotspots and tips

A pleasant climate all year round, lots of sunshine, right on the Mediterranean and all this just a few hours’ flight away from European capitals such as Berlin, Stockholm and Rome. In fact, many Italians are here in Marbella, as well as Swedes and Germans. One reason for this are for example the countless, large and lush green golf courses. As well as the “Old-Town” of Marbella, the kilometer-long beaches and the Spanish attitude towards life. What this means, you will learn in this Marbella guide for your first holiday.

My motivation: save taxes, save taxes properly

Who am I? As the owner of the magazine, as a business owner in general, I have one problem like everyone: tax burden. Have you ever added up what your biggest “expense” item is? In fact, it’s taxes. The bigger your sales, your profits, the more taxes you pay.

My motivation? This initial question, which I still had before the coaching, almost sums up my motivation very well:

“How do you legally and sustainably reduce your tax burden in Germany to a minimum?”

And why doesn’t… or can’t my accountant do that?!

If you want to have an overview of the topics and different voices on tax coaching by Alex Fischer, then I can recommend the experiences of participants. On the page you will find many interviews from participants.

• Tax coaching by Alex Fischer – Application
• Tax Coaching Experiences – Participant Interviews

Alex Fischer, live in front of the tax coaching participants:

Conversely, the view from the audience to the stage of the tax coaching event:

Why the tax coaching of Alex Fischer?

In March, I “survived” my first 5 years as an entrepreneur. That gives confidence and with that confidence I wanted to finally learn how the tax game works. Not on some Youtube channel or with a book on Amazon, not a “small” tax course in Cologne or Berlin, I wanted to learn from experts. Preferably from an entrepreneur who made it to real estate millionaire even with zero equity.

As a managing director, I have little time, so I need condensed expertise. After a few comparisons with experiences and reviews of other tax coaching, my choice was crystal clear on the offer of Alex Fischer.

What bothered me about 99%? They offer dubious tax coaching, when you look at their business circumstances (for example via Northdata) you quickly see: Not serious. Offers on the Internet, which you reach via Google, are from windy online marketers, who have no idea about taxes. When it comes to taxes, I trust recommendations and personal experience. Both have matched here.

Application process and selection

You have to apply for this tax coaching. In fact, after your application, you will have an interview. Based on the data and the interview, it will be decided whether you have the right qualifications. You will see the selection at the start event at the latest. Doctors, master roofers, lawyers and board members of AGs. Here are only experienced entrepreneurs, self-employed and freelancers.

Acquisitions, depreciation and tax reduction

So I’m not interested in the “little tax 1×1” or “tips to save taxes”. I want to know:

What company structure makes sense in terms of individual sectors, acquisitions and depreciation.

In very, very simple terms:

• I’ll buy the next property through my company,
• About a new company (and if so, what does it look like)
• Or is it private?

After tax coaching, you’ll understand…

After the tax coaching you understand the constellation around asset accumulation, asset lending, asset protection, asset transfer and also investments. Too many foreign words for the beginning? Let’s start at the very beginning. Why tax coaching at all?

On our finance and tax blog, I often write about real estate, financing, and give simple tax tips to our readers. Advantage 1: The better I understand the tax game, the more informed my articles on simple tax 1×1 will be. Benefit 2: As described above, I am of course primarily concerned with private wealth accumulation (for me).

I’ll tell you about my basic problem: “tax accountant.”

Alex Fischer experience: Become an advisor to your tax advisors

“Tax burden minimization to 8% to 15% is possible” – Alex Fischer

With such rates, the ears of entrepreneurs are of course immediately pricked up. Tax burden minimization to 8% to 15%? Yes. You just have to deal with it! Nobody likes to deal with taxes. But if you manage to find the necessary motivation, the tax game quickly becomes a lot of fun.

Only 2 tips in 5 years?! My tax adviser

As I said, I motivated myself more and more in March to actively tackle the issue of taxes.

Do you know how many times my accountant actively approached me, with tips, in 5 years? 2x

That is, in 5 years of paying well monthly, I have gotten exactly 2x pro-active tax advice from my accountant.

You can’t blame him or his tax firm either. The training is state-run and what interest should the state have in training tax experts who lower the tax burden? That would mean that the state would take in less money. Ergo: tax consultants administer, they do not design.

Tax consultant training: administrator, not designer (excursus)

If you want to become a tax advisor in Germany, you have to complete a training course. Depending on the offer, this can take up to 1,200 hours.

This covers many topics such as tax procedural law, excise and transfer taxes or business management and accounting – but not tax optimisation. Why? The training is organised by the state. If the state itself were to train tax professionals, these professionals would ensure that you pay less tax. Less taxes means less revenue for the state. Here lies the dilemma of entrepreneurs and the realization:

Taxes are a matter for the boss

In fact, the tax advisor exam teaches and quizzes more basic areas of knowledge. The examination areas of the tax consultant examination are defined by the Tax Consulting Act (StBerG). You can quickly see how general the topics of the exam are by taking a look at the syllabus. Knowledge in the following areas can be the subject of the exam:

• Fiscal procedural law (AO and FGO) as well as fiscal penal law and fiscal offences law
• Taxes on income and earnings
• Valuation law, inheritance tax and property tax
• Excise and sales taxes, main features of customs law
• Commercial law and main features of the German Civil Code (BGB), company law, insolvency law and European Community law
• Business administration and accounting
• Economics and professional law

In the tax coaching, I already had more input at the welcome event than I probably would have gotten in 100 years of working together, with my tax accountant. That’s what I wanted, that’s what I wanted. I want knowledge from real experts who take me to the next level, even with topics I had thought of once again.

Tax planning is your job as an entrepreneur – that’s for sure.

Tax coaching: 9+ weeks test

To learn how this works and to get much, much more valuable tax knowledge, I started the coaching 9 weeks ago, sort of as a self-experiment.

Launch event in Düsseldorf with further experts

As I said, we applied for the tax coaching. About 20 days later, we were at the kick-off event near Düsseldorf’s Königsallee, more precisely at the Hotel Intercontinental. There were almost 400 participants. This is also where the final event takes place after various digital coaching sessions, webinars, implementation vouchers etc.

Both events are staffed with top-class experts. So, there is not only the know-how of Alex Fischer. He also has experts from his close circle at the event. Persons, to which one would otherwise never approach as entrepreneurs or freelancers. Because, these experts optimize otherwise companies. We could even personally address the experts with questions.

Digital coaching, webinars and implementation vouchers

Between the events there are various digital coachings, webinars and implementation vouchers. Here you can once again pick out specific experts to ask questions exclusively in private. That was handy, because as you know from your own business, structures can be complex.

But that’s what makes coaching so special. Because in the end, you don’t just go there with extremely deep tax knowledge, the community also enriches you if you want. Especially through first-class contacts.

Between the live events it’s all about know-how and training in the knowledge base. By timing, it’s only 8 weeks, but the density of information was so high, I was happy to take the extra time. After all, it’s about structuring my businesses and my acquisitions – the tax game. As I mentioned before, the fact that Alex Fischer now publishes content in the tax / tax optimization points really surprised me. All the more reason I wanted to know what Alex Fischer’s tax insiders are. Many say he is a real “real estate pope”. In fact, he himself holds, privately, over 20,000 square meters, alone in Düsseldorf.

PS: “Richer than the Geisses” is his bestseller. Read more about it here:

• Alex Fischer: Book Review

Conclusion: What have I learned?

Now I could spend another hour telling you about tax coaching, the live events, the experts, the digital coaching, the webinars, and much more. In order to keep the experience report short and sweet, I thought about giving you a top 3 as a conclusion!

My Top 3: Learned and Experienced

In the “Next Level Tax Coaching” I have learned and you will learn how you can legally and sustainably reduce your tax burden in Germany to a minimum. As I said, 8 to 15% are possible, but the special thing about this coaching is the combination of these 3 aspects:

1. Tax know-how
2. Business know-how
3. Investment know-how

I particularly appreciate the investment know-how. Because now I know which purchase I have to make in which way, for example to use taxes advantageously as a leverage effect. This gives me more presentable equity. Just one aspect that is extremely interesting for entrepreneurs in growth.

If you were to ask me which part of the coaching I enjoyed the most, the live events would definitely be number 1. The close and personal contact with Alex’s experts was extremely insightful. I understand the famous “tax game” more and more and I can now apply it to myself and my businesses with tax coaching. Paying less tax means more room to invest. Goal achieved.

1. Live events with Alex Fischer
2. Close exchange with AF experts at the events
3. Knowledge database is available online 24/7

Internship at an advertising agency: What is it about? How do I apply?

You just finished school and are looking for your first internship? You are in the middle of your studies, have a part-time job and will soon have to do a compulsory internship? Many who are looking for an internship often don’t know how to apply. Here you are exactly right! Let me show you how I managed to get an internship at an advertising agency! A longer internship makes sense. This way the employer has more time to teach you more about the job. For example, you will not only learn how to write articles, but you will also gain insight into the world of customer acquisition and support, and you will be allowed to participate in individual projects.

What do you do in an advertising agency? What areas of the agency do interns gain insight into? What do you have to do to be accepted in an advertising agency? – In this article I will explain to you how varied this internship was and which tasks I was allowed to work on independently.

What is an advertising agency?

spectacular TV spots, the halftime show of the Superbowl and pretty much every third house wall carries an advertising poster: Advertising agencies attract attention. This is why the industry is so large and well networked. Advertising agencies are at the hotspots, in Germany cities like Hamburg, Berlin or Cologne and worldwide Shanghai, New York and London.

An advertising agency advises clients who need marketing support. Customers from the food, fashion, TV or beauty industry often need support to push the website on Google, to market a product or to publish a new app. This is where the advertising industry needs creative minds that can handle these customer requests. Since the topics of the customers are very different, the advertising agencies split into different areas, such as: Social Media Marketing, or Content Marketing. A marketing agency is a service provider who is the inspiration for the advertising for different customers. First of all, the advertising agency analyzes the situation of the customer and develops a solution to start the cooperation with the customer. This includes for example the creation of infographics and block articles. We also come into contact with influencers and bloggers or other relevant social media highlights that push the company’s name by promoting it online. So we can check Step at Step, when the turnover and the number of visitors have increased and much more. At the end of the project we document and archive everything for the client and present the results. The creative advertising agency thus provides classic advertising. This means advertising in the mass media.

What does an advertising agency do?

• Website, SEO and Online Shops
• Adverts Advertising and outdoor advertising
• Public relations for a strong brand

My internship: model agency, content marketing and fashion magazine

I did a six-month internship in an advertising agency. I applied online with my CV and letter of motivation. The design and marketing industry has always interested me. During my schooldays and studies, I had no opportunity to gain practical experience. So I was happy when I was invited for an interview and two weeks later I was allowed to start as an intern. 

During the first weeks I learned how to write articles for the fashion magazine. So it became my daily task to learn how to research, write and publish articles. At that time, it was very exciting when my texts were published, today it’s part of my everyday life! A little tip: You should also practice writing with 10 fingers! Little by little I was allowed to accompany the first customer projects. I learned how to write e-mails, maintain customer contact and conclude contracts. I was also shown how to use WordPress, Photoshop and search engine optimization. With Photoshop I learned how to compress images and embed them in articles. It was exciting to learn which rights of use apply to images. For content marketing I was trained in search engine optimization. Here I learned how keywords were analyzed and how to use them in articles in a meaningful way.

Back then everything was very exciting and new! Today I pass on my knowledge to interns and work on many more new projects!

What did I like best?

Today I would say that everything was an enrichment. I was allowed to get a taste of every marketing department and take on projects independently. Once you have grasped the basics of marketing, the industry becomes much more creative. Since there are always new projects and you get in contact with new people, you learn to work in a team and also independently. The responsibility you have for your own articles, pictures, planning and customers gives you a good feeling!

The best experiences at FIV Magazine:

• Customer contact via e-mail, telephone calls, meetings, video calls
• Create and execute content plans
• search engine optimization for high rankings
• Image editing with Photoshop

Through the different sections (models, magazine, social media) one gets astonishingly many insights into very different areas of the media world. Starting with research up to the independent conception and publication of articles. But you also learn how to handle the most important software. For example with Photoshop to create graphics. You’ll learn how to analyze websites, evaluate customers and develop new strategies, and create creative content for social media.

Content Marketing: Search engine optimization for higher ranking on the Internet

Marketing is important for the success of a company. In contrast to advertising which aims for a moment, content marketing is long-term oriented. The task is to provide potential customers, partners and employees with relevant topics. The aim is to support customers with valuable content in the form of blog posts and thus to rank them high in search engines.

I have written various articles. In some topics I was more informed and in others I also did research and delivered the best possible content. Step by step you become a professional in certain topics!

What is content marketing?

• Content Audit: Inventory of the previous contents

• Strategy Development: Content Strategy
• Camagne planning: planning of the steps of the implementation with time schedule
• Implementation: Implementation of the planned contents
• Content Distribution: Distribution of the contents
• Monitoring & Reporting: tracking and monitoring of the content and measurement of success
• Optimization: Evaluation and optimization of the content strategy

Online Marketing: search engine to social media

Internet marketing or online marketing summarizes marketing strategies & -measures, which are realized online. If companies, organizations or private people place an Internet presence online, they usually want many visitors. These can be users who find the page via a search engine, but also those who are adressed via various other online and offline measures and are convinced by a visit.

Application: Tips for cover letter and CV

From my experience with job applications, I would like to give you some tips. Applications are different in every industry. Some companies pay more attention to the CV, others to your cover letter, others attach more importance to personality and finally decide with an interview. Whether it’s a resume or a cover letter, you should make sure you write truthfully. Don’t forget that these pages decide whether they want to hire you or not. With a little practice and tips from experts, you will be sure to be invited for an interview the next time you apply.

What must be in an application?

Nowadays applications are sent online. Check the website first to see what the company wants to see from you. A creative cover page and lots of certificates and diplomas are not much use if your cover letter makes little impression. Therefore you should make sure that you only send such references, certificates, work samples if they are close to the job and show your previous experience.

• testimonies: School and university certificates

writing: the first impression

Your cover letter should give us a first impression of you! This is not about a lot of text, but about a convincing letter. The employer wants to get to know you.  Try to limit your letter to one page, one A4 page is sufficient! Make sure that the text is without spelling mistakes. Since you will spend most of your internship in the online editorial department, correct German spelling is extremely important. A little tip: Family members and friends can read over your article.

Tips for your cover letter:

• Convince with the content, not the length

Resume: important data

Your curriculum vitae includes your personal data as well as your full name, date of birth, address, etc. In addition, your telephone number and e-mail address are required so that you can be reached. You should enter your school career and professional experience. This is not to say that you have necessarily worked in the marketing, advertising or media world, but it is always a plus if you have had a job, such as temping at a café! You speak other languages? Then let us know! Have you already gained experience in editing, fashion and marketing and have you got certificates or other references? Then please add them.

What belongs in a resume?

Good luck with your application!

Before – after effect: This has changed

On Youtube, you can find many before and after videos on the topic of Invisalign, because even stars now resort to this method. After all, the teeth have to be neat and straight for Instagram posts or the next live performance. Some of the first stars to use Invisalign included Justin Bieber and Khloe Kardashian. In this video, Justin Bieber shows us his Invisalign aligner. Looking at the pictures on the singer’s Instagram account these days, you can see a big difference. He now has bright white and especially straight teeth.

Influencer TheBeauty2go has undergone Invisalign treatment. In one of her videos she answers her followers’ questions about the treatment and even shows us the impressive before and after effect. The entire treatment only took Kathie 1 year to complete. We think the result is outstanding, see for yourself!

Bella Kraus – Your result after only 3.5 months

Influencer Bella Kraus, who is active on YouTube and Instagram, also had something wrong with her teeth. On her Youtube account, the young mum often posts videos in which she tries out the latest beauty tricks. She found just the right treatment method for her with Invisalign. She reports that even her followers haven’t noticed the invisible aligners around her teeth. The before and after change is something to behold.

The RealCatGoneCrazy also shows us a drastic change in his teeth.

Aligner – Care: Very simple & fast

Keeping your aligner neat and clean doesn’t take much time or effort. Even expensive cleaning products are not necessary. Specialists recommend simple cleaning with a toothbrush and toothpaste. The toothpaste should be gel-like and the aligner splint should be brushed off with the toothbrush before each insertion and then rinsed with lukewarm or cold water. Since the Invisalign aligners need to be changed every 2 weeks anyway to keep the treatment on schedule, this will help keep the aligner clean.

Sig Acid P226 CO2 Pistol for 4,5mm Diabolo – Experience

Originally, the P226 was developed as a successor model for the U.S. armed forces. She won the tender in 1984 and replaced the then common but slightly overhauled Colt M1911. One of the latest innovations, if you look at the long history of CO2 and air pistols, is now the current P226 – Revolutionary! Due to the special system of the CO2 capsule insert, it is ready to fire in only one second. This makes them very interesting for many sport shooters, especially if you want to shit several capsules during training and therefore constantly have to change capsules again. The P226 does it in a few seconds. You don’t even need extra tools, e.g. an Allen key. The weapon is ready for immediate use. In my opinion one of the strongest innovations from Sig Sauer.

We’ll take a closer look today:

1. How is the gun processed?
2. How is it in the hand?
3. How are the functions?
4. Which extensions are offered?
5. What is their shooting behavior?
6. What about the accuracy?
7. most important: Would I recommend the P226?

Material and processing

Compared to the Glock 17, the Sig Sauer P226 is very classically manufactured. Anyone who remembers Hollywood films from the 1990s would imagine exactly such a pistol. With its barrel, which is semicircular upwards, it reminds of a classic police pistol from New York or Los Angeles. That makes it a very authentic weapon at the firing range. The processing as well as the material are very high-quality. Although the rifle is very solidly crafted, it looks lighter on the outside than the solid, angular Glock 17.

It lies very well in the hand, the handle is slightly rounded so that it sits well in the hand shell. All systems, as well as the release of the weapon and the ejection of the magazine are designed one-handed. So that you don’t have to let go of the handle or need a second hand during use. The release of the weapon takes place via the thumb, just like the ejection of the magazine. Both clicks are easy to execute and ergonomically well placed.

A small characteristic of the weapon is the anchor hook printed on the top of the barrel (left). The anchor is, of course, a symbol of the navy, in which the weapon is also used. The anchor is white and eye-catching, which makes the weapon a little special and also takes a little of the rough. The P226 has been used by many security forces, including (source: Wikipedia):

• United States Secret Service
• British Army and the Special Air Service
• Naval Criminal Investigative Service
• Israeli armed forces
• Dutch Army
• United States Navy SEALs
  various Swiss police corps
• Berlin police (SEK/MEK/PSK in parts)
• Federal Criminal Police Office (Germany)

The pistol has definitely proven itself and is therefore also popular with sports shooters.

Securing the weapon

The weapon can be secured as described above by simply actuating the thumb. Positioned on the left side of the weapon, there is a small throttle, with gentle pressure upwards the weapon can be unlocked. By pushing it back, the weapon is quickly secured again.

Here’s a little tip for those who are considering buying the P226, once the weapon is secured, the drum magazine will still be turned. If you don’t use flat Diabolos, e.g. pointed head Diabolos, it can be that the Diabolos get caught in the barrel. So if the weapon is secured, you shouldn’t pull the trigger. Of course you can do that, but there is a danger that the magazine will get caught. If this happens frequently and one of the diabolo’s positions is unfavourable, the pistol would quickly be out of action for a few minutes and you’d have some trouble getting it running again. Always stay with flat diabolos, not only for the P226, but in general.

Insert from magazine

The magazine of the Sig Sauer P226 is designed so that you only have a narrow strip for your diabolos. Why is that?

Due to the integrated CO2 capsule insert system, the CO2 capsule is inserted at the back of the handle. Unlike most weapons, the CO2 capsule is not placed in the magazine. Therefore, one has only a narrow strip to hold the diabolos, a clip. The narrow strip has two holders, one at the upper end and one at the lower end. In each holder you can insert 8 diabolos (or steel balls).

My tip is buy yourself two or three spare magazines. In most online shops you can buy a pack of replacement magazine for the Sig Sauer P226 for less than 30 €. This of course gives you the advantage that you can not only shoot a magazine and need a lot of time to load it, but you can also continue directly through the eject and the new insert, clip by clip.

In my opinion a small disadvantage: The clips are made of plastic. This makes the overall look of the gun a little less. Similar to gifts, in the end it always depends on the average of the individual values. Who e.g. gives away an expensive ring and in addition a shirt, lands at the end with a halfway good gift. Who concentrates only on the ring, lands the absolute hit and works more high-quality. While the entire rifle is designed and made to a high standard, this small part, made of plastic, is relatively unfavourable. Nevertheless, it does not make any great sacrifices, but a metal processing would not have harmed!

Insert of the CO2 capsule

The insert of the CO2 capsule is the special highlight of the Sig Sauer P226. As I have already mentioned a few times, the CO2 capsule can be inserted at the back of the magazine. The insert opens when the back is folded down. Now you can simply insert the new CO2 capsule and by closing the backside it will be pushed upwards immediately and thus pierced and activated. That is the first advantage, the second advantage is, as soon as you have shot the first CO2 capsule empty, you can open the back quickly and easily, the capsule falls out almost by itself and you can insert a new one. The weapon will be ready to fire in two or three seconds.

Especially with intensive training comma, this very special workmanship or system is extremely fun!

Anyone who is otherwise annoyed by the typical slide-in systems, which often require additional small tools such as an Allen key, will be very happy with the P226. The insertion as well as the removal of the capsule has never been so easy.

Shot and trigger

There’s absolutely nothing negative to be said about gunshots and triggers. The Sig Sauer P226 reacts reliably, not too much and not too little sensitive. Thanks to the ergonomically well-placed safety device, the weapon can be quickly, easily and one-handedly re-secured between uses. The accuracy is very good on close but also on distant targets, after about 500 shots I am still absolutely thrilled and since then it belongs to one of my favorite models when it comes to CO2 pistols.

The cock is also realistically designed. While some CO2 pistols only have dummies on them, the cock is movable. After firing the first 8 rounds, the magazine can be ejected by a simple push, then you turn it and lead it back, and another 8 rounds are available. With the double magazine system, you save yourself the trouble of reloading – simply eject, turn, done. However, if you want to empty an entire CO2 capsule, you should buy a replacement magazine, as recommended above. From my experience, this saves a lot of time (in training) and you can concentrate on the training.

Blowback

Many would also like a blowback function for their CO2 pistol. Blowback means that the upper barrel of the weapon, the so-called sled, runs back when the trigger is operated. The barrel can also be retracted without triggering. What’s the matter with you? So with a “real” 9mm pistol, the bullet would get into the barrel. Here it is of course only dummy, the Diabolos are built into a drum. This drum only rotates when the trigger is operated. The blockback system lets the carriage jump back and forth.

Experiences: Top! Fast recharging, fast operational readiness

As you might have read, I am a big fan of the Sig Sauer P226 CO2 pistol. It is a reliable model, it is of high quality workmanship and offers with the double-sided magazine a direct change in training. But what makes the weapon an absolute highlight is the absolutely innovative inlay system for the CO2 capsules. Never before has a CO2 pistol been so quickly ready for use!

For everyone who wants to expand his collection and of course for everyone who wants to buy his first CO2 pistol, an absolute recommendation!

Here a little tip: When you buy your first CO2 pistol, you should make sure that a CO2 capsule is always shot empty. If you leave the CO2 capsule in the gun for a long time, the seals will gradually wear out, which means your gun will wear out (and leak). Therefore, always make sure that you remove the CO2 capsule again after the shooting training.

Advantages

• High quality workmanship and materials
• If I have Terra manufacturer
• One-time and innovative capsule insertion system
• Double-sided magazine
• Small anchor symbol for recognition

Disadvantages

Both disadvantages are not serious, only small, minimal deductions that are not important when buying.

• Magazine plastic clips, metal would be a more elegant solution
• Removal of half-empty CO2 capsules allows a lot of gas to escape at once, screw systems are easier to regulate

Weapon shops and selection

Who stands in the gun shop before a large selection of pistols, he is naturally fast overtaxed with the question, which CO2 pistol should I buy myself? Most of them initially focus on the absolute classics, e.g. the Walther P99, which of course has a high degree of popularity as standard equipment for the German police. There are also many other interesting brands that produce outstanding models. There are good weapon manufacturers e.g. also from Switzerland, the United States of America in addition, of course countries such as Israel. But also Austria and exactly here, we want to stay today!

The pistol developed around 1980 by the Austrian engineer Gaston Glock is still in use today. The pistol has already proven itself in everyday use, so you can find this model in many online shops and of course also in local gun shops as a CO2 version for sport shooters.

We’ll take a closer look today:

1. How is the gun processed?
2. How is it in the hand?
3. What are the functions?
4. What extensions are offered?
5. What’s their shooting behavior?
6. What about the target accuracy?
7. Most important: Would I recommend the Glock 17?

Glock 17 CO2 pistol for 4,5mm diabolo and BB steel ball – experience

The Glock armoury is a household name, not only for enthusiastic sports shooters on the one hand or the other, who are not otherwise concerned with the subject of weapons, the name Glock says something. The traditional company has been finishing pistols since 1980 and is a firm element for many security and special forces. Model 17 is now in its 5th generation.

Material and Processing

The pistol is largely made of metal, but its structure and appearance have a high value, which corresponds to the “original”. Especially the lines and edges of the weapon are kept very straight, which makes it less playful and makes it appear very efficient from the outside. The angular look is also stable and solid, which also adds value to the feel of the gun. The material also ensures that the weapon lies well balanced in the hand. This is important to promote accuracy. The pistol is not only well balanced, but also the grip of the weapon lies well in the hand.

But here also the first disadvantage comes into play, if you look closely at the trigger of the weapon, you already realize that to trigger the weapon in order to fire a shot, you have to pull the trigger very far – so far that after 3, 4 magazines it really becomes a challenge to pull the trigger with one finger, in quick succession. This will affect the shooting range later. But more about that later.

Basically the material as well as the workmanship of the weapon is very high-quality, it lies well in the hand and is well processed by the balance as well as by the weight.

Securing the weapon

The safety of the weapon and the trigger are designed in such a way that it is difficult to release them quickly. Extra fuse 1 – While most fuse systems can be reached directly with the finger, the fuse of the weapon is located below the barrel. A narrow, approximately 2 cm long and 3 mm wide throttle, which has to be pushed forward by means of a thin object, e.g. a key. Once the weapon is secured, you will see a white dot, as soon as the weapon is armed, by moving the small slider you will see a red dot. Now the CO2 gun is ready for use. To move the knob, however, you always need a (thin or pointed) object.

As with the trigger, the fuse is relatively difficult to operate. Especially for families in which, over the years, there is the possibility that children may also have access to the pistol. Certainly a sensibly complicated security system that makes the rapid use of weapons more difficult. For every adult these safeguards are of course no problem. However one should consider this with the purchase of the weapon.

Insert from magazine

The magazine of the gun is very comfortable. A light pressure causes the magazine to fall out downwards. In the magazine you already have 3 prefabricated diabolo holders (silver), as well as a prefabricated holder for BB steel balls (black).

The magazine is made of stable metal, which makes the pistol higher quality compared to the Sig Sauer P226. The diabolo and steel ball holders are mounted on the front side. By inserting the magazine, the holders are fixed directly to the magazine so that they do not fall out during the next removal. Each individual holder comprises 8 diabolos or 8 steel balls. So you can prepare a total of 24 diabolos and 8 steel balls. However, you should make sure when shooting that one weapon is not used for both projectiles. You can find out why this is the case in our article about buying CO2 pistols. I find the system of 4 integrated holders very practical and in combination with the full metal magazine high quality constructed. By the already prepared projectiles, one has without additional equipment, directly enough ammunition for a half CO2 capsule.

So if you buy three more replacement holders for Diabolos, you can directly empty an entire capsule without reloading a projectile.

Insert of the CO2 capsule

Important for many sports shooters, the insert of the CO2 capsule in the magazine.

• How fast does it go?
• How complex will it get?
• Do I need extra tools?

As with most pistols, the Glock 17 is also equipped with CO2 capsules by removing the magazine. The interior of the magazine has a cavity in which the CO2 capsule is positioned. Below the CO2 capsule, there is a small screw with which you can fix the CO2 capsule. Turned a little further, the capsule is pierced. CO2 capsules are closed at the upper end and are only opened by a targeted stitch. Through this sting the CO2 flows into the gun and is thus responsible for the thrust of the diabolo. The gun is ready to go.

Extra security 2 – Because a screw has to be fixed, the Glock 17 requires an extra Allen key for screwing in and out. This would be more cleverly solved under circumstances with a clamp, which one sets up and so also without additional tools at the shooting range, a capsule can be exchanged fast. In addition to the little sensitive trigger, which we will talk about later, the relatively complex securing, another barrier is needed, e.g. for unwanted ones.

Of course, the pistol comes with a matching Allen key. If this is lost, you can also use a standard Allen key to replace the CO2 capsule.

Shot and trigger

Now we come to the core of my report on the Glock 17 today. The trigger is a real disadvantage, especially when it comes to the fun of shooting. Why is that?

Extra fuse 3 – The trigger is set so that you need a very high pressure to trigger a shot. The trigger must not only be pulled by 80%, it must be pulled by 90% and then a further 5%, with even higher load, to finally fire a projectile. Especially during training it is harder and harder to pull the trigger when you have already shot some targets. As hard as you try, there’s always a lack of power in the end. This prevents the bowl from loosening quickly and sometimes you even have to use your second finger to pull the trigger. The steady hand suffers and ultimately the accuracy at the target.

If you want to shoot two, three or four CO2 capsules with your weapon, you will quickly reach your limits. It’ll take the fun out of the sport someday.

After I bought the gun, I had a few days interest, but since then it lies locked in the closet – shopkeeper! Because compared to other weapons, I would even say compared to all other weapons, the trigger on the Glock 17 (CO2 version) is no fun in the long run.

But we do not see the glass half-empty, but half full. Maybe it’s the pistol with a little more security? If you put the safety aspect in the foreground, the weapon is especially recommended for families, young fathers and mothers, because it is difficult to operate. As we have seen in the field report, this starts with:

1. relatively complex unlocking of the weapon, for which you need a small tool or a key, at least a small, pointed object,
2. the screwing of the CO2 capsules into the magazine, which requires another tool and

the screwing of the CO2 capsules into the magazine.

1. the little sensitive process, which you have to pull through almost to 100% to trigger a shot. To keep the strength to trigger every shot with one finger should not be difficult, but the Glock 17 doesn’t make it easy!

Targeting accuracy

In terms of target accuracy, there are basically no compromises, but here too the trigger and its difficult operation account for a large part of the distortion in the shot. Especially after the second or third magazine, the trigger of the weapon needs a lot of pressure (which the finger often can’t fully apply). In order to apply this pressure, a relatively large number of muscles must be activated in the hand, which in principle pulls the barrel of the weapon downwards at the moment of triggering. This means in particular that it is not possible to fire fast or targeted shots. As I said, not at the first magazine, but after time, it becomes very difficult to keep the gun straight, at the moment of the trigger. This shows that the Glock has some drawbacks, which are further complicated by a first trigger.

Especially for sport shooters the accuracy is of course very important. Therefore one should pay attention with the purchase of the weapon in the apron to test it in detail in the weapon business! Because only if you really like the weapon, with its difficult trigger, should you acquire it. So test more than one or two shots.

Although I had tested it briefly, I still wanted to buy it as it is a standard model. Therefore I want to point out again explicitly, test them in detail! If you own several weapons and want to have them in your portfolio, you need less time to think about them. However, if you buy your first pistol, I would advise you to use a different model!

Blowback

A special feature and after the many disadvantages an advantage of the Glock 17 is the integrated blowback system. The blowback system allows the gun rail to be pushed backwards by pulling the trigger. This gives you an even more realistic feeling when shooting. Many CO2 guns do not have a blowback system built in and therefore have a rigid rail. This of course takes a little of the feeling and that’s why blowback systems are becoming more and more popular with sport shooters – it’s not realism! From magazine to capsule and blowback, those were all the details of Glock 17.

Experiences: Heavy trigger impairs target accuracy

2 of 5 stars

If we summarize the Glock 17 and my experiences in a few sentences, then I have to say unfortunately, very well thought but by the difficult excerpt, unfortunately only 2 of 5 stars. If the trigger were not so difficult to operate (in the long run), I would give the pistol 4 of 5 stars. But especially the trigger and the resulting fluctuations in the accuracy make sure that you won’t have much fun with the CO2 gun in the long run. Especially those who own other models know about the advantages of many pistol models. If you are then spoilt for choice, you will probably no longer decide in favour of the Glock 17.

The only positive aspect, which I can take from the special safety device, the trigger, the insert of CO2 capsules and the release, is a protection against unintentional use (by children). Particularly among the millions of families that have sporting weapons, there is the possibility over the years that small children and children will also be able to reach the pistols. In this case they would need some tools, skill and also some knowledge to make the pistol ready for use. Of course not a big challenge but a big barrier for toddlers and children. Unfortunately the deductions are so big that I can only give 2 out of 5 stars for the Glock 17 – a pity!
