I like the idea of paintball Glock 17, I think .43 cal is more fun than BB. Even found it in Canada -

On different note I have TR50 in .50 cal and although it's not a replica - it's fun to shoot. .50 cal nylon or rubber balls hit hard and make satisfying holes in target. I wouldn't use it for self-defense though.
I think the $530 is for the limited edition model which includes and official Glock pistol case & various different grips. Will be intersted to see what the basic one goes for.
I think the price is so high, in comparison to other Umarex Glock airguns, because the .43 cal. airguns are not sold in as great a quantity as the .177 ones.
Regardless of how it is marketed, in my opinion, airguns may not be the best thing for confronting an intruder, esp. if he is armed with a real firearm.
They again, I suspect you could get yourself in the same trouble with the law, if you defended yourself from an intruded, with a kitchen knife. The I suspect the definition of "reasonable force" used to protect one's family & possessions, is open to interpretation.
