Raven EU17 Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol in Full Pink with BDS Sight

Raven EU17 Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol in Full Pink with BDS Sight

If you're after a reliable, punchy little sidearm with plenty of character—and a seriously bold look—then the Raven EU17 GBB airsoft pistol in full pink might be your next favourite bit of kit. Don’t let the colour fool you; this thing means business on the skirmish field. Built by Nuprol under their RAVEN series, it’s an airsoft handgun that combines dependable performance with some surprising extras—like the included red dot sight and the choice between semi and full auto fire modes.

Out of the box, this EU17 feels sturdy without being heavy-handed. The frame is made from high-density polymer, keeping it lightweight and fast to draw, while the alloy slide adds a nice bit of heft and realism to the recoil. It’s got that familiar shape for fans of the EU-style pistols, and the Gen.4 touches—like the interchangeable backstraps—make it feel well thought out. Whether you’re rocking gloves or bare hands, the textured grip makes sure it stays rooted in your palm, even when things get sweaty.

Right at the front, you’ve got a 12mm clockwise female thread at the barrel tip, which allows for suppressors or tracer units via a thread adapter (sold separately). You’ll also spot the full-sized alloy outer barrel through the ejection port—just one of those little details that give this GBB pistol its authentic feel. On the underside sits a 20mm Picatinny rail for lights or lasers, giving you solid options for low-light or CQB environments.

Now let’s talk about that BDS red dot sight. It’s pre-installed on the slide—no faffing about—and lines up beautifully for fast target acquisition. You’ve got push-button controls on both sides of the optic, plus included tools for adjusting windage and elevation. Even if the battery dies mid-game (CR2032 button cell required, not included), you’re not out of luck; the square light-enhancing iron sights are still visible underneath. Smart touch.

The EU17’s trigger system is safety-focused, featuring a two-stage mechanism where the inner blade must be depressed to allow firing—cutting down on accidental shots in the holster or when handling. The integrated trigger lock safety adds another layer of security when transporting the pistol. Everything feels solid and crisp, from the snap of the slide to the bite of the magazine release. Speaking of mags, the included 23-round gas magazine feeds smoothly, and you’ve got the option to upgrade to extended or CO2 mags depending on your loadout preferences.

Hop-up adjustment is easy once you’ve learned the slide disassembly trick. Push the slide back, press forward on the rear plate, and off it comes—giving you full access to tweak your settings. The adjustable hop-up does its job well, offering a stable flight path and decent range for a sidearm. I found .25g BBs paired with green gas gave the best blend of accuracy and consistency. It’s got that sweet spot for CQB engagements—zippy, responsive, and snappy on the trigger.

Let’s not ignore the obvious—the pink finish. It’s loud, it’s proud, and it’s skirmish-ready right out of the box. No UKARA? No problem. The factory finish means no need for two-tone conversions, so you’re good to go straight away. It also adds a nice layer of visibility in kit-heavy setups—easy to spot, easy to grab.

In short, the Raven EU17 GBB pistol is more than just flashy paint. It's a functional, well-designed, and skirmish-worthy airsoft pistol with a full feature set straight out the gate. From the reliable gas blowback action to the thoughtful ergonomics and the surprisingly good red dot sight, it holds its own against sidearms twice the price. A great pick for players who want style and substance in equal measure.
