Trigger Mechanism: The trigger pull on the Umarex XBG and TDP 45 is fairly heavy, typical for a double-action-only system. There is a noticeable amount of take-up, and the full pull weight is about 8-9 pounds. The trigger releases at the very end of the pull, with a slight click just before it releases. If you're accustomed to budget-friendly double-action triggers where the barrel extends during the pull, these two models will feel familiar, as their trigger mechanisms are quite similar.

Precision: I have not yet conducted field tests or shooting evaluations to determine the precision of these guns. I will update this with a link to my official Field Shooting Test once it's completed. Early feedback from others suggests that these Umarex CO2 BB pistols perform well regarding shots per CO2, accuracy, and FPS.

Construction Quality: The Umarex XBG and TDP 45 share many internal components. While their plastic exteriors differ, most mechanical parts are integrated within these shells, aside from the trigger, safety, and magazine release. The overall build is mostly plastic, with metal used for some internal components, magazines, barrels, and triggers.

Realism Factor: The Umarex XBG and TDP 45 do not replicate any specific real firearm. They resemble modern mid-sized semi-automatic pistols but don't match any particular model exactly. They look realistic but prioritize functional simplicity over mimicking a real firearm's operation. This simplicity likely contributes to their reliability.

Pros:

  • Priced around $40
  • Balanced performance in terms of shots per CO2 and FPS (accuracy assessment pending)
  • Universal metal stick magazine compatible with various guns.
  • Discreet CO2 tabs
  • Accessory rails included
  • Fewer visible construction screws
  • Reliable, proven design
  • SA177-style CO2 hatch is a benefit

Cons:

  • Mainly plastic exterior
  • Limited working parts, mostly integrated into the plastic
  • Long and heavy double-action trigger pull
  • Fixed sights, requiring proper alignment for accuracy

Observations

While I have a preference for air pistols with more metal and functional components, not everyone wants to spend over $100 on an airgun or needs hyper-realistic features. Some users prioritize affordability, solid performance, and reliability. A simpler design with fewer moving parts often enhances reliability. Depending on your needs, even if you own high-end airguns, the cost-effective Umarex XBG or TDP 45 models can be excellent choices for regular use, reducing wear and tear on more expensive collectibles.

Great little pistol for training kids

I purchased this XGB for my great nephew thinking it would be better than a Air Soft gun. Well not only is this pistol more powerful than a ASG. It shoots clean through steel soup cans @ 20ft. Also shoots pretty darn accurate with 1.5 inch groups @ 20+ft. The only thing we have trouble with is loading clip. Once full if spring release is snapped back...BB's get pushed out of clip before clip is installed in pistol handle. This pistol has nice weight to it. For the price you can't really wrong.

This isn't a review but this is a real gun

I haven't bought this yet but it is almost exactly identical to the more compact springfield xdm so it is a real gun

Very happy with this shooter

I really enjoy my XBG, I actually shot it so much that I wore out the little plastic nipple that keeps the BBs in the clip! That being said it took me over a year to do it. Replacement clips were a little hard to find and pretty expensive considering the gun cost so little. The sights aren't adjustable but you figure out where to "hold" pretty quickly. Being a CO2 BB gun the path of the BB changes slightly with every shot but any CO2 gun does that. If anything it makes the sights less important. The gun is rather slippery since it's plastic so I added a few strips of grip tape to it. You won't be driving tacks with this but you can sure make a can jump around the yard! I also like how the metal clip loads. To load the clip you pull back the slider till it catches, scoop up BBs into the grove and tip it so the BBs roll into the hole. Very easy, very affordable and lots of fun! Reliable too.

Type: BB air pistol. Manufacturer: Umarex USA. Model: XBG - TDP 45 Materials: Plastic outer shell. Weight: XBG .9 pounds (400 grams) - TDP 45 .8 pounds (390 grams) Barrel: Metal non-rifled (4.25 inches). Propulsion: CO2 x 1. Action: Semi auto non-blowback, double action only. Ammunition Type: 4.5mm BB's. Ammunition Capacity: 19 round metal stick magazine. FPS: 410. Personally I prefer spending a few more bucks to get air pistols that have more metal and more working parts, but not everyone has 100+ dollars to spend on an airgun or do they need it to be ultra realistic. Some people just want a gun that is easy on the wallet but still offers decent performance and reliability, and to be honest, a simpler design with less moving parts to wear out or malfunction is probably going to give you better reliability at the end of the day. It just depends what you are looking for. Even if you have a few ultra realistic high end airguns, why not pick eitther the XBG or TDP 45 budged minded Umarex models for day to day plinking and put less wear and tear on your more expensive collector pieces ;) Read full article here: https://www.replicaairguns.com/2013/9/20/umarex-xbg-and-tdp-45-co2-bb-pistol-table-top-review.html Buy the Umarex XBG in Canada: http://www.replicaairguns.ca/umarex-xbg-co2-air-bb-pistol.html Buy the Umarex TDP 45 in Canada: http://www.replicaairguns.ca/umarex-tdp-45-co2-bb-pistol.html

This is my Official Field Test Shooting Review for both the Umarex XBG and Umarex TDP 45 CO2 BB Pistols, make sure to also check out my Umarex XBG and TDP 45 Table Top Review for more information on features, specifications and photos. As usual with my Field Test Shooting Reviews I test out both Umarex pistols using my Chronograph and put five rounds through it with each CO2 BB Pistol to get a real world average fps. Umarex claims around 410 and I got pretty close with both pistols using a brand new Umarex CO2 cartridge in each gun. The temperature was not overly warm as we are now into fall here in Canada BC but so there may be room for a bit higher fps out of each Umarex CO2 BB pistol.
