Trigger Pull: On the Umarex XBG and TDP 45, the trigger pull is moderately heavy, typical of a double-action-only trigger. It has noticeable take-up, with the entire pull weighing around 8-9 pounds. The trigger releases at the very end of the pull, accompanied by a slight clicking sound as a prelude to its release. If you're familiar with other budget-friendly double-action triggers where the barrel extends when the trigger is pulled, these two guns will feel similar, as their trigger mechanisms are quite alike.
Accuracy: The accuracy assessment of these guns is pending, as I haven't conducted Field Test or Shooting tests yet. I will update you with a link to my official Field Shooting Test once completed. Preliminary feedback from others suggests that these Umarex CO2 BB Pistols perform well in terms of shots per CO2, accuracy, and FPS.
Build Quality: The Umarex XBG and TDP 45 share many internal components. Though they have distinctly different plastic exteriors, most mechanical parts are integrated into these shells, except for the trigger, safety, and magazine release. The construction predominantly uses plastic, except for some internal components, magazines, barrels, and triggers.
Realism: The Umarex XBG and TDP 45 CO2 BB Pistols don't replicate any specific existing firearm. They resemble modern mid-sized semi-auto pistols, but it's hard to pinpoint an exact model they replicate. They look realistic but are designed more for functional simplicity in a BB gun rather than replicating a firearm's operation. However, this simplicity likely adds to their reliability.

Comments:
While I personally prefer air pistols with more metal and functional components, not everyone wants to invest $100+ in an airgun, nor do they need hyper-realistic features. Some people prioritize affordability, decent performance, and reliability. A simpler design with fewer moving parts often results in greater reliability. Depending on what you're looking for, even if you own high-end airguns, the budget-friendly Umarex XBG or TDP 45 models can be a great choice for regular use, reducing wear and tear on more expensive collectibles.

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.

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
