Umarex XBG 4,5 mm BB is a compact air pistol powered by CO2 capsules with a polymer construction. The model visually resembles popular Springfield XD designs and features good fit and finish as well as low weight thanks to its polymer frame. The grip panels have anti-slip texturing. The slide is serrated at the front and rear. A universal 22 mm accessory rail is located under the barrel. The pistol is primarily intended for beginner airgun shooters.
The frame features a 22 mm Picatinny rail, allowing installation of additional shooting accessories such as a laser aiming device, flashlight, or Mantis-type training system. The sighting devices consist of a fixed front sight and a rear sight with white aiming dots.
The pistol is powered by a 12 g CO2 capsule installed in the grip under the panel. One quality capsule provides approximately 80 shots with a consistent velocity of about 125 m/s. The number of shots largely depends on air temperature and shooting pace.
The Umarex XBG is equipped with a slim metal magazine with a capacity of 19 round BBs in 4.5 mm caliber. Loading is facilitated by a special follower tab allowing it to be pulled down easily. It is worth noting that round BBs, unlike Diabolo pellets, are less prone to deformation even under pressure, making them safe to use in high-capacity magazines.
The pistol features a DAO (Double Action Only) trigger mechanism, allowing shooting exclusively in self-cocking mode. The main advantage of this solution is simple and intuitive operation, making the Umarex XBG 4.5 mm an excellent choice for those beginning their air shooting experience.
During transport or storage, the pistol can be secured using the external sliding safety located on the right side of the frame.
