Umarex TDP

This is my second gun of this model, the CO2 catridge seal seems to last about 4 or 5 years before failing as it did on my original. Nevertheless, it's an econimical yet powerful pistol and the BBs easily penetrate plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and similar targets from about 20 feet away.

Good item

Fun pistol. Just tried out. 4 mag fulls have left a smile on my face. We’ll see what the future brings as far as longevity but right now I’m happy🙂 Accuracy 🤷🏻‍♂️ maybe close range at best. Doesn’t seem like a tack driver but not totally inaccurate. I sense piercing co2 cartridge with the plastic screw that forces penetration will likely be the fail point. Made in Taiwan not the PRC.

I bought the "2-pack" as others did and only received one. Amazon did send me another to make up for it but now I think it was maybe a misund? erstanding and they meant...one was the gun and two was the magazine...maybe? Anyway, i am very happy with this BB gun. It is very reliable as long as you always add one drop of Pellgun oil to the tip of the CO2 cylinder as you load it in. Mine keeps its pressure for months! I use it to scare away blue herons from our pond as they eat all the fish. I dont want to kill them with a real gun or hurt them...just scare them, so i aim off to the side. And after a couple of shots they take off and leave. Job done! The pistol seems pretty accurate and very reliable. When you remove the magazine one BB will always fall out, as it was loaded and ready to shoot. I have not had any problems loading the magazine or any magazine reliability issues either. There is a quick way to load a magazine if you search YouTube, although i dont mind loading it slowly either. OK, that's about it. Great little gun!

OK. I've had it. I bought this to scare away predators of my chickens (I don't want to kill or injure, just hurt or scare). Tonight, I confronted one about 30 feet away lying in the grass. The first shot fired, but the predator did not move. After several more "shots" I realized, as has happened so many times before, the BB's were not coming out. I left with the predator still there, lying in the grass. I went back to my garage, unloaded the magazine, found enough BB's were still in it, reloaded anyway, went back out, the predator was still there, and took some more shots, all of which all misfired. I finally chased it away on foot (luckily it ran away). I have made numerous attempts at trying to figure this thing out. I load the magazine and the CO2 cartridge according to the directions, take the safety off, it fires once or twice OK, then starts misfiring. I take out the magazine, put it back in, and the process repeats. I have gone so far as to take practice shots to make sure it is firing before I go out "hunting." I cannot afford to have this fail me at the most inopportune times. I'm going to find a different, more reliable form of defense.

We purchased these for training our friends who want to learn how to handle a firearm but either have a fear of guns or want to learn to how to defend themselves without the chance of killing someone. Yes I agree in a gun fight CO2 loses. I have been told that studies have shown that many crimes are stopped with just the show of a firearm. If that is true, then god bless and do as you want. However the basics of holding, loading, aiming, targeting and shooting can been achieved with a CO2. After which if someone wishes to transfer this knowledge to a real firearm so be it. Lets face it, if you can draw the attention of a would be psycho to you so others can get away, even if it means your life, that's GUTS. I can tell you this, I would NOT want to get hit with a volley from one of these pistols. These are working out very well for training and I admit it, they are a blast, you can practice all day for a lots less $..NOTE HOWEVER the price on this TDP 45 has increased since we got ours.

I love it 😀

So I wasn't expecting much after recently purchasing the HDR 50 revolver 11 Jules. I figured this little gun would have no power, but might be fun to plink with. Boy was I wrong!! I do not suggest doing this at home, but...my friends thought this wouldn't hurt anything, and compared it to a basic spring action gun. I agreed to let someone shoot me with this. Stupid, stupid, stupid!! From about 15-20 feet away, this gun shot a steel bb which hurt pretty good, left an indentation and bled. I definitely would not have wanted to be hit with any more bb's. I will keep the HDR 50 revolver in my safe for home protection, but I wear this at work because I'm a groundskeeper and there are always stray dogs running around and I've had one aggressively charge me before. I hope I never have to use this for that purpose but I now know first hand, that this CO2 powered gun packs a punch. The CO2 piercing mechanism is a bit challenging. It seems to let out a lot of CO2 when pierced. The turn knob is pretty flimsy. Do not have the magazine in when trying to activate the CO2 cartridge as there is barely any room to turn the plastic piercing piece. When you take out the magazine before shooting all of the bb's, one bb will always fall out the bottom. Not a big deal, just remember that. The gun feels good in your hands and looks just like a 9mm. I'm very happy with this purchase.
