A couple of my UA-cam viewers asked about me reviewing a Umarex pistol, I want to say thanks to Tactical Jon and Dave Hayter for inspiring me to do the Umarex video.

Don't forget to always follow all the safety rules that come with the instructions for your BB gun and become aware of and follow all local laws and do not go places your BB gun can be mistaken for an authentic firearm.

Just checking Robb are you still around and doing ok? I’m hoping so - greetings from England.
I don't see anything wrong with the magazine on the Xbg.
Yes I did like your video
I have the Daisy 426, one of my favorite bb guns! Easy to operate, feels great in firing position, great sights, solid build, and compact, can't beat this fantastic gun! Great Video!
What it is common appreciate that very much. I agree with you 100%. I can't believe Amazon was selling me so inexpensively. I had to stop buying them after my third one.
I hear you, it gets addicting! @@RobbsHomemadeLife
My XBG magazines are nice because I can poad them and just slide in a full mag and keep shooting.
I love these type of videos! This one was amazing! Great reviews.
Thanks JVQ!
@@RobbsHomemadeLife i think the daisy 426 is a better gun.
@@RobbsHomemadeLife im not that great of a shooter but I can shoot pretty good with the daisy 426. And the daisy is much easier to load.
@@RobbsHomemadeLife I have a hoster for my daisy and I want to get a red dot for it .
Bought XBG before checking reviews. Wanted something light and reliable to ping forest critters coming for my outdoor cats’ food without Xing them. Nice little BB slinger.
A competition shooter gave me this tip - spray a tiny amount of WD-40 in the BB container, tumble to give them all a coat. Prevents jams, and some believe the micro coating gives a more snug fit in the mechanism, resulting in faster fps.
Hey, thanks for your tip. I appreciate it. Don't forget to check out my other videos.
Does it jam often?
@@carloseymour5668 I’ve ran about 200 mags, never jammed as I recall.
I’ve never used anything but steel (silver) BBs, so I’m blank on how coppers might do.
The seal began to leak a few months ago, so I just make a gasket with flat slingshot rubber, which I think fits tighter than the original seal when it was new.
Getting my Daisy 426 today! Can't wait, the last "BB gun" I owned was 20 years ago and it was one of the cheapest ones (not gas) I could find. Me and a friend payed for hours shooting each other (way before paintball became a thing) full of little purple dots. But yeah, not like these guns are toys, but man do I feel like a kid again just thinking about holing this thing
And no, I don't plan on shooting anything that's alive, but those bottles are sure gonna get it!
Ha!! thanks Random😎👍
Hey bud, I'm getting 450 fps with the umerex XBG and I use the steel bbs. Once I got the feel of it I could not believe how far I could hit 🎯 my target from. You mentioned the bb dropping with the mag it does that every single time when you drop the mag but that's because it's a safety issue because it automatically puts one in the chamber and drops it so if the mags out there shouldn't be one in the chamber but I still treat them all like it's loaded. What do I expect for the price. Now there's a tac carbine attachment for it. Looks pretty cool at least the...Thanks for the video My Brother!
Hey thanks so much for watching the video, and leaving such a nice comment. Much appreciated
This was very helpful ! Thanks so much for posting this review! I was on the fence as well but I think I’m going to purchase the daisy as well
Glad it was helpful!
@@RobbsHomemadeLife oh it absolutely was my friend! Have a great day!
I agree about the Umarex magazine. It is a pain in the rear. Sometimes it doesn't hold correctly the first BB and all the rest go flying everywhere.
They are both nice! Gottem both. I got the XBG in the TAC brace, then got the Combat Enforcer, it's air soft twin, it fits the brace too.
I didn't know about the brace. Thanks for watching and commenting.
No problem. The TAC is real cool, made by Umarex. Makes it a carbine with a folding stock and all kinds of rail space, installs in minutes, fits four or five Umarex bb and air soft pistols.
Bought both of them. I like the Umarex better over the Daisy. Seems to shoot more powerful, and sights are better. But both are fun pistols.
That's interesting Erick. I like the Daisy but it may just be a bias because I grew up with the Daisy.
Greetings from England. A great video. I personally love Daisy and Crosman products. I have the Daisy red rider, the Daisy 880 and the 415 pistol all great air guns . I can't believe the cost in the states they are so cheap. The Daisy is around £50 uk! The Umarex is around £70 uk. Enjoy listening to you speak such a soothing voice lol. ATB.
What a nice comment,Thanks!
Feb 2020 the Daisy is selling for £70. I had a Umarex and it packed in after 4 gas cylinders. A load of garbage.
They are both pretty good , I have both.
I have had two Crosman's with the magazine like the Umarex and both jammed and BB's got stuck, or all the BB's came flying out of the magazine when loading or removing it. I would never buy another with that type of Magazine. Time to buy the Daisy. I am hoping for some accuracy out of this pistol.
I like the xbg
No, it's not you with the XBG trigger pull, the trigger pull SUCKS!
You have to pull too far back to shoot and it's a big throw off for me.
Any other guns I have shoot pretty damn good while shooting fast but
I can ssay about the XBG you will save a lot of BBs because you're not
going to be enthused to use it.
Hey thanks a lot for taking the time to watch the video and leave a comment. Much appreciated.
You can't go wrong with the daisy power line 426
I just ordered the Umerax, I feel kind of bad, maybe I'll order the Daisy too after a while
they are both fun.
I hade the daisy 430 I gave it too my friend I shouldn’t of I liked it I’m going to try to get the Umarex xbg
the Umarex is good but I still prfer the daisy, thanks a lot for watching.
@@RobbsHomemadeLife oh yeah I payed 20 some dollars when I first got it now they like 50 60 dollars or out of stock when I find one cheaper I'm going to definitely get it again it had a lot of shoots per co2 to me I had like three of them I had the umarex glock 19 non blowback and like the first couple shoots it had a lil kick to it and but I had the daisy first then the glock 19 then a umarex xcp they super light. But the glock 19 co2 broke I tighten it too hard and never used airgun oil ima make sure I use it when I get another one and no problem I was just looking for videos too see how it looked and stuff before I went threw and got it
Daisy is amazingly accurate and hits hard,,,,,,My choice to plink in , and outdoor
Kanaka Sun I 100% agree
Hi, thanks for this video. I love air guns specially replicas. These are not, but they are not expensive either. I do not know what to choose. But loved the video
Hello Pedro, thanks a lot for watching the video and leaving a nice comment. I appreciate that. I have really enjoyed the Daisy. It was very inexpensive.
Great videos as always
thanks George!
Great Video. As Descriptive as it is Informative.
Don't recall even 1 "Um".
Thanks for that!
I have both
I need to do more air pistol videos
i bought the umarex xbg on amazon yestaday i paid 70 bucks for it
$30 all day long.
Good vid as usual. Any king term follow-up thx
thanks DR, I may have a Walther PPK bb pistol review coming but it would be in March.
Can I get an extended mag for the daisy?
no the daisy doesnt have a magazine the bbs are loaded directly into the gun on the top of the slide
@@Rod-ms2mu does the xbg have an extended mag?
@@Viper0400 no
:D i somehow messed uo my daisy, now its a single shot pistol. It wont feed propper, but that is my error.
One of mine had a bb jammed inside, I was able to shake it loose.
No offense, but firing a double action gun as fast as you can doesn't really accomplish much. Also, I haven't seen any other negative comments on the magazine, just wonder if you might have gotten a defective one or something. Thanks for the review though, very detailed. I have the 426 and agree, it is a very good gun and the loader is very dependable. I have a Umarex XBG on order, so we'll see.
Thanks Jim I appreciate you watching the video and taking the time to leave a nice comment thanks again
Thanks for the review my man - I have a GLOCK 17 GEN 3 plus a BERRETTA 92 FS (both by Umarex) and love both of them but used to have a Daisy Peacemaker back in the late 70's that was loads of fun so was a little down on the review of the Umarex XBG but I ordered it a while back from Pellpax and cos of lockdown is taking time to get to me but I gotta hand it to you - you did a fantastic job there buddy and I thank you most dearly SUBSCRIBED & hit the bell even though I am in SOUTH WALES in the UK. People like yourself make it all worthwhile - Cheers dude - speak soon - PEACE - OUT !!!
Adrian, thanks so much!
I came here from Amazon, and I’m wondering, where can I purchase the CO2 and BB’s for the power line, I owned one since December of 2019, and I can never find that stuff.
the price on co2 on amazon is high right now, go to ebay. here is a link to the bbs I got amzn.to/3tlD9l4
Walmart has the bb s and the co 2 .
@@RobbsHomemadeLife I have the daisy 426 powerline and I really do like it. Great video.
Do they have weight to them ?
yes they do
Did this one get demonitized ?
not yet:)
What is the price of this gun
To get the latest price you have to go to Amazon amzn.to/3f6qobC
what's the shelf life of an installed C02 cartridge? say I install a new one and fire a few shots, can i come back and still fire it in 6 months? any good cheap holster or belt clip?
mine goes low after a few weeks. I bet you could make a cheap holster out of coroplast.
@nosunbeach,
I wouldn’t leave the Co2 in for any longer than a day or so. But I would try to shoot it until it’s empty when you load a new Co2
Does the umarex’s slide come back?
no
The daisy 426 is a no-brainer. I own a different Daisy with a magazine and it absolutely will not hold the BBS in the magazine. It is useless
I agree,my 426 has been good to e so far.
Without knowing of any, I bought the 426; and I would not change it for anything. greetings from Chile. Nice video.
@@gesantia1 It has been my favorite.
Thx for the video.
Liked and already Subscribed. 👍
Cheers 🙏
thanks, I subscribed back.
@@RobbsHomemadeLife Cheers Robb. I'll be looking at more of your videos. Namaste.
So cheap to buy in US. In the UK the Daisy is £70 which is around 85-90 us dollars.
I had a Umarex and found it to be a load of Garbage.
That's just not right. You should be able to get them for the same cheaper price.
Umarex is better
10/8 Power
10/8 Accuracy
10/9 Loading
Umarex ts junk, ive had two go bad in less than a year.. BB getting stuck, not firing just jamming JUST JUNK
You using copper or steel (zinc)? I've heard of lots of issues with misfires and jamming with copper, but not with zinc
For the daisy 426 do you need to pull the hammer back
I don't think so
He talks like kermit but he doesn’t have the voice
that is the nicest compliment I have had this month.
@@RobbsHomemadeLife can you monnt a red dot on the umarex.
The daisy power line 426 is better
I kinda like Daisy myself. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I think the umarex xbg is just as good as the daisy power 426. A d i like the magazine. Better on the xbg .i thi the xbg is just as good as the daisy powerline 426.@RobbsHomemadeLife
I think you had your mind already made up o. The daisy power line 426
Quiero lenguaje en español

Huuh?🤨🤔
