UX RaceGun CO2 4.5mm BB Blowback Air Pistol Set by UMAREX
The UX RaceGun is Umarex leaning fully into the “competition style” CO2 pistol idea. It’s based on IPSC-style race setups, meaning it’s built for speed, fast handling, and lots of visual “look how serious I am” energy.
It comes pre-kitted with the kind of accessories people usually end up buying later anyway, so it’s more of a ready-to-run speed platform than a standard replica pistol.
Key Features
- Full metal blowback system with fast cycling action
- Single action trigger tuned for quick response
- Compensator, jet funnel, and extended controls included
- Adjustable and exchangeable sights
- Picatinny bridge mount for optics
- Includes free GDS point sight
- 22-round magazine
- IPSC-style race pistol design
Performance / Use Case
This is built for speed shooting style use, not precision target work or realism training. Everything about it is aimed at fast target transitions, quick sight acquisition, and reduced handling time between shots.
The extended controls and jet funnel are there to make reloads and manipulation smoother, especially under timed or competitive-style shooting. The blowback action is fairly sharp, but like all CO2 race-style setups, efficiency is not the main event here.
Accuracy is fine for short range reactive targets, but if you’re expecting tight groups at distance, this is not the right personality type of pistol.
Build & Design
At just over 1kg, it has a solid, competition-style weight that helps with recoil control during rapid fire strings. The full metal construction keeps it stable, while the longer frame and attachments give it a very “ready to compete” look.
The Picatinny bridge mount is a big practical upgrade, letting you run a red dot without awkward side mounts or compromises. The included GDS sight means it’s usable out of the box without immediately needing extra purchases, which is always suspiciously helpful.
Controls are extended and exaggerated, which is exactly what you want in a speed-focused setup where fiddly is the enemy.

The Racegun is very clearly built for one thing: going fast. It’s not subtle, it’s not traditional, and it definitely isn’t pretending to be a duty pistol.
What it does offer is a ready-made speed shooting platform with most of the “upgrades” already included, which saves you the usual rabbit hole of bolt-ons and experimentation.
If you want controlled precision, look elsewhere. If you want to run stages in your head like you’re in a competition you’ve definitely not entered, this fits the brief quite well.
