The air rifle itself is cool, not very accurate, but don't expect too much for this price. It's really fun to shoot at short distances and it has more power than many more expensive air rifles.

The spring-powered windówka DX17 is constructed from a combination of plastic and metal. Components such as the lock, mounting elements, and internal mechanisms are made of metal. The grip features texturing to ensure a secure hold and prevent slippage during use.
.The windówka is capable of firing shotgun pellets (commonly known as Diabolo) in 4.5mm caliber, as well as spherical pellets (referred to as BB) 4.5mm and fluted pellets of 4.5mm. The BB magazine has a capacity of 15 rounds, while the chamber designed for Diabolo holds 1 pellet at a time.
The spring mechanism requires the shooter to manually retract the slide before each shot. The cocked spring drives the piston, resulting in an initial pellet velocity of 60 m/s.
A tactical safety lock positioned in front of the trigger guard offers protection against accidental discharge.
Windówka comes equipped with a fiber optic sighting system. Fiber-optic elements provide improved aiming speed and accuracy in low-light environments—making target acquisition easier after dusk or when shooting indoors.
Located beneath the barrel is a 22 mm RIS rail, allowing for attachment of additional accessories such as a laser sight or flashlight.
Included in the windówka set is a pusher tool to aid in the proper loading of diabolo pellets into the chamber.

A very nice product for a low price for learning how to shoot. I fired 1,000 rounds, both metal and plastic, which gave me a little summary. I do not agree with other opinions that it is impossible to aim or shoot relatively quickly and accurately. If you use it according to the instructions, there are no jams or empty barrels without a pellet. I recommend practicing your shooting technique and it will be fine. I recommend it for learning and fun—at this price, I am very satisfied.

I bought this airgun a few days ago without expecting too much. So I wasn't too disappointed. It looks great. The price is great too. Unfortunately, you can't say the same about its accuracy. Don't get me wrong. For a few meters it's acceptable. It's fun. But to be honest, you can't shoot accurately and consistently with it. Sometimes the shot goes wherever it wants, even though I do everything as instructed. Maybe after more shots and practice, it will become more accurate.

A pellet gun that shoots pellets. That's how I would sum it up. It serves the purpose I bought it for — something weak to teach my daughter the basics. Shooting at cans from a maximum of 3 meters. The sights are imprecise. From three meters it shoots high by about 3.5 cm. It's not a matter of skill, because I train at a shooting club on my Walther and I'm a good shot. The way you load the pellet also matters. 0.5 mm too shallow or too deep and the pellets go wherever they want. The trigger is heavy and there's a big kickback, but that's understandable with a spring-operated gun. The grip, contrary to what the manufacturer says, is NOT ergonomic. It's very narrow and digs into your hand. For reference, my hands are rather small and even so my finger can’t find the right position because the trigger is too close to the grip. Someone with big hands will struggle or have to use their knuckles to press the trigger. On the plus side, build quality is solid and everything fits together well—definitely better than the GAMO Compact for over 900 PLN, which I had the displeasure of owning. The slide works well, and when released just before cocking, it gives a very satisfying sound. The biggest downside to this air gun is the safety. Who was foolish enough to design it so the gun can only be put on safe after cocking? That's utter nonsense. At first I thought I had a faulty piece, but then I read in the instructions that it's actually by design. So, sarcastic congratulations to Umarex for this solution. Three stars only for the price and build quality.

Very good price/quality ratio. Great for garage shooting, both with darts and diabolo. Diabolo doesn't jam if you use the proper tool correctly. I recommend it.

Having already enjoyed playing ASG for a bit, I timidly wanted to try something different. Not risking much, I ordered myself an Umarex DX17 4.5 mm. I kind of expected a total failure. And here, to my surprise, perfect for an old geezer—it's a real pistol. Impressive, heavy, looks solid, multifunctional and supposedly precise. The sound of the shot is almost identical to live firearms. The only difference may be the decibels. Handling the gun requires the shooter to operate each step smoothly, calmly and with the necessary attention. Then, with joy (and some effort), you can just shoot for fun. For me, the plastic bbs hit surprisingly accurately from 5 meters. As for the rather small spread, no one has determined the cause yet. Maybe it's the hand, the pistol, the bbs...? In my opinion, overall it's really good.

For this price, you won't buy anything better, you can shoot and learn how to handle the air gun, it's ideal for beginners. It's not too powerful, which is a plus in terms of safety, but you still should wear protective glasses.

The only thing that's ok with this airgun is the looks. Everything else is weak, to put it mildly. - It jams a lot. - Accuracy. I'd like to talk to the genius who rated this thing’s accuracy as 'precise'. I'm really curious how this shooting master came to that conclusion. The only way for this 'product' to achieve that class is point-blank. Otherwise, you can't. Even if something finally comes out of the barrel, where it goes is a lottery. And the shooter has little influence over that. The shooting force ranges from nearly zero to completely crazy... I do not recommend it. Which is a shame—the looks and supposed accuracy class at a great price is what tempted me... They really should update that spec in the technical data. It turned out...

For 89.99 it's basically free for that pistol. Everything is plastic but quite thick and stiff, so almost nothing wobbles or creaks; only at the front near the barrel something sometimes squeaks. People write nonsense about it jamming and so on, probably because they didn’t even read the user manual. And they should, because operating the pistol is a bit complicated: you have to pull back the latch on the side, then pull the slide back, then set the safety to ‘safe’ mode, then open the magazine at the front of the barrel and load either one pellet or 16 BBs—you must not shoot BBs and pellets at the same time. Then close the magazine, push the slide forward until it clicks and you really need to use a lot of physical strength, then aim, set the safety to ‘fire’ (so the red marking is visible), and finally, take the shot. It’s a lot of steps, but I still like this pistol. If you learn to compensate for the big recoil caused by the rapid spring when shooting, it's pretty accurate.

For this price it's OK, but to be honest it's weak and jams a lot. You also have to put in a lot of effort to empty the magazine—often there are dry shots. Great for shooting at targets a few meters away.

Recommended purchase at a promotional price, even good for a collection. This pistol requires special handling, I like it—with steel and plastic BBs at 5–10 meters it performs quite well. It fits the hand nicely and has a unique shape, and its power is just sufficient. If you're using it for the first time, watch a video on YouTube about how it works.

Very good price/quality ratio. Great for garage shooting, both with darts and diabolo pellets. Diabolo pellets do not jam if you use the dedicated tool properly.

I do not recommend it. The pellets bounce off a plastic bottle, and after shooting 20 pellets, they wouldn't even come out of the barrel anymore. The construction is almost all plastic. Definitely do not recommend, it's better to pay a bit more and get something better.

The air gun keeps jamming on the very first day. To be fair, at this price you can't expect miracles, but it should at least be able to shoot—yet the pellet only comes out on the 10th try.
