SIG Sauer Airguns | Airgun Depot

"Thinking outside the box" is a phrase you often hear when people talk about SIG SAUER firearms, and SIG's creativity and innovation doesn't stop when they make airguns. From their smooth cam loading co2 systems to the 30rd belt-fed magazines on the P320, MCX and MPX to the ASP20 magnum break barrel with its keystone lockup system and new trigger design, SIG is on the frontline of airgun innovation. When you pick up a SIG SAUER airgun you will understand the motto, "Shoots like a SIG -- Because it is one."

With origins stretching back to the middle of the 19th century, SIG SAUER has become one of the largest and most respected gun manufacturers in the world. Guns like the P226 are known for their accuracy and reliability and have been adopted by elite military and law enforcement agencies around the world, and the P320 has been chosen as the US Army's standard issue sidearm.

SIG Advanced Sport Pellet (ASP) CO2 replica pistols and rifles are matched to original model specs and engineered to SIG quality standards using authentic materials and, where necessary, patented performance innovations. In addition to CO2 replicas, SIG produces its own line of airguns beginning with the ASP20 break barrel rifle, which brings many exciting innovations to the airgun world.

Replicas

Perfected for practice with every advantage built in, these airguns are the economic, authentic answer to training more often, more effectively. The ability to shoot an airgun in a basement or a backyard means a lot more trigger time. Some replicas, like the Tactical 1911 and the P226 X-Five also tear down like the firearm versions. The slide blowback on SIG's CO2 pistols is strong enough to make you need to reacquire the sight picture after each shot, and the accuracy ensures positive feedback regarding shot placement.

Life-Tested

Each airgun goes through rigorous testing and the design has been "life-tested" with 15,000 shots to ensure that professionals who train with these airguns experience exceptional performance and true hands-on operation. If you are considering buying a SIG firearm, first acquiring a CO2 pistol will enable you to make your purchase with confidence because you will know how the gun handles, how it feels, and whether it suits you for concealed carry. Paying around $100 for a functional replica is a small price to pay for the knowledge that you are buying the right firearm for you, and after you buy the firearm you will have a trainer that will be invaluable in developing shooting skills that will transfer to the firearm.

Fun

And, of course, these guns are just plain fun! You may never be able to afford a SIG MPX firearm, but at less than a tenth of the cost you can pick up the CO2 version and have a blast shooting it your backyard or basement!

What You Should Know

All of Sig's duty/combat pistols such as the P226 and P320, and their CO2 replicas, are set up to shoot with a combat sight picture. That is, the front sight completely covers the bullseye of the target, instead of a six o'clock (pumpkin on a post) sight picture. CO2 is temperature sensitive and all CO2 airguns should be shot when the ambient temperature is at least 60° Fahrenheit (at least 70° is ideal) or the CO2 may freeze up and performance drop off.
