Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.I'm assuming the magazine is the same as the P226? Is this correct?
asked James from USAThis is the correct magazine https://www.airgundepot.com/sig-sauer-16-round-pistol-magazine-177-caliber.html?sid=322
Adam from USAWhat is the thread size on the barrel?
asked James from USA
The weight. It keeps coming back to the weight for me. I've owned countless air guns, but none of them come close to this SIG's quality. You can tell they didn't cut corners or skimp out on materials. It feels just like the real version. So if you're looking for something to help you get to used to the weight, feel and action of a real weapon, then look no further.
Pros
Looks, feels and weighs just like the real version. An unloaded P229 comes in at about 1.9 lbs, this air version weighs 2.1 lbs. The only difference is most of the weight is confined to the slide area, so it feels like you're holding an empty SIG. But this helps the blowback simulate recoil. We've put about 500 shots through it. Most flawlessly. Every now and then, it will misfire and the pellet will remain in the belt, getting skipped. But I think this is a problem with the feed system. I'm not too impressed with it's power. It will eat through an aluminum can (e&e), but it won't penetrate a hard plastic water jug at 15 feet. Both hollowpoint and spitzer type pellets bounce back off. We're transitioning to printed targets next week, so I'll come back and post the accuracy test as soon as I have it. So far, I'd recommend this handgun for plinking, target practice and training purposes. I can't say I recommend it for hunting or self defense. Maybe in a pinch?
Cons
The magazine feed system. Not only does 8 and flip get old, but the rotary belt doesn't seem to really prefer any certain type of pellet. Lighter pellets won't stay in place and seem to just jump out the belt the second they get the chance. Heavier pellets stay in place, but you lose velocity and stopping power. Nine grain H&N pellets are the only ones that haven't fallen out on me. It also eats through CO2. Only the first four magazines have bite.
