SIG Sauer X-Five P226 BB Pistol

With it's weight and blow back, it's almost like shooting a .22.
A great training aid and the accuracy isn't bad either. Enough so it's fun to shoot.

Pros
This weapon will run like a sewing machine if prep steps are taken. 1. locate an 8" nylon rod that will fit in a .177 barrel. For the occasional jam, just insert the nylon rod into the muzzle and gently push the pellet back into the magazine. 2. I have found that crosman Premier pointed hunting pellets 7.4 grain work the best for me. When loading pellets into the 20 round magazine using your finger or thumb doesn't always position the pellet or seat the pellet properly. This is where a pellet seat comes in handy. When you use a pellet seat it centers the pellet within the mags holder and it will also remove small spherical imperfections and better seal the pellet skirt which equals ZERO JAMS! 3. Pellet seat.

Cons
Inform buyers in the guns nomenclature or manual how to safely UN jam the weapon without damaging the magazine.

I have shot a real 9mm & 45( SIG ), and the real gun, just a 9mm alone does not feel like the BB gun. The kick and feel of the real gun is different! Just go today or tonight too a gun range that has many different handguns to choose from and rent one on a lane for 1 hour to enjoy ! The BB gun is a lot of fun to train with, but only 300 p.s.i . That's even better for whomever does not to shoot a real handgun. ...
Enjoy!

GOD BLESS YOU

Pros
98% FULLY FUNCTIONAL BB GUN. REALISTIC WEIGHT TO THE REAL HANDGUN. EASY TO LEARN WITH!

Cons
A LITTLE HEAVY FOR TODAY'S HANDGUN'S ONLY 300 P.S.I .? HARD TO LOAD QUICKLY. USES A LOT OF CO2 TO FAST, THAT REDUCES HOW MANY TIMES YOU CAN SHOOT.

This is the most realistic looking and feeling BB/pellet pistol I have owned and shot. The blow-back system adds realism, too.

Pros
Looks and feels like the real item.

Cant get off more than 1-2 shots in a row, then co2 cartridge drains out....

Cons
Doesnt work for long

I bought this because it is very similar in weight and construction to the real thing and I wanted to get to know how to take it down for cleaning, etc. as well as how a real 9mm version would feel. I concur that the extra mag is a good idea as this gun goes through CO2 like popcorn; getting about 50 - 60 rounds per cartridge. Fairly accurate out of the box but I'm a little disappointed in the lack of power which I guess that is the tradeoff for blowback realism.

Pros
Great dry fire / training gun, accurate for weight & feel. Good value.

Cons
Under powered, rear site not adjustable or equipped with white dots to help aim. It is a CO2 hog which jams occasionally, especially as the power is dropping.

I've used it to shoot pop cans and the accuracy on this is fantastic. Id recommend this to anyone.

I've bwwn wanting to have this gun for a long time. This pistol was selling on higher price in local retailer so I just waited until this website had it on sale! and finally got it in my hand.... I fell in love with this one. So realistec feel and recoil action! Accuracy is one of the strong suit of this pistol plus you see this handsome pistol in lots of action movies!!! Cool!

The weight is nice and realistic due to the primarily metal construction. The magazine is nice, heavy and realising looking. Be careful where you shoot this as it might scare people due to its realistic appearance.

Pros
Weight Solid construction Replace the magazine instead of the whole pistol when the seals go out Realistic appearance

Cons
Haven't found anything yet.

To be honest, when I first got this (one of my first blowbacks) I was less than impressed. The plastic grips, the lower velocity, the fact that the mag drops out like a brick if it's not loaded juuuuuust right all had this thing relegated to the back of my gun closet. But a little research got me a finger groove hogue grip sleeve which made it worlds more comfortable!! A new magazine to replace the one that got a bit dented from dropping out of the grip helped get me over that little annoyance, and I quickly learned that unlike some of my other guns the slide has to be locked back when inserting a new mag. I lubed her up nicely, and decided to give it one more go. I'm terribly glad I did!!

This is a GREAT piece for any collection. The weight alone is fantastic as it makes the recoil (especially with a new Co2 cartridge) something that grabs your attention. It's ACCURATE, once you get used to the weight and I would venture a guess it's one of the more accurate pistols in my collection - even WITHOUT the adjustable rear sights the open version has. That grip sleeve made it so comfortable I often find myself holding it just to hold it so I'd recommend getting one of those for sure, plus the finger groove gives you that tactical feeling and who doesn't enjoy that?

The blowback with such a heavy slide does make Co2 a tiny issue, but I can still get several full mags before I notice even the hint of a performance drop.

I have developed a little game. My target is in the basement at the end of the hallway that leads to the stairs. I have printed several 11 x 17 "hostage type" targets. I start around the corner on one side of the hall, step out, and as quickly as I can locate the target, aim, and fire while moving across the open space to the other side of the hall. It's a blast! This Sig is currently tied for first place in accuracy.

I can't recommend this one enough for killing copious amounts of paper.

Pros
Heavy slide creates real recoil feel, accurate, realistic weight and feel in the hands.

Cons
Adjustable rear sights, and extended magazine so you can have more shots, and, of course, MORE POWER! I have seen this gun rated between 300 and 312 fps. If it could be brought to the 330 fps range I think you'd have an airgun that was truly tough to beat.

Great gun in almost every way imaginable, BUT it has one MAJOR flaw....the CO2 seal fail very quickly and almost always. the issue is the manufacturer has chosen to make the seal out of a hard plastic material as opposed to a softer rubber type seal, and as we all know, plastic exposed to COLD will become brittle and break. The geniuses at cybergun didn't think about replacement parts, hence you cannot find ANY. So, this gun becomes a throw away for $100+. i found a online store that sells lots of these (leaking/broken seal) for $20-$40...that's how frequently they fail. maybe you will get lucky, but i expect more than luck when i pay $100 or more

Pros
most everything BUT the CO2 seal...

Cons
THE CO2 SEAL...not really a gun without it
