SIG Sauer P226 Reviews

I carry a Sigg 226 SR ,pellet gun match is the weight size fix my holster and it’s an Excellent choice. I use the pellet gun for zipper drills and holster draws .

Nothing

Everything

Jammed misfired from the day I got it. I left the country shortly after I got it and when I got back home the warranty expired.

Nothing

Reliably

I bought one in November and after no more than 50 shots it started failing and jamming up. I cant release the clip it jammed in. I bought an extra clip and I went away for two months right after I bought it so the warranty expired. My first purchase with Pyramid and I dont know how to get in touch with them to see how i can get it fixed.

Everything about this air gun

I would make it feildestrippeble

No

Weight is like holding a real gun. Would be kind of heavy for a weak person. Fun to shoot!

Shoots great. Purchased for 12 year old grandson. He loves it. Looks just like my 9mm P226 MK25.

Fit and finish are excellent. This is an exact replica of the P226 firearm in terms of weight feel and balance. The Co2 lock up design is the easiest I've seen on a pistol and the mags click solidly in place and eject smoothly. de-cocker/safety is a nice feature. Getting 50 shots +/- before power fades which is not bad for a blow back pistol of this weight. No issues with mag insertion or removal, only wad cutters were used however. Longer pellets will likely not function well with this type of mag. This thing likes Crosman Competition Wad Cutters 7.4 g which is great because they are relatively cheap and easy to find.It also shot well with Beeman 1235 coated Wad Cutters 7.9 g. it did not like Meistercluglen 7.0g or RWS Match 10s.

The trigger is just "so-so". Double action pull is not bad but long. The travel distance is very long in single action and the last bit is gritty. A shorter pull (particularly in single action), and shorter reset would be a big improvement. Accuracy out of the box is bad. Windage was decent, but elevation was way off due to short fixed rear sight. The pistol shot 6' low at 7 meters and there is not enough front sight height to file down to make the correction. Height was added to the "ears" of the rear sight by super gluing plastic 1/8' bits in place, and then filed down to dial this thing in. Sig should consider either replacing the fixed rear sight with something adjustable- or- shipping with a taller fixed rear sight . These pistols are used at ranges of 7-10 meters and should hit POA at those distances. After reworking the rear sight, the pistol now hits the 9 ring at 10 meters benched and is just a whisper high at 7 meters.

A decent pistol for the money but the accuracy / rear sight issue is a real problem. The ability to take the pistol down as others do would be nice but not critical. Having an open ejection port as others do would add to the authenticity and lighten the slide weight a bit to save on CO2 but not critical.

Too weak. Not powerful enough! Shaky design. Can only use the smallest pellet or will jam.

Shoots great. Looks great. Feels great. Solid. I bought some extra mags to save on reload time. Nice! Looks like the real gun so be careful!

Nice solid gun just doesn't work. Had the P226 MK25 CO2 a couple days Pellet in Barrel after only 40 rounds. Sig was replaced. Second one lasted about twice as long. FYI

Works great, looks great, easy to use, very enjoyable!

Yeah the down side is the gas doesn’t last but for three mags of shooting. Trying to use the 226 to help me with my 229 9mm shooting. Been meaning to contact tech support and see if this is normal to have to replace gas cylinder. I enjoy my P229.

This is an awesome tool to practice with… weight, feel, look is incredibly realistic… I practice with it all the time.

Nice, but inaccurate,

The wobbly barrel. this makes the gun very inaccurate. may also leak CO2 so that also need fixing

The barrel is just a bit loose in the frame assembly. It is fixable if you take it a part and put some electric tape to fill the small gaps between the trigger frame and the barrel. You can find the mod on YouTube if interested. Check the CO2 valve it may need some PTFE on the valve cap that is located behind the hammer, or you can also use nail polish or LockTite to seal that leak,

I was ready to accept that this pistol is not accurate but I was impressed. At 10 feet, this pistol put 4 out of 5 pellets into a 2" target shooting hand-held. At 6 yards. I was putting 5 out of 8 shots into the same target. The pistol shoots a tad low and slightly to the left but I was able to compensate using the non-adjustable white dot sights. Performance Specs were as follows: Using Crossman 7.4 grain Wadcutters: Max Velocity= 324 fps, Min Velocity=321 fps, Average Velocity=322.2 fps, SD=0.97 fps, fpe=1.71. Using H&N Field Trophy 8.64 grain Wadcutters: Max Velocity=298 fps, Min Velocity=284 fps, Average Velocity=289.4 fps, SD=4.8 fps fpe=1.61. Neither grain weight made spec. Using H&N Field Target Trophy non-lead Greens at 5.71 grain, Max Velocity=427 fps, Min Velocity=385 fps, Average Velocity=406.8 fps, fpe=2.1, but SD=17.75 fps and Variance was 315 fps! Greens are fast and made spec but were all over the place.

Not much. Pellets are easy to load. I shot 64 7.4 grain Crossman Premier Wadcutters with no sign of diminished gas. Weight and Balance are solid and blowback is harder than expected for a pellet pistol. While I am not the worlds best shot (for sure!), by my standards, this pistol is a great performer. If I had to find something wrong with this pistol, it would be the separate mag from CO2 arrangement. Normally, I like a one-piece magazine, containing both. However, I am slowly becoming a fan of the double 8 shot mag setup and the piercing mechanism on this pistol is far superior to the adjustable thumb wheel on some 'snap it closed' piercing setups.

Choose your ammunition carefully before you pull the trigger for the first time. Unless you intend to shoot BBs, only, on this pistol, do not shoot BBs or the rifling will suffer over time and your accuracy in shooting pellets will suffer. I chose pellets first and will spare the rifling the punishment of steel ammunition. I bought two extra magazines and I advise you to do the same. I have put 4 magazines through this pistol and it was still going. Not sure yet what the final number of shots per fill will be but it is very good so far. This pistol is an example of the old adage, "See for Yourself". While, I would never buy this pistol for competition use, how many of us use our CO2 pistols for competition? Do yourself a favor. Check the P226 out. This pistol is a keeper.

Works great. Like the way it functions and weighs like the real thing even the decocker

Very authentic copy of a real P226. Metal frame and slide. Decocking safety. Nicely finished. Groups good. Easy CO cartridge installation and removal. Only areas of improvement would be better quality magazine and sights. Pellets fit properly in one side of the magazine but loosely in the other side. Shoots very low....needs a taller rear sight.

CO2 cartridge loading system is AWESOME. My other CO2 pistols all fail at the cartridge seal after a short time with the uncontrollable squeeze of a thumbscrew,

Plastic magazine seems flimsy, full metal like the pistol would have been nicer. Lock the slide after firing last pellet,

Very nice replica with realistic look and feel

Nice look and feel, realistic blowback action and loud enough to give a semi-realistic experience. Fun to shoot.

The safety is extremely hard to move, it takes two hands because it is so stiff, making it unusable for practice removing from a holster and shooting unless I leave the safety off. Frequently misfires by not advancing to the next pellet-the gun fires but no pellet comes out. This is fixed by continuously pushing up on the magazine while firing, so obviously there is a mechanical problem. Also, the sights are way off. At 8 yards, using a pistol rest, it makes a reasonably tight grouping of about 2 inches in diameter, but unfortunately, this grouping is low by about 4 inches and to the left by about 2 inches. This was the best result I could get from trying various pellets. It has a nice look, feel and firing action, but unfortunately the mechanical problems and inaccuracy make the gun useless to me. I was surprised by the problems, because the gun has a high quality look and feel to it, but the design and/or manufacturing are poor.

Pyramid Air took good care of me and promptly allowed a refund. I appreciated the excellent customer service.

Great training sidearm,solid balanced. No issues just a steady worker Pairs well with my 320
