It's easy to field strip. The pin closest to the front nock out. A plastic door drops remove the slide. Second take out the two pins removing the pellet feeder. Remove the barrel and thoroughly clean and lubricate. Reinstall everything as you removed things

The number of shots per co2. I think if it was not a blow back you would get more shots from a co2

Looks great but performance could be much better

The entire gun itself and the fast shipping I got!

The spring for the 510 fps they advertised.

if you're looking for something real and fun at the sometime this is for you!

Right out of the package this gun feels good, a little on the heavy side, super easy co2 loading with no tool, I really like that. The first 2 out of three shots nailed the can and it was clear this thing has a lot more punch than any of my BB guns. Very accurate

The Package make it look like a toy and the clips don't always load a pellet and since it does not stay open or have any way of checking the barrel you waste time,co2 and reliability

This is A nice gun but I expected more from SIG and would gladly pay 50 dollars more for a better working model of this same gun

Easy to insert the co2, just open the back, insert co2 and squeeze. No need to take off grip. Rated 510 fps, I haven't actually checked this but it's one of the most highest rated co2's, but it depends on the weight of your pellet. My 4th air hand gun, if I'd got this one first I'd have two air hand guns, both sig p226 Thinking about getting another one and retiring my others..

NOTHING

Buy this one first, for the price it's the best.

Looks nice. Nice heft. Realistic blowback. Only had it in working order for about a month.

Better magazine/magazine release. Need procedure for clearing jams.

Magazine jammed in the butt after using four magazines. Only shot 64 rounds. Can't get the magazine out. Contacted customer support. They told me to try using a cleaning rod in the barrel. No luck. Magazine is still stuck. Sent three more emails to customer support. They must be busy with other orders. I hope I hear from them by the end of the month.

Weight, heft, blowback, metal construction, the CO2 loading mechanism. (simple, ingenious. very keen.)

Adjustable Sights - Please. For the love of God and Decent Accuracy. And a second clip would be nice.

I want to like this air gun more than I do but the inaccuracy is a real killjoy. I put a hundred rounds through it today and was very disappointed. I'll clean it and try again tomorrow but reading other reviews, I'm not holding my breath. This would be a GREAT plinker if it just had adjustable sights. I thought SIG would do better, but I can't say it is worth the $$$ as is.

This gun is like holding a real P226 9mm gun. I actually own a Sig P226 9mm and have compared them and they are almost the same weight and size. Very accurate and reliable. You can rapid fire this gun and it has wonderful response.

The only thing that i don't like and i feel could be improved upon is the trigger pull. There is a fairly long trigger pull until it actually engages to fire the pellet. But after using it for a while you get used to it.

Its a very great air gun that you would love to shoot. I would say never to flash this gun around anyone to make them think its a real gun, because it looks like a real gun, and it could get you hurt. And if you are every pulled over by the Police, make sure you let them know what type of gun it is, and follow all the demands from the Officer concerning the gun. This gun could get you killed or injured if miss-handled. If you are wanting a real feel and cheap plinking of target gun, i would highly recommend this gun.

cannot adjust the sight. it shot low and to the left. if you know how to adjust the sight let me know.

This gun is more accurate than Remington R1 RAC 1911 and Makarov that most people rave about (I own all of them). Good recoil but not so strong that you would be feeling like losing control on target. It's even quieter than Makarov. I have never shot a real Sig Sauer but I did 45 cal Glock. The experience is very similar to 45 cal Glock.

This gun does not have a slide stopper (The slide stopper you see is fake). I would include the slide stopper, so that, it can easily be field stripped for cleaning and have the capability of having slide stay back once the magazine is emptied just like Remington R1 RAC 1911. That would provide this gun a 100% Sig Sauer experience.

If you are looking to buy this gun don't pay too much attention to the negative ratings. Is it a perfect gun? No, it is not but Pros of this gun outweighs the Cons. If you ask me, I like it. I would recommend anyone to buy this gun.

Authentic weight, look and feel. One of 2 pistols actually made by SIG in New Hampshire, not an outsourced replica. Fantastic accuracy and plenty of power for a CO2 power plant. The patented CO2 loading mechanism is beautiful.

Large pellets will not fit in magazine. The largest pellet i found that will cycle and function was the Gamo Rocket. Preaditor Polymag rounds will also fit if you slightly dull the pointed tip.(the sharp point catches when cycling)

All in all wonderful gun that puts a smile on your face. I am an owner of the 9mm MK25 SIG. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference in appearance, weight or feel, unless knowing exactly where to look. I get about 3 full 16 round mags before noticing a drop off in power and blowback.

Weight and heft, very realistic feel and look. A good amount of recoil, the dual magazine and the way that you insert the C02 canister. Trigger pull is decent.

I would like this gun to be more accurate, although it seems that many replica firearms are not going to be as accurate as purpose built air pistols such as the Crosman 1377. In general I really like the overall build quality, look and feel of this gun. The only other thing I would change is the slide. The frame is very convincing and feels solid and heavy. The slide feels almost hollow, I'm assuming it has to be lightweight to reciprocate, but also the ejection port is not cut out. It's just sort of recessed into the slide and that ruins the realism to a certain extent. Otherwise it's a near perfect replica.

Overall I really like this airgun, feels and looks very similar to the real thing. Not all of the controls function, in fact the only that do are the magazine release and the decocker/safety. The takedown lever and the slide release are simply molded into the frame, although they both look very realistic. Overall I would definitely recommend this airgun.

Excellent "heft" and blowback action. The best "feel" of any blowback CO2 pistol I have ever tried. Excellent no muss no fuss CO2 loading, brilliant, just brilliant. But be careful, it is possible to bear trap yourself with the CO2 lever.

Please, please, please put an adjustable rear sight on this pistol! It's so close to being a genuinely GREAT product if it didn't shoot 3" low and 1" left at 20'. (I exchanged the first one for a second for this reason and it did the same thing.). Get rid of the silly threaded barrel and the anchor logo. Use the product cost savings to install an adjustable rear sight. I'm more interested in shooting straight than pretending to be a SEAL.

This pistol has an excellent single action trigger. With a bridge mounted to the accessory rail and a mini red dot sight it shoots quarter size groups at 20' shooting off hand. With an adjustable sight you can actually put that group on top of the thing you are aiming at. Unfortunately, the pistol sights are so far off you can't even successfully plink at a soda can at 20' with the "iron" (plastic) sights which for me is a HUGE disapointment given how good every other aspect of this pistol is.

Hefty real feel. Fit perfectly in a p226 holster. Has bb and pellet compacity. Blowback and sa/da is good. Working hammer is nice. I like the quick co2 change method.

This gun is pretty inaccurate. Horazontally fine but vertically at least 4 inches low. The magazine should be a full mag instead of a stick mag. The color is painted on not died. So my wedding ring has already worn away the paint. The only working lever is the safety. The slide lock should work as well as the disassembly pin. I feel if this is a replica, it should function as a replica. The slide should have a cut out like the X5 model. Also would like to be able to adjust and change the sights.

Looks nice but doesnt function very well.

Gun weight is very good when compared to actual Sig P226. Trigger is outstanding. De-cocker works. CO2 cartridge loading is outstanding. Sig stands behind their warranty unlike Umarex.

Get rid of the threaded barrel part.

So far over 2000 pellets thru each gun, purchased 2 guns, and no problems what so ever. Sig gave a 20% discount from items ordered from them for registering the gun, so I got 2 20% off coupon codes.

Performs as advertised. Magazine is a bit tedious to load but works well. Having never used a real 226 I cannot comment on realism.

It is easy to load the CO2 and the peletes. Very accurate.

Have the weapon come with an extra magazine.

Even though the manual doesn't tell you to add a drop of oil on the CO2, it will extend the life of your weapon.

This was my first dealings with "Sig Saure", and based on a recommendation of an Associate, I decided to get the Actual Weapon, and this Replica was to assist in the Traing, "Dry Fire, Accuracy with the Pellets", before going to the Range. Works GR8T Overall !!!

Nothing, NADA!

Test it out to SEE if it will Work for U!!

Very well made. Feels like the real thing.

Make the gun accurate!

The gun only shoots 3-4 in groups at 12 ft. Not accurate at all. I talked to a Sig rep and he said it was not designed to be accurate, only to allow people with Sig P226 gun to practice drawing and shooting at home.

VERY REALALISTIC WELL MADE

NEEDS ADJUSTABLE SIGHTS. NOT VERY ACCURATE BEYOND 15 FEET

This gun is supposedly comparable in size and weight to the real Sig Sauer P226. I have never held the real one, but this certainly feels like a real gun in your hand. It is solidly built and for the money a good deal. I like the 16 round clip used to load the pellets. The way it slides and clicks into place is cool and having the ability to flip it around after the first 8 rounds are done for a total of 16 is a bonus. The single and double action adds to the realism, although it doesn't work exactly like a real gun, it is a close simulation and fun to cock it by pulling and sliding back the top of the gun. The blow-back action is also pretty cool and considering you are using extra CO2 for this feature you get a lot of shots out of 1 cartridge.

Two things I don't like about this gun: 1. The accuracy of this gun could be better. From about 25-30 feet away firing at a target it missed a few times and is a bit all over the place for the ones that hit. I was expecting something a little better considering it is using pellets and has a rifled barrel. Perhaps it has something to do with the blow-back action? Will try different pellets to see if it makes a difference. 2. The grips are one of the few things on the gun that is made of plastic. To me the texture feels a little ruff on my hands and a little cheap. I might upgrade the grips to something else.

My requirements for this purchase were the following: Shoots pellets Rifled barrel Blow-back All metal This gun met of my requirements and the price was right, especially as compared to other guns on the market that meet the same criteria. A little disapointed with the accuracy, but if im shooting within 20 feel it is good enough to have fun shooting at targets or doing some plinking. As I mention in my review I might experiment with different types of pellets and a red dot laser to see if I can tighten it up a little. Overall I'm happy with the purchase for my collection.
