Realistic weight and feel. Strong blow back. Love the double ended magazine.

Adjustable rear sight and make it field strippable

When you install co2, close the handle with a firm quick motion

Loads of fun to shoot.

Sometimes it shoots blanks when the CO2 cartridge is getting low.

Great quality and function...
This will be great for some practice in my garage.

Weight of this gun feels amazing. It is very accurate with or without the red laser sight. Blowback is so quick you need 2x slow-mo to see it. 100% worth the money and I would recommend to anyone wanting to buy a new pellet pistol.

Looks and feels so much like the real 9mm pistol.

The magazine 20 round belt fed is a disaster. My first 20 rounds gun jammed 7 times. Who wants to drop the magazine each time if possible to check pellets. I found that a . 177 cleaning rod gently pushed into the barrel will sometime let you push back the jammed pellet, then you gotta drop the magazine and dispose of that pellet. VERY AGGRAVATING!! But I really liked the feel of the gun so I kepted it about 2 more weeks and tried to shoot it on the weekends. I finally tried adding a drop or two of gun oil to help the belt feed move more freely, no good. So I'm thinking I'm gonna send it back next weekend. But by then I had a pellet jam in the barrel unknowingly and tried to shoot again and it jammed. It was while trying to push the second pellet back so I could drop the magazine I couldn't because the other pellet was jammed in the barrel. Now I could not even drop the magazine and I couldn't use my push rod because the pellet in the barrel was completely stuck. Paper weight now!

When Sig Saur fixes the belt fed pellet problem I'll order me another one. Very high quality but poor design with the belt fed delivery for the pellets. I sent mine back for a refund. Make sure when buying there is at least a 60 return policy.

It is all that I expected. Great feel to it and accurate and great idea with the co2 loading!

Bought this pellet gun for Grouse up close ,, fired 10 shots jammed and never fired again,, cartridge jams and very undependable gun,,, my friend has one also and same piece of junk

I like the feel and weight of the gun. My one complaint is when I attempt to fire several shots in a row, sometimes it doesn't always fire right away, almost like a hesitation.

The magazine is difficult to load and slide into the gun

A great addition to my handgun collection. Is nearly an exact replica of my P226 in weight, balance and handling.

Fun replacement for the real and feel of this model. Nice little plinking gun to enjoy the need to aim and shoot!

My p226, although it looks the part is just a paperweight, barely enough power to puncture a cardboard box at 6 feet and it is a single shot only because the magazine does not advance leaving me to drop the mag and advance by hand each time.
I have tried to get an RMA but have been ignored.

I bought the P226 Air gun to practice shooting at home (in addition to dry firing). I bought this gun because I own an P226 Legion and I wanted an air gun that resemble my original gun. I ended up buying two air guns because I broke the first one (or wasn't it my fault? ... keep reading).
- Look and Feel: The air gun looks and feel (especially in terms of weight) like the original P226. The trigger pull is okish ... meaning that the double action is quite off (i.e. it's lighter in the air gun than the firearm), but the single action is close. Reset is also close enough.
- Precision: Velocity is not constant because it's a factor of the CO2 cylinder ... the newer the cylinder, the faster the pellet. You need to get used to it.
- Reliability: Terrible ... absolutely terrible. I can't shoot 8 rounds in sequence as they get stuck in the magazine. I think temperature plays a role as the metal pellets expand with heat. I am in Atlanta ... you can imagine that the gun stops working after the first/second reload outside. Moreover, I said above that I broke my first gun ... here's the caveat: the gun might not shoot for 2 reasons ... because the pellet gets stuck in the magazine or because it gets stuck in the barrel. Because most pellets got stuck in the magazine, I didn't check the barrel of my first air gun after every shot (thinking they didn't leave the magazine). Eventually, after a few rounds I realized that the pellets were stuck in the barrel. I tried to remove them with a rod, but I couldn't and I had to through away the first air gun.
Long story short, I suggest you look for a gun that can be field stripped ... probably the airsoft P229 (even through I haven't tried), but for sure avoid this P226 air pistol.

What a crapy magazine mechanism. If by any chance is any play between the pellet and the chamber it get stuck. If you use a holster that ain't loose it gets inject and stuck. It could be just a pain if you could field strip it but alas. Thank god the local dealer is good but still ain't fun to use. I have a feeling that ain't very consistent in accuracy but I can't really use it much.

plenty of shots

sometimes does not shoot rounds

solid

lots of shots

more power

seems solid

This air pistol is so much fun! We love it! I am giving 4 stars because the CO2 cartridge was not included, as it said it would be.

Great practice pistol - saves the wear and tear on my real P226 and saves the wallet as well.

It stopped working after a while, not too happy with it.

High quality, easy to load, great practice pistol. Looks just like my real P226!
