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!

As indicated above, this air gun looks and feels like my P226 Mk 25. It provides a good substitute for both dry and live fire, both without having to go to the range with the current ammo situation, it also provides an inexpensive way to practice. It does, however, not fire every pellet. Cleaning, if at all, should be addressed.

Works fine. I haven't had a chance to test it for accuracy yet.

It's a Joy. I previously purchased a P365 Air Pistol for practice drawing and shooting as my carry gun is a P365. I enjoyed it to the point of ordering this P226. I have a P226 Legion RX and thought this would be a fun and useful way to practice in my back yard without upsetting the neighbors. This air gun is fun and useful, and very accurate for a pellet gun. Nothing takes the place of practicing with a real gun and real ammunition, but when you can't get to the range or find 9mm ammo, this is a very good replacement. I recommend this. Get one and have fun.

A way to keep my weekly target practices at home with the COVID-19 .

No continuous fire have to turn saftey on and off between each shot for some unknown reason

Sig quality from performance to appearance. Great air pistol for practice and training.

Great for target practice and all around tin can shooting having fun with it

I am sorry I purchased this. I bought it to practice shooting targets in yard. The point of impact varies so much from one shot to the next that it is almost useless.

The P226 air pistol has the feel of a real P226 handgun. A good practice tool for training.

I bought it for my boyfriend. He seems to really like it so 5 stars from me!
