SIG Sauer P226 X-Five magazine, flat base, .177 cal, 18rds

Its the Real Thing

Nothing

PA is one place I can trust to sell Original parts that fit older BB guns.

Original fit

CO2 system should be better as gas escapes in les than 24 hours if not completely used

None

I like to have two extra mags for my guns.

Lower price.

I'm happy with these mags so far.

First of All I like that Pyramyd Air still carries this Magazine ! I checked multiple sources , and to No-Avail , Nobody carried this .177 Magazine ! This Sturdy , Well Pressurized , Quality , Magazine by Palco , engineered by KJW's original Sig Sauer spec's , is a MUST have and welcomed spare Magazine for Your P226 X-Five GBB Pistol. Besides it's Rugged construction , and it's ability to hold 18 steel .177 BB's ,, Plus Pyramyd Air's Discount and it's 30 day Warranty ,,, You CANNOT Go WRONG !!!

The Price ...

I do believe that the First Quality an Airgunner like myself is looking for is REALISM in the Air Gun they are Buying . This Cybergun Magazine has All the attributes , and then some !

Ok, you gotta do some mag swaps during your shooting, right? This is the same that came with the gun, so not much else to really say. It works unless it leaks.

I had a CO2 leak on one of my mags after probably 10-15 CO2 cartridges. Better reliability would be nice. Also make the follower lock (and stay locked) BELOW the fill hole for easier loading. I have had trouble with the follower releasing while loading, flinging BBs all over.

Pyramyd more than made up for the defective unit by shipping me another one. They are awesome!

Flat bottom, it works . It was a replacement for the silver finish factory mag that leaked from the Get go. I prefer this lighter weight mag to the heavy extended mag

Optional Silver finish

Nothing

Everything as it does not work well with the Sig P226 X Five Open Combo. It has a flat base and does not have the extending base bumper that comes with the mag supplied with the pistol. Hence, It has to be shoved into the pistol and the follower often sticks and does not keep pushing the bbs up.

Look around for the mag that comes with the pistol.

It's hard to like something I wish I had not bought.

Correct listing to show that this is unsuitable for the P226 X-Five Open model.

This mag, while listed as a recommended accessory by Pyramyd for the X-Five Open (model 28852), is not suitable for that model. And as far as I can tell, no extra mags are available for that model, which has an extended mag well and requires a magazine bumper 1/4" longer than this one. This mag can be shoved up deep inside the X-Five Open and will function so I'm keeping it, but feel I was misled. For the record, the mag's packaging says it is meant for the model 28851 and the item's description does say that it fits models with fixed sights, but I trusted the recommendation, which was in error.
And speaking of errors, the packaging says it holds 21 rounds, not true.

I really like the fact that it is a replicated model of the actual magazine belonging to the Sig X5 that many special forces and several law enforcement agencies use. The mag is heavy and designed exactly like a real Sig Sauer mag with floor plate and frame work.

I would only make the Co2 feed line and seal in a better quality since I had one out of three purchased mags replaced.

I don't suggest using finger nails for holding the spring follower down while loading. Try using a small to medium flat head screw driver.

The realism to other SIG magazines is really nice. The fact that it holds the CO2 cartridge and the BBs in a plus for ease of operation.

The magazine capacity stated is one BB too many.
