Page 2 of 5 - SIG Sauer P229 Blowback Reviews

Time will tell-may be quality as good as my Walther CP88! Impressive accuracy, easy CO2 loading, 80 strong shots (5 mags) (which is what I get with the CP88 without blowback) you will want extra mags, Have handled the real gun-near impossible to tell difference cosmetically or weight! Blowback is NICE! Always happy with Pyramid customer service!

Metal mags would be nice

Careful loading the mags, they also fly out when ejected - catch them or they could be damaged.

I was disappointed that there were no instructions included with the item. Yes, the instructions are available on-line but I could tell from the packaging that originally instructions were included.

The removal of used CO2 cyl from handle is problematic requiring a tool to get it out.

My review title says it all. Very nicely done. Didn't expect such a nice product. Thank you!

Weight is just like the real thing... fells good in my hand... shoots with co2 and is accurate.

not a thing !

you will love this pistol!

I have the real deal and this does feel same in hands. Sigs are my favorite. Thanks.

Overall, fun pistol that is a real feel to its true cousin.

Magazine's are cheap and prone to damage. Changing cartridges is an absolute pain...

Overall, it's a love hate thing. My boy and myself love shooting it. Very accurate within it's reasonable limits. However here is the hate... The magazine's are very cheap and will break, boy already accomplished that within minutes. To which Sig sent new mags out with no hassle in a two pack. They should absolutely include two anyways but they don't. The C02 design is neat but it needs redesigned. Changing a spent cartridge is a royal pain, especially with an impatient six year old who just wants to shoot. Once you manage to perfect the process it's still aggravating but not a deal breaker. Overall it's a nice piece and seems very well built. I wouldn't run BB's personally, pellets only and you'll have a smile until you have to change that darn cartridge. Fun, accurate and just a neat alternative to shooting metallic cartridges which is why airguns are so practical with ammo prices. Would recommend it despite the cheap mags and the hassle with unloading the spent C02 cartridge.

Just as close as can get to my real 229. Great for practice and holster work

It’s unfortunate that this pistol design was more important than the actual operation of the airgun. It may replicate the P229 nicely, but the function and accuracy as an airgun is terrible. It now malfunctions often after being used a few times. Also, the magazine design does not work well, and malfunctions often if not lubricanted. I paid a lot of money for this airgun pistol, and I’m very displeased.

great pistol but does not come with operating instruction in the box,
