Tokyo Marui – SIG Sauer P226

by Airsoft Guns on June 16, 2008

Sig P226 is the sidearm of the special forces U.S.Navy Seals. When Tokyo Marui released the replica of this high performing pistol the interest for it was amazing. And there is a reason for that. The gun undeniably looks and feels great. The gun feels solid when you hold it. It’s reasonably heavy and balances well in the hand. Most of the gun is plastic, but some of the controls (mag release, trigger, takedown lever and hammer, at least) are metal. There is a standard sized rail under the front of the frame, allowing those who want to to add torches or lasers. The sights are very good to use, they’re equipped with large white dots and both front and rear are dovetailed in. Inside, the gun looks pretty solidly made and the only thing that you may worry about is the plastic slide rails – they may not last long because of the metal slide. Anyway there are plenty of spare and upgrade parts for this gun so whenever you need them you can be sure they’re available. Here’re some specifications about this gun:

System: Gas Blow Back w/ Hop Up
Power Source: HFC 134A
Built Material: ABS Plastic
Magazine Capacity: 25+1
Length: 196mm
Barrel Length: 93mm
Weight: 797g

People usually acknowledge the TM guns for how they perform and not so much for how they look. The SIG Sauer P226 lives up to that reputation. It performs really well – shoots accurately and with high efficiency level. It’s also very consistent. It shoots pretty well on 134a, but as with most guns will perform better if more powerful gassed are used. Field stripping the gun is remarkably simple – take the magazine out and push the disassembly lever down. Push the slide and barrel assembly forward off the frame and then remove the barrel assembly from the slide. Overall this is one practical and attractive gun to have. The price is around $160 I and I can’t say it’s pricy for the performance you’re getting from this gun. I’m sure you’ll like it very much once you have it, but yet again the decision is all yours.
