Hi,from the West Midlands, Nice , honest review. I did recently add a Sig to my collection , but after seeing similar issues on other videos i went for the new X Five pellet Sig , adjustable sights, 60-70 good shots from the C02 and pretty accurate at 30 feet, well pleased.

Thank you for a great review. Just bought one. My first air pistol. You showed good tips.😊

Thanks for your personal impressions and honesty

Appreciate the honesty,the gun is good,it can get jammed but it survived torture test which is 3xCO2 don't worry I oiled it...People can complain about it but I don't care I just like fun anyway 50 guns is plenty

You were correct to pan this pistol. i live 5 miles from Sig headquarters in Epping NH. Purchased the gun there a few years ago. It looks great and feels great but has been useless for any type of shooting practice. I'm only shoot targets from 15 feet and it's wholly inaccurate. I shot it a lot when I got it, but it quickly found a place in the corner and collected dust. Just tried to resurrect it, but it's a lost cause. I oiled it put in a new co2 cartridge. It won't fire a pellet however. The magazine jammed. I pried it out and put in another. Still won't shoot. At this point it's not worth my time, Don't waste your money sorry to say.

I have the Walther PPQ, By Umarex and pretty happy with it. Thank you for our review

The “three stage trigger” you’re referring to is called double action single action in a real gun. I have the real gun and it’s probably my favorite in my collection. It’s about a $1,500.00 firearm so it’s very high quality, like most Sigs are. I’ve been looking for air gun versions of it for practice when I can’t get out to shoot and to save some money on ammunition. Think I’ll pick this up honestly. I don’t even want any bb’s or anything. Just some co2 for the gun to cycle. I’ve also read that the trigger is really comparable to the real thing too so that’s really cool. Although I’m a little bummed that this air gun version doesn’t have a decocker and turned it into a safety. That’s a pretty weird choice if I’m being honest. Seems pretty silly for a air gun to even have a safety lol. The real gun doesn’t even have one and it’s… real..

Howdy Gabriela here from Bavaria🙋🏻‍♀️, I've bought my P226 two Month ago and in the beginning i was verry happy with it - except the high consumption of CO2. At first, what i like to say is the simle change of CO2 Cylinders - I recomend to drop a bit oil on top of every cylinder before u use it and i realy enjoy its powerfull Blowback - thats realy great - just like a .45 Colt. What i found out during i use it wasn't that nice🙄 After the 3rd change of CO2 Cylinder it begun to let drop out the magazine during i Shot - without pushing the release button - only because of that strong shaking - result due the strong Blowback; and i fear the second point of my discontent is the fact, that the 'sledge' is now starting to wiggle sideways in same conclusion of that strong Blowback. I've used it the most time cause of noise reduction with an adapter to 1/2" UNF to use a silencer and i have used .177 rounds the most of time couse they are cheaper and easier/faster to reload to the Mag. In the end i havecto say that i'm still having other older guns and rifles ( Colt,HK, UMAREX Airmag 850, ....,) but with none of them i had such probs. SORRY SIG. I have send it back to let them check it and i hope they r able to solve that probs. When ive got it back, i'll let u know about - here. Bye 4 now n enjoy your shooting. KR Gabriela

I was going to say, you sure that thing ain’t defective? It gets quite a bit of love and most wouldn’t look twice at it if it was that bad. Glad to hear you found what was causing the problems.

Excellent review and spot on I've had mine for about a month and it's going back today first it started to drop power after five shots then accuracy went to the birds and finaly it started to leak co2 like crazy i love the feel of it it looks good but thats about as good as it gets super co2 hungry i was getting about 30-40 shots and then it would not have enough force to expel the pellet and would Jam up and the clip would get stuck vary disappointed especially considering here in Canada I paid 189.99 so I'm returning it and hopefully can pick somthing else up if they don't have anything I'm gonna use the return funds to load up on co2 and pellets or maybe try to find a nice knife. I recently purchased a crossman vigilante and could not be more happy it has a ten shot round clip i get about 60-70 shots from a canister before it gets noticeably week but it's vary accurate and vary user friendly I've been shooting pellet pistols for 30 years amd the crossman vigilante is by far the best I've ever shot and it cost 120.00 I recommend if you get another pellet pistol to concidar the crossman Vigilante it's far superior to the p226 and is a lot easyer to use ...great review 👍👍

Try the 1911 tanfoglio witness full blowback, powerful and accurate, full metal and holds back after last shot. Also gamo pt85.

Hi Steve a great review as always,i would recommend the Sig Sauer X5 ASP, this has adjustable sights for height & windage,is considerably more accurate than the P226, i believe the X5 is used for target shooting in the US.,however the X5 is considerably more expensive.!! looking good though old chap.

Andy the game pt85 is pellet and great pistol and blowback but hits the target . The 226 I've had all the same probs with as you great show pistol and that's it. Keep up the good work.

Excellent Report. Thanks. Out.

Hi steve the best pistol ive got is the crossman 2240 .22 bolt action looks old school but very accurate and affordable you would have fun with that. 5.5 ft lbs with AA pellets on gun shop chrono standard . And as said gamo pt85 hits a target great gun. P226 on my shelf on display lol. Regards tim

It's called DA/SA, double action and single action

Thanks, Steeve for this video, for sure the best on the web on this particular model. You did an excellent job, so my sincere congratulations for the effort you have shown. Please do another video where you will show how to modify the rear sight in order to do something adjustable. Thanks in advance. A brotherly hug from Italy. ciao Fabio

I’ve got one of these, it’s a great pistol, very accurate and stays powerful until the mag is empty.. you’re just a shit shot 🤣🤣 I’ve seen others using it and it’s a great pistol..

Thanks for such a GOOD, impartial review. Informational and enjoyable. Some feedback: 3:14 - Blowback on the second shot: you see gas coming out from the REAR of the slide! (Excessive gas use?) 7:28 - "Made in Japan"?! It must be SIG Sauer LICENSED, not made by SIG Sauer themselves as I've heard/read. Ironically, "Swiss Arms" who make CO2 airguns is closely related to "SIG Sauer" - but this isn't made by them either?! 9:10 - I buy on eBay - from JS Ramsbottom! 😁 (I've never tried buying direct - surely cheaper still! Will do this.) 11:00 - Firing without a magazine. You see gas coming out via the mag well because there's no cylinder to direct the gas 100% through the barrel. Looks like excessive gas used each shot. 11:28 - I was shocked at the low velocity. Isn't this advertised as 510FPS? I've seen other reviews where chronos are showing higher velocities. (Probably warmer weather with lighter pellets) 14:00 - Hold open after last shot. I've only seen this with BB pistols. Sadly, I can't see how they can make this happen with pellet pistols... 14:59 - AA Diabolo Fields are probably too heavy at 8.4gr. I suspect you'll get better results with the LIGHTEST flathead pellets you can get. 16:33 - Is that what they call a "floating barrel"? Seems this pistol has a "beaten zone"... 18:16 - Fly tip. Load an empty magazine and blat the thing. It can land on a window and you can blast it, point blank. But be prepared to wipe clean your window, afterwards. I was sold on this pistol before this review - now, I'll hang fire and do some more research. I'll probably still buy it but not perhaps yet. My two real concerns are the inaccuracy and gas use. I'll watch your vid on taping the barrel: I'm wondering if lightening the hammer spring or increasing the strength of the valve spring might reduce the amount of gas release, increasing capsule longevity. (These are standard tweaks in a Crosman 2250b)

Heheh, honest review with some blunt comments about issues with the pistol..... a birthday present from the wife !!!! Either you are accustomed to raking risks, or your wife is more gentle & mild than the average woman ! :-) :-)

Amazing video! Just got mine to day:-) greetings from Sweden

The saint I agree the PT85 game is really good and quite accurate blowback I love it. The p226 I've had all the same probs with just a nice replica and that's it.

Like you say it's a fun plink gun at tin cans (mainly for youngsters) . It's certainly not a navy seal gun for accuracy :)

Tell you what is nice also guys is the cyber gun p226.. full metal, fully field strippable .. had mine for 5 years still very good ...LOVE the p226

Good honest review 👍🏻

Great review and spot on, I have a P226 and agree with everything said. I've got 10 pistols and this is the worst for accuracy and CO2 use. It's a shame as it's a cracking looking pistol but non-adjustable sights are awful, mine shoots low all the time, adding a red dot sight doesn't help as the pistol is so inconsistent, not worth the money on that basis, probably £60 at the most.

So, I watched your mod video of the disassembly and adding the tape for this but you never shot it. How did the mod work out?

You forgot to mention the 'magnet' in the magazine on the slope for loading BB's ;} My accuracy is BANG ON with this pistol !!!

The warmer it is, the better CO2 gets. No good to test CO2 at 15 Celsius......come here where it is 34 and you will definitely see a huge improvement. Also, take time between shots; CO2 cools down the gun so rapid shots will freeze the gun making it miserable to shoot. Full blow-back CO2 guns are gas hungry; some of that CO2 is wasted throwing the slide back. Try a non blow-back pistol and you will see that all the gas is dedicated to pushing the projectile which equals a higher FPS and more shots per canister. One thing one should NEVER do is shoot steel bb's in a rifled barrel gun.....even if the manufacturer says that you can use either, DON'T DO IT; steel bb's will ruin the rifling in the barrel. I too have the Tanfoglio Witness 1911 which is field stripable (sp?), and I just love it, but here we are talking steel bb and not pellet, so no rifled barrel, but can shoot spot-on once you get used to it. Cheers!

I think it is more than 800g

There are some very nice accurate co2 pistols out there, smk cp1, cp2, crosman 2240, umarex colt 1911, Beretta 92fs, smith & wesson 586 to name just a few. I avoided that P226 as other reviews echo yours. The only co2 pistol I have with accuracy to match your p226 is my dan wesson 2.5" snub nose bb revolver, bloody aweful it is but i still love it for it's realistic look and feel. may i ask why you don't want bb?

Thank You ! ! I almost ordered that today . . Very glad I came across Your Vid. ! !

Try the Crosman 2240....powerful great price.

Legal limit 8.13 joules , not 6 joules ...6 ftlb though ... got me son-in-law a co2 pistol ( walther ) for crimbo ..he'll love it ...

Nice pistol, my son had a similar one BB only, but I like this version :)

Hi I'm looking for a CO2 Blowback Pistol.... reccomendations for the best one?

Im a Sig collector but not CO2 type since I do not have a back yard to shoot one. My 226 is a early german 9mm and I also have a 1911 sig in 45 acp, a 938 in 9mm, a 320 in 357 sig which is my everyday carry , a 320 in 9mm, a 320 in 40 S&W and a new just added to my collection M18 U.S ARMY in 9mm As you can tell I love anything Sig Oh yeah I just bought a 320 with the built in Romeo 1 red dot sight. God I love America where if your a good guy you can own all the guns you want. I will never understand how you people in the UK gave up your rights to own and carry a gun for protection. Maybe gun crimes went down but knife crimes went way up in the UK

What do you think about umarex brand co2? They were 1/3 the price of the sig Sauer brand recommended for my air gun but same 12g. Ive weighed them and they all weigh close enough to say basically the same so im assuming shot count will be consistent.

Great videos. I am undecided between P226 4.5 Navy Seals, P320 4.5 and Glock 17 umarex Blowback 4.5 can you help me?

With regards to pellet counts.. all blowbacks will give roughly the same performance per bulb, but it tends to be weather dependant. On a warm day ive had 80 pretty consistent shots, but on a cold day youre looking at around 40. Regarding the magazine.. I also had issues with some brands of pellets falling out, but ive found that daystate sovs and JSB 4.52s fit quite nicely and because of that seem a lot more accurate. RWS superdomes and a few other brands tend to be quite tight then misfire and jam between the mag and barrel stopping the magazine feeds cycle especially when the bulb is dying. On the upside there is a magnet in both ends of the mag which stops the BBs falling out and makes them easier to load. As for accuracy.. no its not a target pistol, but it is the same as any other gun.. you need to find the brand of pellet which suites your barrel. Once you manage that then accuracy and consistency is much better. Also you can de-cock the pistol the age old way by pulling the hammer back and then gently pulling the trigger. As a side note.. I really cant believe that you did the whole review, changed the bulb, magazine etc.. with the safety off. The only time the safety should be off is when you are pointing downrange and ready to shoot, you know this. Other than that it’s a pretty good review and I can relate completely to your frustration, but it still makes me grin like a bloody idiot everytime I pull the trigger and hit something. lol

Isnt there any way of tighening the canister manually also? - because some pistols, by time, begins to leak between the canister and the seal, and youd have to tighten more to get it tight on - Levi -- (hope you understand what i mean, english is not my first language)

You should wear safety glasses when you shoot a BB or pellet gun. You should know that.

Hi could i have details of the red dot sight you used. Thanks John

You must have received a lemon. I can hit everything I aim at within 30 feet. And I average around 400 fps. Just my experience. Adjustable sights are generally not offered on pistols. I suggest learning how to shoot a pistol

I got from ramsbotom a thought they was ok no complaints

Does anyone have any ideas on how to un jam a pellet from this gun? The magazine will not lock in place, and obviously wont fire. Any help would be appreciated.

I threw my p226inthe dumpster 😊

You might take note that the magazines from the GAMO Bone Crusher are identical to this Sig. Everybody needs spare mags!!!!

where can I get the laser sight as shown in your video?

Thanks for the very informative video. I was planning to get one but now I'm not . And my wife has no plans to present me.

Anyone else having trouble ejecting co2 cartridge?

Do you need a license by wife bought me the full black one

I want to buy a gun ~ 380 fps I tried pt 85 I even managed to get 1cm of the 6metres despite being recoiled but what about 10cm below ... From my pellet dan wesson 8 "I shoot the toothpicks or 9/10 to the shield.

the problem im having with it is sometimes the bbs fall out. whats the problem ?

I own 2 Real pistols but only shoot my air guns cos no one can afford cost of real ammo with rising gas prices.

Aún siguen siendo de juguete.

Not 6 Joules but 6 Foot Pounds.

Should av Gone to Spec savers Mate cause you couldn't hit a Barn door with a Banjo HaHa

Your video was brutally honest! I recently purchased this weapon and am totally disappointed with it and, for the same reasons you pointed out: Non adjustable sights, no break down capability, use of CO2, pellets dropping from mag and accuracy is unbelievably poor. Thinking very serious in returning it and buying a .22cal break barrel rifle. I needed something for ridding our property of feral chickens and rodents. This weapon sure isn't it . . . !

It's a crapburger. Do you want something to look at? Or something that you can shoot? If you want something to look at, take a picture of it.

I just sent mine back. Highly inaccurate, even at a relatively short range. CO2 cartridge is good for about 2 magazines worth, then it won't even make 20 ft to hit the target. Not impressed.

No offence but your quite a bad shot with a pistol

Dude, 8 meters with a little CO2 pellet gun? Like what more are you looking for? Like actual firearms, you want distance and accuracy then go with a rifle. So get an air rifle then if you want more than 8 meters. Why expect more from a fake pistol?

i am not a fan of those air pistols ,,better to buy a air rifle

The gun is shit,M17 & P320 alot better

Ok, not a target pistol, so shouldn't be treated as a digital camera. CQB keep 5 canisters and 10 clips on you. Good less lethal.
