SIG Sauer P226 Reviews

Weight and appearance realistic. Performance as expected from a co2 airgun with 300-400 fps rating. Fair number of shots before the performance dips due to co2 drain.

fairly accurate for replica pistol, nickel sized groups at 20', has realistic weight & blow back action, great for indoor range action. shot over 500 pellets w / no failures. excellent co2 loading system.

shoots thee inches high at 20', sights are not good........installed wrap around rail mount with cheap reflex sight.......solved sight problem, better pellet retention in magazines.

sweet gun for the price, spend 35-40 dollars on a cheap mount & reflex sight.... well worth it. slide does not lock back when magazine is empty so get used to counting rounds. if you have Umarex replica pellet pistols you are probably used to counting already.

Cam load no tool CO2 install, good sig feel in the hand, good sight picture, accurate, da/sa trigger is excellent, rugged

Magazine I hate this magazine style. Same with the cz po9, the Beretta px4, the sa10, the auto ordinance 1911 pellet, only the die cast revolving mags work for reliably "clipping" a stinking pellet like in the cp88/99, colt a1 govt, ppq etc.

The slide action sounds hollow on a CO2 gun with no slide catch. Compare to a Glock 17 gen 4 or it's clone the full auto barra 009, the hk usp blowback etc those are close replicas. The mag is the weak point, if you must 226 research ya pellets so they don't fall out on you.

I wish it was like other sig air guns with more realistic mag change capabilities and a true locking slide. Other than that it’s great for training

I have had several pellet and BB CO2 operated rifles and pistols and this Sig is far less powerful. I wanted something with some authority for my wife to fend off coyotes that are always nearby in our back yard. She would do better with a baseball bat or sling shot. Sorry, I am sure this 226 will satisfy many but it is no Buenos for us. I will keep it, my wife could throw the 226 at the critters and it might scare them off in time for her to reach her she-shed.

Things I like are; the co2 is in the gun not the magazine. The weight is outstanding and grip texture all feel authentic. First 3 mags accuracy was a bit sloppy but I'm sure that's just practice.

nothing. IMO best co2 system ever hands down!!

buy lots of co2 and magazines and pellets... SIG, need I say more.?

feels great, shoots a nice tight pattern, good power

nothing

great place to shop, never had a problem

With the exception of the reducer at the end of the muzzle, size by side with the P226 9mm there is no difference. Dimensions and weight are exact. So far surprisingly accurate. Gives great practice for the real thing. Very impressed and very happy.

Feels and looks like a real handgun, ease of loading CO2, wish mag was bigger

I really like the gun but one thing about it when loading the pellets a few holes my be bigger the pellets keep falling out that’s the only bad thing about it

I carry a Sigg 226 SR ,pellet gun match is the weight size fix my holster and it’s an Excellent choice. I use the pellet gun for zipper drills and holster draws .

Nothing

Everything

Jammed misfired from the day I got it. I left the country shortly after I got it and when I got back home the warranty expired.

Nothing

Reliably

I bought one in November and after no more than 50 shots it started failing and jamming up. I cant release the clip it jammed in. I bought an extra clip and I went away for two months right after I bought it so the warranty expired. My first purchase with Pyramid and I dont know how to get in touch with them to see how i can get it fixed.

Everything about this air gun

I would make it feildestrippeble

No

Weight is like holding a real gun. Would be kind of heavy for a weak person. Fun to shoot!

Shoots great. Purchased for 12 year old grandson. He loves it. Looks just like my 9mm P226 MK25.

Fit and finish are excellent. This is an exact replica of the P226 firearm in terms of weight feel and balance. The Co2 lock up design is the easiest I've seen on a pistol and the mags click solidly in place and eject smoothly. de-cocker/safety is a nice feature. Getting 50 shots +/- before power fades which is not bad for a blow back pistol of this weight. No issues with mag insertion or removal, only wad cutters were used however. Longer pellets will likely not function well with this type of mag. This thing likes Crosman Competition Wad Cutters 7.4 g which is great because they are relatively cheap and easy to find.It also shot well with Beeman 1235 coated Wad Cutters 7.9 g. it did not like Meistercluglen 7.0g or RWS Match 10s.

The trigger is just "so-so". Double action pull is not bad but long. The travel distance is very long in single action and the last bit is gritty. A shorter pull (particularly in single action), and shorter reset would be a big improvement. Accuracy out of the box is bad. Windage was decent, but elevation was way off due to short fixed rear sight. The pistol shot 6' low at 7 meters and there is not enough front sight height to file down to make the correction. Height was added to the "ears" of the rear sight by super gluing plastic 1/8' bits in place, and then filed down to dial this thing in. Sig should consider either replacing the fixed rear sight with something adjustable- or- shipping with a taller fixed rear sight . These pistols are used at ranges of 7-10 meters and should hit POA at those distances. After reworking the rear sight, the pistol now hits the 9 ring at 10 meters benched and is just a whisper high at 7 meters.

A decent pistol for the money but the accuracy / rear sight issue is a real problem. The ability to take the pistol down as others do would be nice but not critical. Having an open ejection port as others do would add to the authenticity and lighten the slide weight a bit to save on CO2 but not critical.

Too weak. Not powerful enough! Shaky design. Can only use the smallest pellet or will jam.

Shoots great. Looks great. Feels great. Solid. I bought some extra mags to save on reload time. Nice! Looks like the real gun so be careful!

Nice solid gun just doesn't work. Had the P226 MK25 CO2 a couple days Pellet in Barrel after only 40 rounds. Sig was replaced. Second one lasted about twice as long. FYI
