SIG Sauer P226 X-FIVE Full Metal Co2 GBB Airsoft

Love it..... much better than the cheaper plastic air soft pistols. This has the weight and feel of the a real Sig 226.... and allows me to practice in my basement..... Great.

The screw cap of the co2 area is tricky, a bit hard to find the right angle.... but when you do....super.

All of this gun.

nothing but.... slide borken

I have three of this pistol model, only one airsoft pistol, after more or less 500 shots the front of the slide was broken. My 4.5BB P226 with more than 2.000 shots is perfect.
I am from Colombia.

It looks and feels great. It shoots accurately within its range.

It was fun while it lasted, but it is rather expensive for how poorly it was made and quick that it broke. The Co2 cartridge integrated with the clip. Why? You are just asking for problems.

I have had this gun for under two months and I have had 3 clips break on me. The problem is they have the Co2 cartridge in the clip, the connection to the pistol doesn't seem to work well. When I first got the gun, I shot for a few weeks and then the clip started to leak, I thought oh well, I'll just use another clip. A few days later the second clip started to leak also. On to the third clip, that one lasted a few weeks before it started to leak as well. I have read reviews about over tightening causing leaks, I have been very careful with this gun. I have never had this problem with another air gun. Clips are about $25 ea. At this point, I'm just going to throw the gun out. When I say they leak I mean they make a roaring hissing noise, when they are supposed to be sealed. You can only manage to get of about 6 shots before the whole co2 cartridge leaks out. This is a clear design flaw with this pistol. Don't bother buying it.

Accurate from 30 feet. Will hit a 10 meter NRA Air Pistol target paper center ring. All metal, has a nice weight to it. Slider, safety, all functioning. Well constructed. Recoil is realistic. Buy it from Pyramyd Air and purchase their 10 for $10.00 test to ensure you get a well-tested, certified functioning product.

The CO2 loading procedure in the magazine. It is a bit of a pain when screwing the cap and tightening it. Sometimes the cap is off and the CO2 doesn't get punctured. Trial and error. Need to always find the sweet spot to properly seat the CO2 cap. Makes a loud noise. I mean really makes a loud bang.

Use Pellgunoil everytime you load a CO2 in the magazine. It'll make the O rings last. Get it here at Pyramyd Air.

This is a real good replica of a full-size Sig handgun. It has a very realistic weight and heft. It is the most accurate airsoft handgun that has passed through my hands. I am using 0.20 BB's and Crosman CO2's. This is very impressive.

The takedown lever seemed a little fragile. I like to oil the slide rails and exterior of the barrel with Rem Oil using a Q-Tip.

I only load 15 at a time, and shoot 5-shot strings to let the CO2 warm up a bit between shots. It lets me get the most out of a CO2 cartridge. This gun uses a fair amout of CO2 to blow back the slide, but I get a decent amount of shots.

Very solid feel and nice weight. This pistol is a dream to shoot.

Nothing for now, I'm pretty happy with this purchase.

Hefty weight and good balance because of the longer barrel. Realistic replica in looks and operations. Breakdown is similar to real gun. You can do all range commands and functions with this replica as you would the real one. Fits in holsters designed for the 226. Longer barrel gives great accuracy. Quarter size groups at 21 ft.

Since the real gun was designed for competition, a larger magwell would be nice for quicker reloading.

Get extra mags if you plan to do a lot of shooting. Each mag contains a CO2 cartridge so you can continue to shoot and reload BBs without having to stop for gas reloading.

The recoil is very powerful feels like the real thing..recommend this gun to all gunners

nothing

Buy it you won't regret it

Very solid feel. The gun is heavy, no rattles, very well made impression. The blowback action is very crisp and quick. This gun is also really really accurate -- typical group size is about one inch at 20 feet, and I mean 8 or 10 shots, not just a few. (The accuracy is better with 0.25 gram ammo). Not only all that, but the trigger action is quite smooth and the gun can shoot very fast without jamming. I got about 4 shots per second, best I've seen with any airsoft pistol. The weaver rail at the bottom is fully functional, with the proper cross slots. If you put a laser on here, it stays aligned with the barrel. I found the sights to be dead on target at 20 foot range. A welcome change, many times the airsoft sights are pretty far off. No comment on the hop-up systems, I didn't fool with that. Lastly, one CO2 powerlet gave me about 60 solid 305 fps shots; that's a little over 1 joule with the 0.25 gram pellets. For a blowback type gun, this seems pretty good.

Can't think of much. Some don't like having to use the allen wrench to change the CO2 powerlet. True, it is an extra tool you can lose. However, it keeps the bottom of the grip looking clean, with no finger knob hanging down.

I've probably tried a dozen different airsoft pistols over the years. This one is easily the best of them all. So far, anyway.

THE BLOWBACK ACTION WAS STRONG AND CAUGHT ME BY SURPRISE. MY FIRST THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS PISTOL AFTER TEST FIRING IT WAS HOW ACCRUATE IT WAS. I MEAN THIS GUN IS VERY ACCRUATE. THIS GUN LOOK AND FEELS LIKE THE REAL SIG 5 WHICH I OWN. THE CO2 POWER REALLY GIVES THIS GUN REALISTIC RECOIL. I SWEAR I COULD SEE THE BARREL SMOKING.

I WOULD USE A MOLLY RESIN FINISH ON THE GUN BECAUSE THE CURRENT FINISH IS NOT VERY DURABLE. A PISTOL LIKE THIS SHOULD ALSO HAVE A NICE PISTOL CASE.

WEAR SAFTEY GLASSES WHEN FIRING THIS PISTOL, BB'S REALLY BOUNCE BACK ALOT. ALSO BE PREPARED FOR THE RECOIL.
