Sig Sauer P226 & P250 pellet pistols

[Jehoolio]

Great build quality
Grossly underpowered, not even fun at 10metres aiming 18" high!
Sorry Sig had great hopes.

I was going to get one.

I handled it in the shop and thought it was awful. Very cheap looking, rough to cycle, sounds like your shaking a can of change when you shoot it.

I bought something else instead.

I totally agree mate, I really don't see how quite a few people think they are good and good quality, each to there own and if the owner is happy with it that's all that matters, but I think these pistols are awful for quite a few reasons..

What gun did you buy instead?

About a week ago I bought the umarex Walther lever action. I'm loving it..

ATB Marc..

I don't think that mag system does these pistols any favours.
The PX 4 was rubbish too.

Can the 226 be stripped down like most of the BB CO2 pistols? You know,swiss arms,fantaglio,kwc etc 1911,s

Hi gaz, nope it can't be field stripped mate, these guns lack realism for a lot of reasons, you can take them apart though, by removing the sights then taking the gun to bits..
Next time I go to my local gun Shop I might see if they will let me take one home to do a review on, I've held and shot both though so it will not be a review saying they are good though lol

Your right mate.. I suppose at least the sig is cheaper.

Good work on the Lever action, I have a old carbine version running off 2 12g CO2s, one of my favourite guns, unbeleivably accurate for what it is.

I bought a Dan Wesson 715, not had a chance to shoot it much yet but it is quite a heavy weight, has a very nice (though strange looking) grip and looks great.

Wasn't able to get the rail for it but will pick one up when I can and put a red dot and laser on it.

[Marc.RG1]

Yeah I'm loving the walther lever action mate, I get just as much fun using it as I do the RS lever action rifles, I picked up the new 88g version in the steel finish, although I have not tested it yet at long range short range 6 yards it gets nearly single pellet hole groupings, I did mainly get it for 22ft plinking through but I will test it at 25 yards in the cartridge firearms range when my other pellets come..

Cool the new 715 Dam Wessons for feel and look nice, your right the hogue grip does look weird but feel nice to hold, fingers crossed you have good luck with the 715 mate, 5 members on UBC have had there's all fail, either the hammer mechanism has broke or the valve pin snaps, let us know how well yours lasts..

My 715s are ok so far.
I don't use safety catches on my pistols but it occurs to me that if you tried to fire this pistol with it on it would damage the trigger.
The catch is small and in a daft place - easy to forget.
The valve break is odd but it was in Finland? Bit cold for alloy there?

[Marc.RG1]

hi mate glad your 715's are ok, hopefully will stay that way too.
went to my local gun shop today, (lol start calling it my second home soon) asked them if they had any 715's come back yet, they said yes just 1 out of 13 so far, it had a broken trigger but howard also said what you did, hes pretty sure that the owner tried firing the gun with the safety on and forced it and broke the trigger mech..

We will have to keep a close eye on these, but as 'anything' in life, some will break and some will not.

happy shooting mate.

Good review Bloo
Of the Sig I hasten to add.

[Nickpan]

Well worth the money, but bare in mind they're a good price if you see what I mean

[ejackyou]

Quite like My Sig, in Dark Earth. Seems a pretty solid gun, shoots straight, good grouping @ 20ft, gets about 365fps average, nice weight, trigger decent, but long.
Nice looking replica, compares favourably to others in it's price category, $150 here in Canada. shoots low and a little left, too bad sights aren't adjustable, but they are
separate pieces from body and may be modified? Nothing to rave about, but for Me a 'keeper'.

I was looking at buying the P226 after watching this. I found this guy annoying at first but now quite entertaining

But now reading this thread I am unsure.
