Sig Sauer P226 & P250 pellet pistols

[Jehoolio]

Just seen on back page of AG August edition, that Sig have produced the above pistols in pellet ( not bb) form. Looks pretty good semi auto with blow back. But cannot find any for sale at moment.
Anyone seen or tried them yet, or seen reviews on interweb?
Distributors highland outdoors.

Not on their web site yet

Just watched a quick review of it on YouTube. $99.99

Wonder how much here

Downside, non-adjustable front and rear sight

[blooregard]

RRP is aparently £129 (IIRC) but lets see what happens.

I am hoping for the best but expecting the worst. I know they use belt feed for the pellets similar to the CX4, I just hope they find a way of cycling the belt using the blowback rather than using the trigger (It shouldn't be too difficult, the back and forward motion of the slide is not too different to the back and forward motion of a trigger pull).

I am hoping we finally get a decent true semi-auto pellet shooting replica, I suspect we will get another gun that looks great on paper but is pretty naff to shoot.

RRP according to air gunner advert-
P226- £123.99

Yer shame about non adjustable sights.
Look forward to seeing first reviews.

Yeah basically they are going to be yet another disappointing blowback pellet shooter like the PX4 i think, which is a big shame..
Not a true semi-auto, pellets indexing by the trigger, non adjustable sights and the slide not locking back on the last lot, basically a re-faced PX4 then.
Is a shame as i really like Sigs..

As I understand it they will both have the same type of double ended mag as the PX4/Gamo 85/CZ P-09- it is the carbines that will have the belt feed setup. It should be viable to fit an aftermarket over-rail to the lower weaver for a red dot (this worked with the P-09), and the 226 is pre-threaded for a mod, presumably 1/2" UNF

Unlikely to be any better than the CZ, which is really pretty good with a dot on, so would have to be a lot better for me to shell out for one. No ejector cut out on these, but then again while aesthetically pleasing they perform no function and could actually allow the ingress of assorted bits of crud into the mechanism.

I'm still hoping the carbines will make it over here in a UK legal format (i.e. SA only) the feed mechanism looks a clever bit of work

I notice that a few places are starting to list these and more information seems to be coming out.

As predicted by short carabine, the pistols look to be similar to the PX4\ASG pellet shooting autos with a double ended magazine.

The Carbines are apparently double action. As these are CO2 guns likely to be about 1/4 power (I certainly cannot see them having any kind of target or hunting application) I cannot help but think they would have worked a lot better as a smoothbore blowback so they work as a trainer for the real rifles and still be effective as action shooters.
