SIG P226 CO2 pellet pistol - any thoughts?

[Geezer]

The old 12g models have a much slimmer pad, much nicer but still a little wrong on an 1894.

At least the newer 94s often came with a butt pad.

There's a fair bit of detail wrong on the Umarex. The fore end does not extend beyond the barrel band, and the barrel (actually on the Umarex the barrel housing) is straight, not tapered. And the butt-heavy balance is all wrong compared to a real 94. Especially on the short versions.

Still quite a nice thing to have, though.

Just a pity that Umarex couldn't have done a bit better on the realism front (e.g. the grip on the Beretta is a poor copy of the original, the trigger guard on the 225 isn't quite right...).

I bought a new P320 a couple of months ago and have nothing but praise for it.

It feels solid. Authentic sidearm heft.

Blowback is well balanced and the THIRTY shot magazine is reliable and easy to reload.

It shoots low and left which can be easily accommodated for but I do wish the rearsight
Was adjustable; even in just one plane.

I toyed with the idea of a laser mounted on the front piccatinny but got very negative feedback on this arrangement.
Apparently there's not enough adjustment on the laser.

Would definitely recommend the P320 though for reliable fun.

I got a one a couple of months ago, and although i haven't used it much, I enjoyed it and it worked fine... my only concern is the lack of availability of spare mags... the P226 mags are easy enough to find, but the P320 are like hens teeth, and damned expensive if you can find them.

I bought two spare mags from Protek in Bognor for £49. Incidentally spare mags for the P320 are 20 rather than 30 shot. I don't find this a problem though as it takes ages to load a 30 shot mag and 20 is plenty.

But a twin pack of P226 mags can be bought for £24... the P320's are double the price...

A SIG salesman would probably say a 20 round mag holds 2 1/2 times the capacity of a mag intended for the P226/250

But each P226 mag holds 16....so 4/5th of the P320... so that means the P320 mags should be around £30, not £50!
