Réplique P226 Airsoft

Historical presentation of the Sig Sauer P226
Each firearms manufacturer has its own handgun reference. For Ruger it's the Mk. III, for H&K it's the USP and for Sig Sauer it's the P226.  The P226 was developed in the mid-1980s as a competitive model in response to a U.S. Army tender. The P226 is an improvement on the P220, which was the German Army's sidearm. It is a one-piece pistol chambered in .45.

SIG Sauer was looking to evolve to keep up with the 9mm trend. Thus, SIG Sauer decided to develop the P226, which is a double-stacked 9mm handgun. Although the P226 failed to win the coveted government contract at the time, the P226 still became the primary handgun of the Navy SEAL and Texas Rangers, among others, a few years later.

The Sig Sauer P226 Airsoft
The Sig Sauer P226 airsoft is a superb steel replica of the real Sig Sauer P226. You can disassemble this airsoft replica just like the real gun and all the mechanical parts work exactly the same, including the safety catch and the adjustable front sight. As for the design quality, it is generally good. You will be surprised by the finish of this replica which has a paint job that resists wear and tear very well. The Sig Sauer P226 airsoft gun is almost entirely made of metal. Only the handle and some parts are made of plastic.

In terms of use, the trigger of the Sig Sauer P226 replica is quite effective, both in single and double action. Thanks to a good balance of the weapon, your shots will be made with a great accuracy. In single action mode, the grip is quite short and the recoil quite light. In double action mode, although the recoil remains relatively light, the shots are longer.
