Real Steel Info:

The Sig Sauer P226 was designed in the early 1980s for the US Army's XM9 Service Pistol Trials. The US Military was looking for a new side arm to replace the 1911 in order to comply with the standardization of the 9x19mm round by NATO. In the end, the P226 lost to the Beretta 92F. The P226 was later adopted by the Navy SEALs after experiencing Slide Failures with the M9. This ultimately led to the rising popularity of the P226 in the civilian market. The P226 comes in many variants, including smaller framed versions. It is available in 9x19mm Parabellum, .357 SIG, and .40 S&W. It encompasses a wide range of users, including the US Navy SEALs, the British SAS, various other special forces units, various police forces around the world, and various military around the world. The list goes on and on, making the P226 and its variants one of the most used sidearms in the world.


The Airsoft Version:

Out of my good sized collection of Gas Blow Backs, the KSC P226 is by far my favorite. It's full metal construction combined with a high quality design makes for an amazing replica of the real steel, as well as an extremely functional airsoft gun.

The first thing you notice when you pull it out of the box will be its realistic weight and the amazing texture on the grips. It just feels so goo. The gun does not rattle at all, even the magazine fits snuggly into the butt of the gun.

The blow back is clean and feels good. While firing the gun, you can definitely feel the power. It is very efficient in it's gas consumption, which leaves you with plenty of gas after emptying out 26 BBs.

The magazines are very well constructed. My other full metal GBB, my 1911, falls short of being my favorite because of the magazine, which feels very fragile. The P226 mags, however, feel as solid as a rock, and you can confidently slam into your gun with out worrying about breaking the baseplate. A small feature on the mag is the use of "Sig Sauer" trademarks on the side, which make a huge difference in looks.

I carried this gun in a holster for a few hours unused during a day of wargaming. Later in the day, when my AEG jammed on me, I had to switch to my P226, which had not been reloaded since the morning. I was able to fire off all 52 rounds i had in two magazines with plenty of gas to spare. Many GBB pistols will leak gas throughout the day, leaving you with less pressure in your magazine, not the P226.

Overall, the KSC Sig Sauer P226 is an excellent gun, well worth the $120 price tag. Its magazine capacity, gas efficiency, velocity, and accuracy make for an excellent side arm in any wargame. It's rock solid steel construction and full trademarks make for an excellent replica as well. For me, the P226 is a home run for KSC, and is one of the best guns in their new redesigned line of products.

1200 " Hong Kong Dollars " LOL im sure its called Yen

[p8ntballer8491]

@Ashleywv3 I've already answered this same question from another idiot like you. Yen is the Japanese currency, Hong Kong is not in Japan. You would think living in Hong Kong would mean I know what the currency is called.

@xochequetsal That's not grammar. You also didn't use a period, and grammar isn't a proper noun.

[adamkim83]

[thebiggesboy]

[osudude1313]

I own a real Sig Sauer p250 and this gun seems strikingly similar to a real firearm made by Sig. Even the internals look identical...great quality airsoft gun.

[SuperBoomstick]

I actually find that my KWA P226 is the safest pistol I own; knowing that if I ever pull the trigger it will fire is a great incentive to never pull the trigger with the mag in. I've never had an accidental discharge with this, while I've had several with my KJ M9. I was pretty pissed when I found out there was no safety, but it has proven to be the safest feature on the pistol IMO.

So going on my wish list... To bad it's like 100$

[origamiguy1000]
