SIG Sauer P226 Air Pistol

United States – Over the past few years several airgun companies have marketed air pistols meant to simulate the real thing.

They looked real enough but never really mimicked regular pistols, either in their design, weight, or function. They were just toys for kids to play with. THEN, SIG SAUER entered the picture. Their P226 semi-automatic pistol was already one of the best and most reliable guns on the market, which is undoubtedly why the U.S. Navy SEALS selected it as their standard firearm. It was only logical that SIG SAUER chose the P226 as their template for a new air pistol.

SIG spent considerable time and resources (in house – not licensed) in the development of a P226 Advanced Sports Pellet (ASP) “clone” that would mimic the handling and function of their “regular” P226 firearm. Their purpose was to produce an inexpensive replica that could be used by military and police units for training, avoiding the expense of high-value training weapons as well as costly ammunition.Sights: 3-Dot blades (2-dot on rear and 1-dot on front sight)

The P226 ASP is a well-made all metal gun with polymer grips. In fact, we are amazed that SIG can sell it for so little. It definitely has to be one of the best air pistols buys on the market today, if not the best. If you get one, you won’t regret it.

The best feature of the SIG Sauer P226 Air Pistol is that you can buy it online and have it shipped to your house on Amazon.
