Trigger Pull: A lot better than I thought it was going to be. The blowback operation does place the hammer in the cocked position for single action type shooting, but the the trigger is still required to index or advance the next pellet to line up with the barrel. Because of this, the trigger pull is full length even in single action mode, but you can barely feel any added friction from the indexing of the rotary magazine. All of this makes for a slightly longer trigger pull, but one that is lightweight with a fairly nice and easy release.

Accuracy: I have not done my official field test shooting, but I can say that Sig has already done some of the work for me and conducted their own "real world" velocity testing for their ASP line of CO2 pellet guns. Sig tested both a standard 8.18 grain lead pellet and a high velocity 5.25 grain alloy pellet, shooting an 8 shot string with each to find out average FPS performance for both pellet types. The 8.18 grain lead pellet averaged 359 FPS while the 5.25 grain alloy pellet averaged 403 FPS. In terms of accuracy, I was able to get about a 2 inch 16 shot grouping on two separate 30 feet distance tests, which is pretty decent. I did notice that when shooting a 16 shot string, the first and last shot velocity will vary a fair amount, as the CO2 cools the gun and lowers the FPS. I would recommend taking your time in-between reloads to let the pistol warm back up.

Build Quality: A very solid feeling pistol with its all metal construction. Weighing at 2.35 pounds, it is actually a tad bit heavier then the real steel version. Sig claims that their entire APS line of pellet guns is life tested for 15,000 shots, so you know this gun is going to last and provide years of shooting fun. The fit and finish seems really good. So far no real paint or finish problems and mechanically everything is operating as it should.

Realism: The Sig Sauer ASP P226 Pellet Pistol is a very close replica of the real steel Sig Sauer P226. I would say it most closely takes after the MK-25 threaded barrel version. I really like the fact that the safety also works as a working decocker, just as it would on the real P226. Other similar working parts are the magazine release and the hammer that stays back for true single action shooting. The slide catch release and take down lever are purely for show but they are not molded in so they look the part. One slight disappointment for me is when a gun does not have a cut out ejection port. That is the case with both the Sig Sauer ASP P226 and P250 but it does not take away from the shooting fun in any way.

Pros:

  • Good overall replica of the real steel Sig Sauer P250
  • Solid feeling, all-metal gun has similar weight to real steel
  • Fully licensed and designed by Sig Sauer, mad ein Japan
  • Nice heavy blowback operation
  • Respectably accuracy and hard-shooting gun
  • Safety works as decocker like with the real P226
  • White dot sights and accessory rail for tactical lights
  • Super easy CO2 loading system doesn't require tab tighting
  • Trigger pull feels great with no heaviness or stickiness

Cons:

  • Shots tend to slow down near end of 16-shot string
  • Non-adjustable sights
  • Ejection port is not cut out

Comments: What I really like about the Sig Sauer ASP P226 is that like all the other APS airguns from Sig, it is a product that Sig has decided to invest a lot of their time and effort to develop, rather then simply grab an existing arigun product from a manufacturer and slap their license on it. Sig's product ingenuity is what will help to improve the airgun industry overall. Getting back to the ASP P226, it's a really solid CO2 pellet pistol that's a lot of fun to shoot. For Sig Sauer P226 owners, the pellet shooting airgun version offers an economical and safe way to get some practice in using a product that looks, feels, and shoots similarly to their real steel counterpart.

This video is a bit like an unboxing and preview video combined, I don't go into a lot of detail or talk specifications much but I do show you around both the Sig Sauer ASP P226 and Sig Sauer ASP P250 nice and close and in detail. I will be making a future Table Top and Shooting Video for these fine Sig Air Pistols which are both CO2 operated, have blowback operation, shoot in both single and double action, shoot lead or alloy pellets using a 16 round double sided rotary stick styled magazine, shoot around 400 fps and feature Sig Sauer licensing all around.
