General Comments
The Sig Sauer P229 is an excellent BB gun all-round.
I bought mine for £39.99 which I thought was a bit steep but when you get it out of the box, you realise what you are paying for.
At 620g, its not far off the weight of the real thing and looks as real as you are going to get.
It does approximately 0.4j with a 6mm BB and is accurate up to about 12-15m INDOORS.
Outdoors, the BB's fly like they are made of cotton wool if there is the slightest breeze.
The magazine capacity is a meager 14 BB's and it goes fast.
The silencer supplied which screws into an adaptor in the end of the barrel is for looks rather than functionality although it does reduce the sharp cough of the shot considerably.
The suppressor adaptor that slots into the end of the barrel will come loose after a while so superglue it into place when it does.
It has a very simple safety-catch just above the magazine release which stops the slide just before the fully cocked position and disengages the hammer.
I recommend this gun to anyone who is willing to shell out for the considerable price-tag, but you will see where your money has gone.
