Tokyo Marui P226R

Brief History

The P226 was created to replace the well-known 1911. In 1984, it was presented to the decision-making committee and ranked second among preferences. Due to financial reasons, its adoption was delayed for a few years until the Navy SEALs requested its introduction into service. Since then, it has remained a pistol appreciated worldwide for its performance. It is a solid pistol, built for intense use on the battlefield. A useful feature is the ability to safely disarm the pistol without the risk of accidental discharge using the special disarm lever.

Exterior of the Replica

This marvel of technology, manufactured by Tokyo Marui, accurately replicates the P226R model. It is made almost entirely of high-quality ABS plastic, adhering to the functions of the real weapon. The quality of construction and finishing is exemplary. All original markings are in place. The pistol is of the Double Action type, meaning that when the trigger is pulled, the hammer of the replica is cocked and then released, triggering the firing mechanism. At the front of the replica, there is a standard rail for mounting accessories such as lasers, flashlights, and more.

Internal Mechanisms of the Replica

The internal mechanisms of the replica are made from wear-resistant metal alloys. When used correctly, this replica offers very good reliability. The airsoft replica features an adjustable HopUp; to access the adjustment, the slide must be removed, with the adjustment located under the HopUp chamber. The HopUp is of high quality, providing the BB with a straight trajectory. We recommend using 0.20g BBs for optimal performance. The airsoft replica has a velocity of 80-85 meters per second, measured with 0.20g BBs.

Power Source

The airsoft replica operates on weak gas, 134A or 144A; any stronger gas may damage the internal mechanisms. For optimal performance, the airsoft replica should be used in normal atmospheric conditions at temperatures above 15' C. With a gas fill, the airsoft replica operates the entire magazine and, at the end, locks the slide in the warning position for emptying the BBs. We recommend using only high-quality BBs and not reusing BBs, as this may cause the replica to malfunction.
