The text "SIG Sauer ProForce P229" remains the same in English as it is a specific product name.

Short history

Introduced to the public for the first time in 1991, and a few years later entered production. Its manufacturing takes place in America, combining German parts with American production, which is why the new form of the P229 was considered primarily for the American public. The secret of the P229 is the slide machined from a single piece of aluminum, which offers much greater resistance to the pistol. However, a disadvantage is the weight, as the aluminum slide is somewhat heavier than the steel version.

Exterior of the replica

This airsoft replica is offered by Sig Sauer and is called the P229. Its body is entirely made of metal, while the grips are made of ABS plastic. The pistol functions in semi-automatic mode, just like a real firearm. Each time the trigger is pulled, the replica will fire a shot and then automatically recock.

The weight of the airsoft replica is not to be neglected. At almost 900g, it is only a few grams lighter than the real gun. The weight is achieved from the entire construction assembly and not from weights placed inside the pistol body.

Just like the real firearm, on the left side of the airsoft replica, there is a decocker button for the hammer. Also on the left side, there is the button for disassembling the slide.

On the front, there is a rail where tactical accessories such as flashlights or lasers can be mounted.

Interior of the replica

All internal mechanisms of the replica are made of metal. The hop-up chamber is adjustable, allowing for improved engagement distance. To adjust the hop-up level, the slide must be removed. The magazine can hold 25 BBs. When using green gas and 0.20g BBs, the replica can shoot at a velocity of 100-105 m/s.

Power source

The airsoft replica operates on green gas; any other weaker or 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 replica can shoot the entire magazine, and when the BBs are depleted, the slide locks in the warning position.
