wa|th3r SG

all these pistols reminded me of the army days...ooh, and not to mention the smell of carbon from my M16.

newb gunlover reporting in. Mr. Green

Meia Gisborn SG

Okay, so that will bring your airgun collection up to... how many??? Mr. Green

[email protected] SG

small la. P228, Steyr TMP, S&W M19 n a cheap 1 pound cap pistol. Embarassed

SpecOps87 SG

Well…Five-seveN don’t fire the caseless ammo, that the G11…Five-seveN fires the same 5.7mm ammo as the FN P90.

oh yea my bad.

Finally! its in! Mr. Green

the pellets loads into removable "bullet" casings which are then loaded into the revolving chamber. Very Happy

Wow! Good photography. Very, very realistic-looking pistol. I especially like the way they simulated the cobblestone texture of the grips.

By the way, the "grips" on the pistol are a simulation of the rubber-coated aftermarket grips made by a company called Hogue. They look almost identical to the Hogue grips installed on my Ruger GP100 which is featured at the bottom of this image.

Does the weight of your pistol also simulate that of the real one? How does it shoot?

[email protected] SG

weight is almost 400g. i think its a bit light as opposed to a real pistol. My P228 is heavier at 450g. But the M19 does shoot quite well. Backsights are adjustable laterally. It sits well in the hand. And yea the grip DOES look like the ones on your ruger! Mr. Green

Sorry for the late reply. Was travelling.

The market is in Barnet, North London. For sure it is opened Saturdays. And I think on Wednesdays... such is the UK !

Yes, the other forumnites are right... the pellets ricochet.

I had a lot of fun with my kids' guns. We went to a wood (forest) behind our home and had a great time. Unfortunately, no pheasants or game birds to try our luck.

Beware that they do not last long ... but since they cost only a few pounds, you can get a few at a time to play. The plastic , if dropped on a hard floor, may crack, and sometimes the spring which provides the force to propel the pellet will come out of its housing and it is with only great difficulty that one can put it back. Remember it is 20 pounds force spring , at least.

An on-line firearms liquidator, CDNN Investments, is currently running a special on SIG pistols. I've always wanted to add a SIG to my collection, and CDNN's prices were too tempting to ignore, so I ordered one:

It's a SigPro SP2340 chambered in 40S&W. I shot it for the first time yesterday, and was astounded at its phenomenal accuracy: using my custom handloaded ammunition, it will easily hold 3" groups shot offhand at 20 yards.

It's definitely a keeper! Mr. Green

[email protected] SG

looks quite similiar to the P228. somewhere along the line, after the 225s, 226s and 228s, i've lost track of how the newer Sig Sauer models differ...
