Description
The 226 is a full-sized, service-type pistol which is chambered for the 9mm Parabellum, .40 S&W, .357 SIG, and .22 Long Rifle. It is essentially the same basic design of the 220, but developed to use higher capacity, double stack magazines in place of the single stack magazines of the 220. The 226 itself has spawned further sub-variants; the 228 and 229 are both compact versions of the double stack 226 design. The 226 and its variants are in service with numerous law enforcement and military organizations worldwide.
KWC are known for making quality full metal guns in the airsoft market and have a good reputation for their build quality. They have been around long enough to know what airsofters desire in an airsoft gun.
The standard 226 incorporates a decocking lever on the left side of the frame above the magazine release button, which allows the hammer to be dropped safely. In chambering or firing a round, the actuation of the slide automatically cocks the hammer. By using the decocking lever, the hammer can be de-cocked without actuating the firing pin block, making it impossible to accidentally fire the weapon by using the decocking lever. Furthermore, using the decocking lever makes the weapon "drop safe", which means the firing pin will be blocked from striking a loaded round unless the trigger is pulled. Pulling the trigger and slowly lowering the hammer does not make the weapon "drop safe", and can result in an accidental discharge if sufficient force is applied to the hammer.
Please note this does not take standard 6mm BB pellets, you have to use the 4.5mm BB pellets to be able to use this airsoft gun! It also uses CO2 to propel the pellets so please refrain from using any other gases.
