Introduced in 1992, the P229 is an upgrade to the P228 being an identical compact firearm often used for duty or concealed carry purposes. Developed specifically for the US market and assembled with both German and US-made parts, the P229 features a heavier slide to tolerate more powerful rounds the P228 was incapable of. The standard version features a DA/SA trigger. The pistol has also been made available in a Double Action Kellerman (DAK) model, which is a DAO system with two trigger reset points and a lighter, smoother pull than that of traditional DAO handguns.
The aforementioned duty and concealability attributes have made this pistol a go-to choice for many U.S. government agencies and the United Coast Guard. Being able to be chambered in different rounds for different purposes, it makes his pistol highly capable.
The airsoft counterpart is an authentic replica directly from SIG's airsoft division, SIG AIR. The pistol is a 1:1 representation of its real steel counterpart and in turn works with the same types of accessories such as lights, lasers, and holsters.
The pistol shoots well and offers a light trigger pull on single action and a smooth pull on double action. Its controls mirror those found on the real steel gun and is a great choice for those that want to use it for training purposes.
Internally you will be able to adjust its hop-up by removing the slide and it operates with green gas.
