Exclusively from SIGARMS comes the new top-of-the-line air soft product for practice and training.

SIGARMS P226 and P229 AirSoft pistols are authentic gas-operated replicas of the original SIG pistols featuring metal slide, frame and barrel that is both durable and reliable. The weight and feel are nearly identical to the real pistols but the air soft model shoots only a 6mm plastic pellet and WILL NOT accommodate live rounds.

The SG 552 AirSoft rifle from SIGARMS is an Automatic Electric Gun (AEG) replica complete with folding stock and diopter sights. The dimensions are nearly identical to a real SG 552 but the air soft model shoots only a 6mm plastic pellet and WILL NOT accommodate live rounds.
