HFC P229 Gas Airsoft Blowback

 (1 customer review)

I bought this airsoft pistol to use as a CQB training tool. I chose this model because of the P229 moniker, as I shoot a Sig Sauer P229 9mm. Unfortunately, this gun is actually the size of the Sig Sauer P226. It seems like it is sturdy enough for use as a periodic training tool, but nowhere near as durable as the real thing. Functionally, the mag & slide releases work the same, but the decocking lever is instead functions as a safety (the Sig has no external safety). As far as I can tell, you have to manually decock it by pulling the trigger and letting the hammer down with your thumb.

As I am not a regular airsoft enthusiast, I will not review the performance.
