Airsoft.nu – Nyheter

Vapentillverkaren Sig Sauer har offentliggjort (lagom till SHOT Show 2019) att det är pistolmodellerna M17 och P229 som är först ut i deras träningsvapensatsning SIG AIR ProForce Airsoft-serie.

Att det var de modellerna som var på gång var kanske föga förvånande då Sig Sauer skickade ut ett pressmeddelande i november förra året och berättade att US Coast Guard ska börja använda träningspistolen P229. Sedan i början av december när WE visade upp M17 pistoler (med rätt logotyper) på mässan MOA 2018 i Taiwan. Sedan nyligen berättade WE Airsoft att samarbetet avbrutits åtminstone tillfälligt (oklart varför).

Båda modellerna kommer kunna drivas av både CO2 och gas. Mer specifikationer i pressmeddelandet nedan.

Rekommenderat försäljningspris är satt till $ 179.99 (~1650 SEK) för respektive pistolmodell.

SIG SAUER Introduces the SIG AIR ProForce Airsoft Line for Professional Training

Newington, N.H. (January 17, 2019) – SIG SAUER is pleased to introduce the new, high-end SIG AIR ProForce airsoft line for professional training. SIG AIR ProForce products are designed as replicas of their centerfire counterparts in look, balance and handling characteristics and engineered to SIG standards for precision, accuracy, and reliability. Initial SIG AIR ProForce airsoft pistol offerings include the M17 airsoft pistol and P229 airsoft pistol.

“The SIG AIR ProForce line of airsoft guns is designed for professionals who train frequently and want the option of training safely in realistic force-on-force scenarios,” said Joseph Huston, Vice President and General Manager of SIG AIR. “SIG SAUER is a huge proponent of training, and we will continue to offer our customers numerous new product options to facilitate the safe practice of gun handling and target shooting in various environments.”

The new SIG AIR ProForce M17 airsoft pistol is similar in look and feel to the U.S. Army issued P320- M17 9mm pistol and features a polymer frame and metal slide with full blow-back action. The proprietary drop magazine holds 21 rounds of 6mm polymer or biodegradable BBs. An adjustable hop-up feature creates spin on the BBs for additional stabilization in flight, resulting in increased distance and accuracy. A picatinny accessory rail allows for quick and easy mounting of a laser or tactical flashlight.
Available in two power source options – 12g CO2 cartridge or green gas – the SIG M17 Airsoft pistol will be available with an optional optic plate mount for red dot sights. Velocity is up to 330 fps with muzzle energy of 1 joule (using a .20-gram polymer BB); however, results may vary depending on temperature and altitude. Available in Coyote Tan.
