Unfortunately, the manufacturers velocity was stated to be 500 fps for the P250 ASP, and 510 fps for the P226 ASP pistol. The legal power rating for unregulated firearms in Canada is "up to 495 fps", and so, the Sig Sauer ASP air pistols were prohibited entry to the Canadian marketplace.
Luckily the vastly inflated muzzle velocity ratings were eventually corrected, and the 435 fps Sig Sauer air pistols were finally available in Canada around two years later.
By that time, the P250 ASP model was no longer available and was replaced by a P320 CO2 pistol.
I purchased my two tone P250 ASP CO2 pistol on Amazon dot com from a 3rd party seller in Louisiana and even though retailers couldn't import these air pistols, I recieved mine without a hassle with Customs.
Of course, I hoped the new Sig air pistols really were as powerful as originally stated, but I was realistically doubtful and my chronograph results were over 100 fps lower than Sig had stated.
The velocity was no big deal though, and once I shot the pistol it was clear that this was a very accurate pellet pistol for 10 meter range.
This was a really nice air pistol and the realistic action includes a reciprocating slide took care of cocking the hammer for the following shot, which also replicates enough felt recoil to make for an exciting shooting experience.
Sig Sauer created the "Sig Air" division of the company after the P250 ASP was discontinued, and they have consistently released new air pistol and air rifle models ever since.
