SiG Sauer P250ASP Co2 Pellet Pistol

I bought my ODG(Olive Drag Green) SiG Sauer P250ASP when they were first released, and the velocity was rated at 500 fps.
SiG has discontinued the P250ASP, replaced by the P320ASP
I already had a Gamo PT-85, so I was familiar with this type of pellet stick magazine.
I am going to take new photos of my P250ASP in the next couple of days, but for now I has borrowed Dennis Adler's high quality pics of this soon to be collectable, discontinued SiG ASP Pellet Pistol🔫

Here is a photo of my SiG Sauer P-250ASP .177cal. Co2 Pellet pistol back when they were first released.

SIG SAUER Announces The SiG-AiR MCX Virtus .22 caliber PCP Air Rifle + the P365 BB pistol

This will be a treat for P.A.L licensed Canadian Airgunners!

SiG Sauer/SiG-AiR MCX Virtus .22 caliber PCP Air Rifle will be available soon, with a muzzle velocity rating up to 700 fps/ 11 foot-pounds muzzle energy.

This could be the coolest  small game PCP on the market.

Hopefully the RCMP doesn't go and catagorize this AirGun with the  AR-15, because of its appearance.

The SiG-Air P365 replica Co2 4.5mm BB pistol will also be available soon.
It has blowback action and  a muzzle velocity rating of up to 295 fps.
I suspect that it will be similar in size, shooting  range and power to the Walther PPK.
SiG has designed this Co2 replica to be useful as a training gun for new shooters and SiG P365 owners, which makes it even more desirable to AirGun freaks, like myself.

Sig wasn't the first to make a hi-capacity belt fed air pistol pellet magazine!

In 2014 there was a "Kitchener Gun Show" event held at a German heritage type of Club nearby my apartment.
I attended because Mr. Marvin "the airgun guy" was going to be there with a few tables of vintage, and new air rifles & pistols.
More importantly, he was bringing the Crosman Trapmaster 1100 .380 caliber Co2 Shotgun for me to pick up, instead of shipping it after I purchased it from his website the previous week.

It was no quick in-and-out for me once I laid eyes on the  4 or 5 tables of airguns, specifically all the marvelous air pistols!

After picking up a few rarities, I noticed a somewhat compact looking pistol, that reminded me of the Walther P22 and I asked Marvin about it.

The pistol was a Russian made Co2 semi-automatic .177cal/4.5mm pellet or BB pistol that came in a case with two 28 round belt magazines, and a cleaning rod plus a pellet seating tool.

It was an Anics "skif" A-3000 that was made in the late 90's to early 2000's in Moscow, Russia.
The slide is metal, and the frame is a heavy duty ballistic polymer.
The Anics skif A-3000 really feels like a firearm in your hand.
It looks very realistic as well.
The rear sights are fully adjustable, with a fixed front ramp sight, and the action can be cocked by racking the slide. You can also cock the hammer to shoot in single action
Double action is heavy, since the trigger pull moves the 28 round belt magazine before releasing the hammer to fire the pellet, lead roundball, or steel BB.
The Anics skif A-3000 is field stripped for cleaning & maintenance just like the Glock, by pulling down the two switches on each side ofothe frame in front of the tigger guard.

When I first saw Sig-Air's "belt magazine" for their P320, I recognized the system immediately, and thought that someone at Sig-Air must have seen or owned an Anics skif A-3000 at one time!

The last two photos are of my Anics 'skif' A3000 Co2 pistol.

I generally only shoot 4.5mm Gamo lead roundball ammo since I prefer how roundball ammo cycles compared to lead pellets.

Steel BB ammo will also work, but the lead roundball fits the barrel tighter, and interacts with the barrels rifling.

SiG-AiR M17 Co2 pellet Pistol & "Super Target" pneumatic air pistol

The Sig-Air M17 Co2 air pistol is going to be very popular with the replica air pistol world!
It shows that Sig Sauer is listening to what airgunners want from a replica air pistol!

I am really looking forward to the Sig-Air "Super Target" .177 cal.pellet single stroke pneumatic air pistol.
It certainly looks like it was based on the Sig P-210, and that is exciting for the AirGun community.

SiG Sauer P250ASP .177 cal. Co2 pellet pistol!!!

I bought my SiG P250ASP .177cal Co2 pellet pistol 2 years ago.
It was before SiG air pstols were imported into Canada, possibly because when the P250ASP & P226ASP had velocity ratings of 500 fps & 510 fps respectively.
I kept the packaging with the bold claim of "up to 500 fps" because it may become a collectible someday.

I already owned a Gamo PT-85 blowback pellet pistol and the first thing that I noticed about the SiG p250asp was the dual rotary pellet magazine, and how similar it was to the Gamo PT-85's magazine.
Both air pistols are made in Japan, and both are constructed and function in very similar manner.
Regardless, the Sig P250ASP is as much fun to shoot as the Gamo PT-85 is, and although it doesn't shoot up to 500 fps, it has enough power to shoot good groups from 10 meters.

SiG no longer has the P250ASP in their catalogue, so it has the makings of a collectible.
