Sig Sauer P-250ASP CO2 pellet pistol

 Sig Sauer released their first Air pistols in the company's "ASP" or "Action Sport Pellet" Division around 7 or 8 years ago.

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.

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 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.
