Trusted by federal law enforcement for decades, the legendary reliability of the SIG SAUER P229 is now available in a high-performance CO2-powered air pistol. Designed to replicate the real P229 in weight, balance, and controls, this air pistol offers an authentic training experience that seamlessly translates to live-fire handling.
Chambered for both .177 cal (4.5mm) lead pellets and steel BBs, this semi-automatic air pistol shares its robust internal mechanism with the renowned P226-MK25 blowback model, known for its power and precision. The blowback slide cycles with each shot, delivering a realistic recoil impulse for immersive shooting.
Externally, the pistol features the ergonomic E2 grip found on current P229 models, which cleverly conceals SIG’s patented cam-lever CO2 loading system—allowing for quick, tool-free cartridge changes, even one-handed. The slide is optics-ready, compatible with the SIG AIR Reflex Sight, enabling shooters to embrace the red dot revolution.
The included drop-free magazine houses twin 8-shot rotary discs with magnetic retainers, enabling the use of both steel BBs and lead pellets. Additional features include a rifled steel barrel with M14x1 CCW threaded muzzle and thread protector, white dot combat sights, a functional decocker, and a DA/SA trigger.
Whether you're training seriously or plinking in the backyard, the SIG SAUER P229 air pistol delivers a perfect blend of proven performance and cutting-edge innovation.

Why Blowback Matters: Blowback air pistols replicate the cycling action of semi-automatic firearms. Each shot causes the slide to recoil, generating a realistic impulse and typically recocking the hammer—resulting in a more lifelike trigger pull. Many models also feature Last Round Bolt Hold Open, locking the slide back when the magazine is empty, making them ideal for training and recreational shooting.
