HI All,
Save you the reading of the words...
This is my take on a Tokyo Marui's SIG P226 Rail. The Sailent Arms International.
KUWABARA.
I was hesitant to put this gun together. I've been building waaay too many Sailent Arms guns lately. But what the hell, right?
The Prime kit is a really nice kit. The matte finish is really great and everything fits together very nicely. All it needs is lube.
I was worried about how it would mesh with the small stuff like the takedown levers and mag catches and signts and all that but this kit took it like a pro. I'd recommend. It's probably the most user friendly P226 kit I've ever handled. (and I've handled ALOT).
The gun follows a streamlined two tone scheme with the hammer and barrel. It makes it look like they are a single piece running through the gun.
The choice to keep the recoil spring guide black was purely for the cosmetic reason mentioned above. Also, the gun is rocking the Marui OEM recoil spring in order to maximize felt recoil.
However, due to the minimal resistance of the recoil spring during the slide action, much more powerful force of impact will be generated. Thus, a steel takedown lever was installed as the OEM Marui takedown lever often breaks.
The gun is heavy but it's not like a ton of bricks like the Hi-capa.
It's quite manageable and has a very natural pointability.
The frame is an MK25 frame just like the SEALS'. The dead give away is the rail system. Where the standard and stock Marui 226 has curvature, this kit is flattened and is the more standardized 1913 rails.
It doesn't really matter in airsoft terms as most lights will fit either model frame but the real ones had trouble mounting certain lights on the standard 226 frames.
Internally, the gun has been fitted with a Shooter's Design POM loading muzzle set, steel firing pin, steel sear and piston head for greater durability.
This gun also has a Nineball purple bucking and 6.01 tightbore barrel for a bit of added power.
The grip panels are OEM Factory SIG Sauer P226 grips.
They have been re-texturized with Jessup skateboard tape for a much better grip registration. (see also: Talon Gun Grips if you're too lazy to make your own). It feels really good.
The consequence of re-texturing was that it made an already fat grip that mush more fatter. Thus, to help combat a potentially "un-ergonomic" pistol for small hands, a decision was reached to install a short reach E2 style trigger.
Providing some options for sights in low level lighting, two sets of front sights were installed that can be switched at will during game breaks.
Tritium for the low level light and fiber optic for day time use.
It's not bad, but who needs two sights anyways?
