Hello friends,
This is a review of Wa shan Full metal Sig Sauer P220 silver version. This is the all silver version, yes, another version exist with more black elements (sights, trigger, hammer, decocking lever and takedown lever).
Maybe you know, I already had a Wa shan pistol (Glock) and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing... I decide to try one more time to see if Wa Shan can be for me or not.
1 / Box:
Let's go, Wa shan is not a Japanese Brand and there is not that's we can call "quality control". So, you can have good or bad model, it's random.

The box is like other Wa Shan, simple and full of spelling mistake

We have in the box :
- Full metal model gun
- User's manual (very very light)
- loading tool
- carts (sold with 6 carts but I success to have 3 more

First impression, it's heavy, really heavy. And even the grips are in metal !

Ok lets talk about this model gun. I found some defect in the left slide (scratch) and the right slide too. Not something important but it's always unnerving.

You can see the "YT" is strange...added after ??
When you buy a Wa shan model gun, you must clean it!!! The oil is awful, smell bad and the gun is really dirty. So, I completely disassembled it, cleaned it, dried it, oiled and re assembled. Do the mag too ! I have now a perfect model gun with good oil.
Only "breechblock" is plastic,
If someone is interested, I could do a special tutorial for disassemble and re assemble.
The silver metal is quite nice but not very well finished near trigger :

You can see also a black spot and some scratches.
After a little sanding :

It's now much better

The mag is metal too but look a t the photo, the paint is not very good and we can see this strange orange metal under paint.

Ok some photos to well see this gun :

The markings are here and quite good.

To disassemble, just rack the slide until the mark on the slide and push down the takedown lever. You can now remove the slide.

Like you see, there is a spring on the barrel. It's maybe new because impossible to find it on the exploded diagram. I don't know what is the utility of this spring, better recoil?
![Wa Shan Full Metal Sig Sauer P220 Silver IMG_0111](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Wa%20Shan%20Sig%20Sauer%20P220%20Silver/IMG_0111.jpg)
The barrel is empty and more realistic.

3 / Cartridges and firing performance :
No classical magazine catch on this gun, to remove the mag , just push the magazine catch beh
I think the carts are the same than the glock and maybe the M9.
![Wa Shan Full Metal Sig Sauer P220 Silver IMG_0119](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Wa%20Shan%20Sig%20Sauer%20P220%20Silver/IMG_0119.jpg)
![Wa Shan Full Metal Sig Sauer P220 Silver IMG_0120](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Wa%20Shan%20Sig%20Sauer%20P220%20Silver/IMG_0120.jpg)
I remember that this carts are really bad with my Wa Shan glock. Maybe it will better with the P220....After some try, it's the same thing, really bad firing performance....
Almost no sound and the cart ejects not far at all....
If someone knows how improove the firinf performance of this carts, I will be happy to ear how !
I decide to try the same thing that I try on my Glock : used KSC luger 9mm centerfire (after a little sanding of the head)
![Wa Shan Full Metal Sig Sauer P220 Silver IMG_0191](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Wa%20Shan%20Sig%20Sauer%20P220%20Silver/IMG_0191.jpg)
The Mgc P220 will be better but impossible to find now.
With the KSC, the firing performance is really better, the cart fly away and the sound is loud
(Dremel out of the box and let's go for 5 new KSC carts).
4 / To conclude :
Happy. It's the word to rate this gun. Yes, the finishing is quite good (the internal parts are not beautiful, it's always this kind of orange metal, beurrk!!) but the external is well. This gun is at last a really good Metal Dummy replica. With KSC carts, it becomes a good model gun with fairly good firing performance. The decocking works and the slide stops well after the last cart. It's not the same level than a Japanese model gun like Tanaka for example but this time I will keep it in my collection.
