Wa Shan SIG Photos?

Post by Phobus

A bit cheeky I know but does anyone have decent pics ( or indecent - I,m not bothered ) of this model or other Wa Shan s ?

Particularly interested in the level of blockage in the barrel ?

Is it as bad as found on my full metal MARUSHIN MAUSER ? ie total blockage almost up to the muzzle.

Do you get the same controls as on real SIG not sure if they have decocker ?

How about function ? Cartridge availability ? Notice esp, guns n guys give virtually zero information about the models like if you get rds included or not and if not , how much ?

Whats that all about then ?

Thanks for any info, guys

CARL.

Hi Carl,

I do not have the time to post any pics at the moment but the barrels on the full metal wan shaw pistols have hardly any blockage in them at all,as they are made in Tiawan they do not come under the japanese gun laws (that is why they also have black full metal pistols).I have the m92 and the barrel is open all the way down with just a partial block were the detonator pin is located but this can't been seen from the front of the pistol at all.
I think you will be very pleased with your sig when it arrives perhaps think about getting the m92 as well while you can as it is full auto and its great, i fired Claymore's m92 once and was hooked!!

I hope this helps a bit mate.

you get about 6 rounds with them but mgc p220 rounds fit and work great, i have the sig and its a great model so buy one mate they are worth the money, however last time i asked G&G did not have them but UN company does. The det pins are fixed by the way and as kickback says the barrel is not blocked that much.

Thanks Claymore and Kickback ,

Guns n Guys cannot supply a silver 220 although not sure if they have them in black ?

I am waiting for response from UNCompany - I have used them before , they are good.

I don,t really fancy another Beretta 92 as I have a couple of thses already : a blank firer and a KJW full metal airsoft.

The only other Wa Shan I like is the little .25 Colt auto . What a nice little piece !!

You guys all seem to really rate the Wa Shans so thats good enough for me - some nice pics of the Sig on UN Company too .

Thanks Carl.

It does not matter how many 92's you have remember this is full metal and also does full auto which makes it great fun.
The 45 is a dissapointment as the metal is lighter and the barrel is plastic and red in colour but painted black and the black soon gets rubbed off.

I can try to put some pics of both models if i get the time in the next couple of days

Hello guys ,

I,m now told Guns n guys have no SIGS in at the moment . Why do they ADVERTISE them then ?

UN Company may be able to supply a black one - awaiting email . They say ( somewhat confusingly ) that there ARE NO WA SHAN SIG models in silver .

So what is that in the pictures on the guns n guys website ??

Thanks Carl.

Well , I got my Wa Shan SIG 220 today Saturday.

Was sent via speedpost whom I remember form my airsoft days were always crap as regards Customs attention / fees .

I was not wrong on this occasion either !!

So on my day off I had to hammer over to the far side of Leeds ( nightmare )1 hour in the car , and que for 30 minutes to pay a £22 customs fee at Parcelforce HQ the gun was in a jiffy bag but the original box is substantial and holds the gun nicely - plain brown card with sig badges and polystyrene base .

It appeared to be unmolested as the clear plastic was in place around the gun and not a fingerprint or scratch to be seen . Hurray !! with 6 rds and loading tool plus dodgy Taiwan paperwork .

The gun itself is very impressive as a few people had told me already on here. Very heavy - unloaded , and quality attention to detail . Even a working decock lever which I was not expecting and a metal barrel .

The barrel blockage / detonator is deep and not at all obvious which is brill and the gun has an overall air of quality which you would expect of the real steel because SIG is a quality brand . I was surprised to find the mag only a single stacker - only 9 rds . The gun has minimal but nice and authentic looking markings . I don,t like the mag release on the heal of the butt.
Nasty .

On the negative side , loading the ( unloaded ) rds to check feed I found the gun not particularly willing to chamber the cartridge . It seemed to not allow the rd to move up the ramp into the chamber . Maybe it needs a bit of gentle work with a file or lubricating first , I,m not sure but allowing the slide to fly forward under spring pressure did chamber the rd so maybe live firing will smooth it out ok ?

On the whole and for the money ( about £140 with fees ) I think this is a lovely modelgun and as regards weight and solidity second only to my blank firers . A few people have mentioned to me about things breaking on their Wa Shan model guns and I am a bit worried about this because the gun does have a slight feeling of being ' delicate ' which is strange when you consider the full metal construction .

I would buy another Wa Shan though and may well do so before VCR . I like the Colt .25 auto and the dinky little .22 mag Derringer which are both the same price from UN Company - just a bit cheaper than the Sig but very unusual and with that full metal construction which is so rare nowadays .

Regards CARL.
