About Real SIG P228 Pistol
The SIG P228 is a classic, compact 9mm pistol celebrated for its exceptional reliability and ergonomic design. It is essentially a more compact version of the famous SIG P226. Its outstanding reputation was cemented when it was adopted by the U.S. military as the M11, serving as a standard sidearm for various personnel who needed a smaller, dependable firearm.
While the original P228 is no longer in production, its legacy continues directly through its successor, the SIG P229, which was designed to also handle more powerful calibers. The P228 remains a benchmark for compact, service-proven handguns.
About Tanaka SIG P228 Evolution 2 Heavy Weight Warm Silver Model Gun
Tanaka has masterfully recreated the iconic P228, a classic pistol renowned since the 1990s. This model gun exhibits exceptional craftsmanship, featuring an authentically marked slide with a warm silver finish that closely matches the tone of the original firearm. Compared to the P226, the P228 boasts a more compact profile in both size and length, characteristics that made the actual firearm a preferred choice for special forces and pilots due to its ease of carry. The only notable trade-off is a magazine capacity that holds two fewer rounds than the P226.
Constructed from ABS plastic, this Tanaka P228 incorporates a unique Japanese manufacturing technique known as "heavyweight," which involves infusing the plastic with zinc. This process gives the model a substantial feel remarkably similar to real metal, both in weight and texture, creating a convincingly realistic imitation.
The Tanaka SIG P228 Evolution 2 Heavy Weight Warm Silver model includes a range of detailed components such as a heavyweight ABS slide and frame, an ABS outer barrel, and a polymer P228-style non-slip grip. It also comes with a metal 13-round dummy magazine?pre-loaded with five dummy cartridges?and numerous metal functional parts including the trigger, hammer, magazine release, slide catch, decocking lever, and iron sights.
As a non-firing dummy model, it is completely incapable of discharging ammunition. However, it operates with impressive realism, featuring a functional double-action system that produces a metallic click when the trigger is pulled. The dummy cartridges can be loaded into the magazine, and cycling the slide activates the ejecting system, simulating the chambering and ejection of rounds just like the live firearm. This combination of safety and authentic operation makes it an excellent collector's item or a perfect prop for film productions.
