TM P226

1) Make and Model
-- Sig Sauer P226, Tokyo Marui (GBB)
2) Date Purchased
-- September 2005?
3) Cost
-- $250~?
4) New/Used?
-- New
5) Mechanical Problems
-- Snapped Trigger Spring (January 2007)
-- Stock nozzle began to stick with propane use due to increased upwards pressure which gouged grooves into it. (December 2005)
6) Esthetic Problems
-- BB marks and wear across gun from CQB use.
7) Rounds Fired Between Failures
-- N/A (Countless rounds fired, primary sidearm and primary CQB weapon)
8) Changes to Internals & Externals
-- Guarder Reinforced Nozzle.
-- Replaced broken trigger spring with hammer spring of TM M9 Springer with pliers... Will have to replace with a better spring eventually, as double action is not always functioning.
9) Resale Date and Value
-- It's a keeper.

Note: There is also another fault that I've found with the P226: A spring hidden under the right-side grip panel has the nasty tendancy to pop out if you're not careful. This part is absolutely essential for firing.
