U.S. Coast Guard trains with SIG P229 Airsoft pistol

As SIG Sauer announces in a press release, they are equipping the US Coast Guard with SIG AIR Pro Force P229 Airsoft Pistols. These will be used in training sessions by the Coast Guard. The Airsoft model is an exact replica of the real one and is gas-powered, including a blowback mechanism. The only unrealistic part may be the 25-round magazine. In 2019, the Airsoft version will also be available for civilians. You can find the press release from SIG Sauer HERE.
