Sig Sauer M17 CO2 Pistol

<span>This pistol is a great training aid. I wanted a CO2 pistol which was as close to my real pistol as possible. This pistol combined with the Sig Air red dot sight fit that ticket. I have been able to consistently shoot 2 inch groups at 10 meters while standing 2 handed without support. It can shoot an inch or so high with a new cartridge and then an inch or so low as the cartridge is on its last breath. The safety, mag release and slide lock are the same as the real version. I have found the 7.4g wadcutter from Crossman to be the best fit for me. When 9mm are costing 40 cents a trigger pull, this is a much cheaper option that allows you to shoot in your home without going to the range. That makes it easy and fun to train each day.<br><br>I want to take a second to address some concerns expressed by other negative reviews.<br><br>1. Leaky CO2 . This also happened to me at around 700 shots. The o-ring in the magazine failed. There are a number of Youtube videos showing how to replace this o-ring. The smaller of the two appears to be 6mm OD and 3mm ID. I can't confirm this as I chose to contact Sig Sauer customer service and they promptly responded and sent out a new magazine. Take note - this has a full one year warranty.<br><br>2. Pellets plug barrel. I have only had this happen twice. Once when the CO2 was on its last breath and another time when an apparent malformed pellet got stuck. Each time, I pushed the pellet out with a wire and continued to shoot without further issue.</span>

<span>Cool M17 that's made to last but has poor accuracy with sig airgun pellets and off-brand balls.</span>

<span>Great Little trainer to teach my son to be gin smart. It has a tiny bit of recoil, so it gives them a little bit of a real feel. And have a safety. It is also the weight of a real gun to really train them.</span>

<span>This is a well made air pistol! LOTS of FUN! It did jam a few times but that’s due to the fact that the magazine is belt driven & each pull of the trigger rotates the magazine. I think that flat nose pellets might work best….I used crosman domed pellets so that’s probably why I had issues but all & all GREAT air pistol!!</span>

<span>This is a restatement after receiving a replacement. DONT WASTE TIME OR MONEY. Some have glowing reports.. But 2 in a row non working units?? 1 star for what handled and looked like the gunpowder version. But then I’m puzzled as the blowback was working but no pellets. The trigger also started sticking so that the trigger finger had too get behind it and nudge it back into position.<br><br>So I field stripped the first one and noticed a pellet still in the breach. So pushed it out. Reassembled etc etc. to no avail. As though it’s just shooting blanks (let’s not go there gents ;-( )<br><br>The second pistol would not advance the belt feed.<br><br>I’d even ordered 2 extra full magazines.</span>

<span>I got this for my stepdaughter and it is identical to my actual M17. Side by side you can’t almost not tell the difference. But the weight it’s accurate also but it very good in training someone for the real thing.</span>

<span>SIG has done it again. It is the perfect training weapon. The weight is correct, you have the ability to remove the slide like the real weapon and provides easy replacement of the Co2. Easy to load and very accurate. I would recommend buy extra pellet magazines if you want to save time. This weapon will save you a lot of money on Ammo. And it will provide you with the time needed to learn how to draw and fire the weapon safely until you are ready to go to live Ammo.</span>

<span>Great for practice with amazing weight! BUT be careful not to shoot anything important this thing will put a hole in something or someone so just be careful treat the gun like a real one stay safe and happy shooting</span>

<span>This was gifted to me from a friend. When I test fired it worked and cycled beautifully until it didn’t. Upon further inspection, I discovered the nozzle had cracked right down the side like in the picture. There’s a high chance that the co2 might be the cause, maybe the plastic couldn’t handle the fps this instrument produces.<br><br>Either way my overall conclusion is this, if you decide to get this instrument it’ll feel really nice in your hands, the weight is nice, the slide is metal, the handle is polymer with a mix of metal and plastic internals. But something I can’t stress enough is please consider green gas mags if you value the longevity of this instrument over fps. Otherwise you could be like me and on the market looking for the correct replacement nozzle.</span>

<span>Lube the cam! I’ve had this gun for almost two years, but haven’t played with it for awhile due to it leaking Co2. The last time I put a fresh cartridge in it a few months ago, it leaked right away. Tonight, I got to thinking. It’s most likely leaking because it doesn’t have a good seal, but why is that? Well, it’s a cam lever system, and if the cam isn’t functioning 100%, that could certainly be the cause of a bad seal. So, I dug out my gun and found a fresh Co2 cartridge. Brought the magazine and cartridge up to my bathroom, where I have some hair clipper oil, and lubed the cam and roller real good. Put the fresh cartridge in and squeezed the lever till it closed. No leak!!!! I deducted one star for accuracy, we all know it’s not the best. This may look like a high end pistol, but unless you’re actually using it for target practice in place of the real M17 or a highly comparable weapon, it’s really just a high end toy. But still not bad for the money.</span>

<span>This jams constantly, fires 3-4 rounds then gets stuck, using sig pellets, oiled up the magazine and co2 prior to use. Tried 4 other brands of pellets, same result. The magazine design is a complete fail. I have 3 other mags and all of them perform in the same crappy way.</span>

<span>Started leaking CO2 as soon as you put the clip in.Sig Sauer was more than generous enough to give me new clips but they did not have them in stock and I still do not have them</span>

<span>I don't have any dislikes. It is a fun pistol to shoot, so get lots of co2.</span>

<span>This thing worked great for a few weeks. Then it started leaking co2. What a shame. The thing is so much like the real thing as far as feel and weights.</span>

<span>Complete garbage I finally threw it away</span>

<span>I got this for a up comming match and already just the look and feel of the gun are just great. Definetly a good buy.</span>

<span>The gun looks and feels amazing. However when shooting it the gun has lack luster performance. I was shooting basic Crosman premier hollow points and the pellets just bounce off plastic water battle targets.</span>

<span>Looks real but has barley any power a one pump daisy bb gun has more power.</span>

<span>Wonderful CO2 replica for the Sig M17, is perfectly to scale and fits real steel m17 holsters. One co2 cartridge lasts about 3 mags and cam stretch a 4th, trigger feels more mechanical than smooth/crisp but that's to be expected since it also cycles the pellet mag. Gun is very nice, however as it may have already been mentioned, the frame came with tiny cracks in it and they get worse after shooting for a while.</span>

<span>I have always liked Sig products. When I say the M17 pellet pistol i ordered one. looks great - feels great - good balance. But, the most important thing - accuracy - could not get it to hit a 10" circular target at 25'. Sorry but this is not a Sig product.</span>

<span>Jam fest. This lightweight plastic piece of crap jammed out of the box. Never had a sig pellet pistol do that. I've only had one jam. This jammed 6 times from the 1st mag. Reccomend everything was used. If you have to lube your gun every time, don't buy it. It sucks.</span>

<span>Haven't seen a possum yet needs for a spur clip</span>

<span>Love the look and feel of the gun, but accuracy was not quite as good as I expected. At 7 yards I was able to duplicate a 6-8inch grouping of 5 shots. I was hoping for a little better, maybe a 4 inch group at that distance. I'm still impressed with the build quality and feel and ease of operation. Maybe with a little more practice I'll be able to get a little more accuracy out of it.</span>

<span>Actually a pretty reasonable replica of an M17. There are some slight differences in the size as you can see in my picture of this pistol on the left and my 9mm M17 on the right. The red dot sights are the Sig Air that is made for the air pistol, and a Sig Romeo 1 Pro on the firearm.<br><br>Of course since it is a blowback type pistol it has the problem of getting the barrel and slide, which has the sights on it, aligned the same for every shot. Out of the box you can get 3-4 inch groups at 25ft, which translates into hitting a target the size of an aluminum can.<br><br>In an effort to make mine more accurate I 3d printed what is effectively a barrel bushing to help get things aligned the same every time. Of course by doing this the non-adjustable iron sights are thrown off so much they are useless, so I added the Sig Air red dot, but putting a red dot on this was always a part of the plan since I have them on my firearm version of this and a M18 (for those who are getting older and find they need reading glasses to see pistol sights I highly recommend making the switch to red dots.) With the modifications and red dot I get consistent 1-1.5" 10 shot groups at 25ft.</span>

<span>This gun feels like a real M17 , but doesn’t have much power. I shot at a wood fence and the pelt instead of penetrating ricocheted back and that’s a major safety hazard. You have to be extremely cautious of shooting it at an angle other than 90 degrees or you risk the pellet hurting you. You need to wear IMO to resistant eye protection and be aware that it will make the pellet bounce back each time you hit something solid such as wood, or stronger than pine wood. I used the regular pellets from cross man premier pointed pellets .177 cal</span>

<span>Love the gun and it’s accurate blows throw pellets and Co2 but I recommend it</span>

<span>Loose barrel, box states different speacs then ad. Love Sig Sauer, but this is not what i would expect from them. Fixes are easy to fix but hope to see better quality control in future.</span>

<span>Thank you</span>

<span>No Accuracy! The gun can’t be worked on! Amazing!<br><br>You look at the gun and think “Wow nice looking but it shoots all over! “<br><br>This is a Sig Sauer gimmick. Don’t get stuck with one!</span>

<span>Accuracy but not powerful loses co2 on every reload. I got about 4 pieces fell out of gun ,slide flew across room. Cant get refund ! Sig sauer should send me a free replacement</span>
