snowman Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 (edited) If it's any interest, the P226 does about 290 on Propane and the mag's held gas for 4 or 5 days without problem. No idea if it's a good idea to use strong gasses regularly, though. Cheers. Edited May 22, 2007 by snowman Link to post Share on other sites
fal Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Thanks for your comment snowman. I belive P226R uses different valve system(much alike say KSC style) to P228/229. I heard P226R valve system finaly cured leaky mag issue Tanaka used to have, where P228/229 still uses old valve system(much alike WA style) which can be quite problematic for leakage issue. Thanks.

snowman Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Possibly - In my experience the Tanaka mags tend to leak most seriously from the base to shell joint, but these seem OK so far. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
fal Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Just out of curiosity, how did you find HW material on Tanaka? For instance, I found that KSC HW material felt bit more "metalic" than WA's. I wonder how tanaka would compare against KSC/WA's HW material. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

This thing has been the bane of my existance since I got it, and I still cant get anything to fit right. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The top of the trigger mech and rails needed filing down, the mag catch hole and takedown lever screw hole needed enlarging, the blowback chamber/ hammer contact area needed filing down, and, while I didn't do it, the inside grip/ mag catch area could use a little filing as the mag is a bit of a tight fit initially (it wears itself in). It took a few hours of work. Link to post Share on other sites
