News over at Endoshoji is that the Tokyo Marui SIG Sauer P226 Railframe is due out at the end of April. The slide is reported to be a copy of SIG’s latest design with correct markings and engravings. The lower rail allows for easy fitting of accessories and you can currently reserve your own pistol over at Endoshoji now. The new pistol comes in at 120USD with spare magazines at around 30USD. The pistol’s specs are quoted as 196mm long, 797g in weight and a capacity of 25+1.
While I’m on the subject of new pistols, Tanaka’s Browning Hi-Power MkIII is doing the rounds at the moment. Priced at 195USD it has a capacity of 20 and is made of heavyweight ABS. Check here for a larger high resolution image of the new P226 courtesy of Noda-Ya.
