Not sure if you guys have been modding anything yet,the barrel for instance i noticed moved around a lot, so I got this brass ring made to fit around at the end of the barrel.it was a perfect fit!The shoots are more accurate for plinking.

I believe I've seen electrical tape used in a similar fashion, wrapped around the barrel.

Great, you guys are going to make me actually buy one now. I've been putting it off, waiting for the Sig P226.

Works great and the electrical tape works great to!The one thing i noticed is the grip is big,compared to like the KWC 1911, i have smaller hands.

I like those new Sigs that shoot pellets, I don't think they have adjustable rear sight?

A guy in the Umarex Boys Forum made it for me, he was making a bunch of them at the time.

Great pistol! Don't forget to never fill the mag to full capacity and leave the slide locked back before inserting the mag. It will prevent double feeds and jams.
The guns are made of pot metal but it can still be polished to a shine but it's a long process. Some go to sand paper, I prefer the chemical method. You then go to finer and finer polishing compounds. Next get the 1911 and the Beretta M92. They can all be taken down like the firearm they copy. They're really nice replicas.

Will post pictures after work. This wasn't easy to polish. Started with just slide pin under the barrel. Took me almost 2 hours lol. Its beautiful mirror finish now! I went shooting the other day to test. It eats co2! Lol went through 10 co2 canisters lol.

I made the jamming mistake once too. Now I fill 16 bb's. I noticed it shoots two clips full speed. Third is a little slower. And will try opening the slide before loading.

so more issues. Took the Sig out shooting last night, the firing push pin is now bent down. did a teardown of the gun. Its a plastic push pin. There is someone here in town that will take plasstic moulds and make you a steel one. Im going to try that once i bend it back into proper shape :)

Will follow with pictures this time :)

Otherwise, still loving it!

My 'Open' also has BAXS system printed front and back of box.
The Open also has adjustable sights.

The outside labelling of the box and the manual for my pistol also detailed the BAX adjustment however that adjustment is only for airsoft operation.
The is no BAX adjustment for the BB pistol. They likely sell both models in the same box, same manuals.
