KWC SP2022 CO2

Brief History

SP2022 or SIG Pro is a semi-automatic pistol developed by SIG Sauer in Exeter, NH, USA. It is the first pistol manufactured by SIG Sauer with a polymer frame and among the first to include a standard rail and interchangeable grips. It has been and is used by military and law enforcement forces in several countries as a lighter and more compact alternative to the larger "brothers" produced by SIG Sauer.

Description

The presented airsoft replica closely mimics the original pistol's external appearance. The major difference is the non-blowback operation mode NBB (Non Blow Back). This principle is simple. When the trigger is pulled, a BB from the magazine is fed into the barrel while the striker is cocked and released. Thus, the trigger pull is slightly longer than in recoil pistols, and the pressure required to pull it is greater.

Exterior of the Replica

The upper part of the replica (the slide) and the lower part are made of metal. Its relatively low and well-distributed weight contributes to maneuverability. The operation buttons such as the mag catch and safety are positioned according to the real pistol. The other buttons, however, are purely decorative. At the front, there is a standard 22mm rail where a variety of accessories such as lasers, flashlights, or other rail-mounted devices can be attached.
The grip is covered with a rubberized layer featuring grooves for superior grip. The sights of the airsoft replica are fixed but aligned straight, allowing for aiming.

Interior of the Replica

The firing mechanism is extremely simple and practical. Thus, its reliability is very good. Quality metal components are used, making it resistant to wear. The airsoft replica does not feature a BB lifting system, Hop-Up, but due to the relatively high speed of 130-135 m/s with 0.20g BBs, the BB has a straight trajectory over a sufficient distance.

Power Supply

The airsoft replica operates on CO2. The magazine holds a 12g CO2 cartridge. At the bottom of the magazine, there is a cap with a hex screw. Using the hex key included in the package, this cap can be removed, and the CO2 cartridge is inserted with the thin end inside, after which the cap is securely screwed back on. It is loaded with 6mm airsoft BBs from the top, the magazine is inserted into the replica, and it is ready to fire.

Warning: It is recommended to spray a small amount of silicone oil on the contact seal surface before installing a new CO2 cartridge. It is not recommended to store the CO2 cartridge in the airsoft replica; after each use, even if the cartridge is not empty, it should be removed to protect the seals.
