Review: Best-Built SIG BB Pistol I’ve Owned - Now this is a real, well-built BB gun. The SIG SAUER 1911 Emperor Scorpion feels solid in the hand, with a full-metal build that gives it real weight and balance. The attention to detail is excellent — from the textured grips to the clean finish. Performance is just as good as the build quality. The blowback action feels powerful and realistic, and the trigger is smooth. Accuracy is impressive for a CO2 BB pistol, and the 17-round mag gives you a good number of shots before reloading. No leaks, no issues — just a great shooter. If you want a BB pistol that feels like the real thing, this one delivers in every way. ⸻ 🎯 Pros: • Full-metal, heavy-duty build • Realistic weight and grip texture • Strong blowback action • Accurate and consistent • No CO2 leaks in my experience Cons: • CO2 use is decent but not the most efficient (expected with blowback) ⸻ Final Verdict: One of the best-built SIG air pistols I’ve tried. Feels real, shoots great, and looks amazing — highly recommended for any BB gun enthusiast.
Review: Great Value!!! Very Nice Pistol! - I was very impressed with this product! It looks, feels and operates just like my 45 and 22LR 1911. I just wish that there were instructions in the box for how to operate the pistol and install the CO2 cartridges along with field stripping for cleaning and oiling. I run a 1911 often but was not real sure on installing the CO2 in the mag for first time. It's easy and I figured it out quickly but was astonished that there were no instructions in the box. I just got 4 mags out of one CO2 cartridge, but the last one was very underpowered. It did operate till the last BB but failed to lock back. The accuracy is pretty impressive for a BB gun also. At 7 yards I put 16 shots in a 12" circle in under 5 seconds and most were in the 6" circle. I consistently hit a 12" plate at 25 yards with a normal firing speed, For the price I would say this is a very good deal. If I would have seen and held one prior to buying this one I would have guessed it would have cost over $200. I am very pleased!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is it full blowback?**
A: Yes

A: You cant

**Q: what type of BBs does this take?**
A: .177, steel is preferred.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice little toy
*by S***E on February 28, 2025*

Quite nice for the price. Heavy, more or less the same weight as the real thing. Comes apart like a real 1911, easy to strip/clean/lube. Not that there's a lot of cleaning needed. The orange plug is press fit, no glue that I could see. Works as a great learning tool to teach someone proper trigger use, and how the safety/hammer/slide work. If you mis-handle it, the slide will blow back, so it's a good warning to those who need to learn gun safety.
