SIG:
Not too many to choose from. All of the SIGS on the market are of an insanely high quality, though. AirsoftGI just released a PTP model a week ago.
Most that are currently made use C02. C02 is good. It is not green gas. It works on a cloudy morning. And it continues to work. Better compression, functionality, and energy transfer than propane will ever have.
Problem is, to get a good sig with 2 mags and a bunch of gas, expect to pay $200.
I've got a RS Sig P226 in 9mm. Absolutely love it. 'Nuff said.
I had a KJW P226, loved it but as it got "older" I got less than ideal gas mileage out of it, so I sold it. Just got a KWA P226 PTP. Love it, less cosmetically similar to the RS than the KJW was, but it feels oh, so refined. Plus it's a solid performer, I can get 3 mags of bbs in 1 fill of propane, even in chilly weather I can get a full mag off. Still shoots in 30 F weather... It's got good power and respectable accuracy. Only niggle I have is that it's a bit of a snug fit in my Serpa which leads to the finish on parts of the rail/frame wearing.
IMO, if you're gonna spend money, do it right the first time. If you love you some Sig, get one and save you losing $$$ on getting a compromise and selling it to get a Sig anyway. And is you get a Sig GBB, spend the extra few $ and get the KWA PTP, it's got a KWA warranty and tech support for crying out loud. Can't go wrong IMO
