Brian Holt of Team Blacksheep writes about the new KWA M226-LE Gas Blowback Pistol that he says is not a licensed Sig Sauer P226... "A cool new pistol to add to the shelves but why this pistol? Nothing new and asking for trouble when it comes down to it. KWA Airsoft posted news of new pistol called the M226-LE and the 'LE' stands for Law Enforcement to cater to the departments and players alike to use this pistol. Direct link to the posting on facebook is here: KWA Performance Industries M226-LE.

As you can see the pistol is clearly a SIG Sauer P226 pistol; reference picture here on the SIG Sauer website. The numbering of this KWA pistol from M226 instead of P226 is very obvious but no mention on the firearms company on this flier. It is not a licensed SIG P226 Airsoft pistol because those rights and trademarks in the Airsoft world belong to Cybergun. I am not a fan of Cybergun but it is 2017 and the Airsoft Companies should know better by now. There are already P226 pistols on the market so why try to introduce a 'new' pistol and even better hype it up with a Hogue Grip which they mention is 'authentic'."
