Tanaka - J.A.S.D.F. Sig Sauer P220
Manufacturer: Tanaka (Japan)
Type: GBB

Since I recently bought the TM Type 89 I wanted to get a JSDF sidearm to go with it.
I've been a huge fan and enthusiastic owner of the Tanaka M700 line and was hoping the Tanaka P220 GBB would not dissapoint. Sadly, the model is light in weight when compared to WA, TM and KSC stock GBB's. It's GBB performance is good, but because the gun itself is so light weight, not as impressive as WA, TM or KSC's on Green Gas. It ran green gas fine, but the I would be concerend on the slide holding up with this specific model.
This is a SA/DA handgun with working decocker. It uses a single stack style of magazine that carries only 12 rounds. The blowback action is crisp, but the magazine bb and gas capacity is low. The markings are great and makes a great addition if you are going for a J.S.D.F. loadout.
If you already own WA, TM, KSC or KWA handguns, the Tanaka P220 will dissapoint in weight and performance. In fact if I knew it was this light I probably would have bought a TM P226 and waited for someone to come up with a Minebea P9 kit (The J.S.D.F. has adopted the P226 as its official sidearm, under license by Minebea as the P9).
It's a great gun for the collector, but for upgrades and skirmishing you'll do best looking at other manufacturers.

Putting my money where my mouth is...
OMFG The A.I.C.S. is NOT an L96, AWP or AWM!!!
