Sig Sauer P320 Spectre Comp CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol Field Test Review
The Sig Sauer P320 Spectre Comp CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol takes the already popular P320 platform and adds a more tactical, competition-inspired look with the Spectre Comp styling. In this Field Test Review, I focused mainly on real-world shooting performance including velocity, accuracy, trigger feel, blowback action, and overall handling.

For this test I used standard Sig Sauer lead pellets, estimated around 7–8 grains rather than lightweight alloy pellets, giving a more realistic idea of what shooters can expect during normal use. Despite some chronograph frustrations during testing, the pistol delivered fairly consistent velocities once everything settled down. Average readings for my five shots through the Chronograph came in at 270 FPS, with highs reaching about 286 FPS during the initial shots and my slowest shot was 260 FPS. Considering the cooling effect common with CO2-powered airguns, the consistency was actually quite respectable for a blowback pellet pistol.
Accuracy testing was performed at 30 feet using a standard paper target. I fired a full 10-shot group and overall results were solid for a blowback pellet pistol with a higher-capacity belt-fed magazine system. Most shots grouped within roughly 2 inches, although the full spread opened up closer to 2.5–3 inches when including a couple lower shots likely caused by slight velocity variation from CO2 cooldown. Horizontal consistency was very good, with only a slight tendency to drift left. For a rapid-fire capable CO2 pistol with blowback, the accuracy was more than acceptable.
One thing worth mentioning is the trigger feelof the Sig Sauer Spectre Comp. Since the trigger system also advances the pellet belt during firing, there is naturally a bit more friction and a slightly longer pull compared to some rotary magazine designs. Even so, the trigger never felt excessively heavy or unpleasant. Rapid follow-up shots were still easy to manage, and the realistic blowback action adds a lot to the shooting experience.
The 20-round belt-fed magazine system is one of the biggest advantages of the Spectre Comp over many traditional rotary magazine pellet pistols. Instead of dealing with smaller 8-shot or flip-around style magazines, you get a much more enjoyable shooting session with fewer reload interruptions. Combined with the realistic weight, solid balance, and satisfying blowback recoil impulse, this pistol ends up being a very fun and practical option for target shooting and action-style plinking.
If you are looking for a realistic training-style pellet pistol that combines blowback action, higher magazine capacity, and solid handling characteristics, the Sig Sauer P320 Spectre Comp CO2 Blowback Pellet Pistol is definitely worth checking out. It offers a nice balance between realism and shooting fun while still delivering respectable accuracy and consistency for casual target shooting.
