Old Salt Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 With S&W continually delaying the release of the M&P 22, I have decided that I am not gonna wait any longer, and go ahead and buy myself a Sig Mosquito. Tell me the good and bad of them.Thanks guys! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdavison Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I like mine. I got the threaded version for mounting a suppressor. The gun works great as long as you1. Strip it down when you get it and clean it throughly2. Lube it good with gun oil3. Keep the barrel tight.The finish will wear a little, but then again...all the sigs do.Its a fun gun.

Microgunner Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I bought it's big brother, the SIG P226 Classic 22 and after lapping the slide it's been a good shooter. My only real complaint is the mismatched colors between the slide and the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I have a Sig Mosquito and like it. Except for the DA trigger pull, which is quite long and heavy. The pistol is near full size, controls are logically situated and easy to operate. Mine did fail to chamber often until I polished the feed ramp. (Seen that on some center fire pistols) It also comes with three different front sights to adjust point of impact, and a second recoil spring which can be substituted for ammo variations. (high vs standard velocity) It only comes with one mag, which sucks. New ones are $25 to $35 and getting easier to find. It is fun to shoot and fairly accurate. Also has a rail for lights/lasers, ect. All in all, with a little tuning, a fine training weapon, which is why I bought mine.TMPS-Recently found a paper in the case behind the foam that detailed a lubrication point that evidently was missed in the manual.

Microgunner Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Outstanding. We'll want to hear all about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Great! You will like it, I think. Before you take it to the range, there is a small hole on the right side of the slide, behind the extractor. Put a drop of gun oil in there and rack the slide several times. Also, here is a LINK to everything you ever wanted to know about really taking it apart.Enjoy!TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestmaty Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Look at the lower left corner ;DMore guns have been added since the pic, now have 15 handguns.First one to snicker or laugh at the 'pinkness' of my mosquito is gonna get hurt :P[img width=800 height=600]http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww266/jestmaty/110_0973.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Salt Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Had a very successful day yesterday.The "Skeeter" performed absolutely flawless with the CCI MiniMags, but did not like the Winchester 333s. I did not try changing the spring because I prefer MiniMags anyway, and the M&P 15-22 ate the Winchesters up without a hiccup.Was not really doing any formal paper shooting, but accuracy on the targets were right on. In short... ..she's a keeper! :thumb:techmike, thanks for the link. Invaluable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
