Sig-Sauer Mosquito
by: Sean
I went to the range and fired the Mosquito and it jammed 1 out of every 3 shots. I used 4 different types of ammo and didn't have much luck. I'm hoping that things improve next time after swapping recoil springs and I'll try using the CCI ammo recommended by Sig-Sauer. Right now I have serious buyers remorse after my first outing!

Mosquito Maddness
by: Jerry
It likes the CCI Mini Mags the best and never jams with that stuff (300 rounds so far), it also works well with the remington (gold)but has a feed problem every once in awhile, $15 at wal-mart for 550 rounds. It is fun to shoot and feels great in your hands compared to some .22 pistols, The accuracy isn't too bad but the browning buckmark is better for that. Overall I think this is a great gun.

sig mosquito
by: chris
The sig i have was almost ready for part exchange for a walther p22 but after buying my first box of cci mini mags she has never looked backed.the sig went from jamming every 3 or 4 rounds to a totally new gun on the mini mags.She always looked good but now shoots good and not a single jam on a cci round,i guess i have put a round 600 or 800 through her.

great pistol
by: brandoff
this gun has been an absolute blast to shoot and everything i bought a pistol for. it is fairly reliable with only a few feed problems here and there but honestly I've never seen a semi auto feed 100% flawlessly. if its reliability you want get a revolver!

MOSQIUTO....2ND CHANCE
by: JR,,,AGAIN
SINCE MY FIRST COMMENT ON THE FINICKY MOSQUITO, I HAVE FIRED 600 ROUNDS OF HYPER VELOCITY AMMO (USING THE HEAVY SPRING) WITHOUT ONE MALFUNCTION,,,HOWEVER I NOW ONLY LOAD 9 ROUNDS TO A MAGAZINE..SEEMS LIKE 10 GETS THE LITTLE STINKER OFF TO A BAD START AT TIMES. ALSO OILING THE FACTORY OIL HOLE RIGHT SIDE JUST REAR OF EJECTION PORT AND USING LITE OIL ON MAG SPRING HELPS...AFTER 1000 ROUNDS OF WORK-IN I'M GOING BACK TO LIGHT SPRING, MINI MAGS, 9 IN THE MAG AND HOPEFULLY TIGHTER GROUPS...SUGGEST SIG RECALL THE PISTOL,,OR RENAME IT THE H.F.H.M.P (HARLEY FORD HIGH MAINTENCE PISTOL)

mosquito got squashed....
by: back to my CZRAMI 9MM
wow, what a piece of crap. After it was fully cleaned and lubed it works great for the first 50 shots, then it jams, doesn't eject, doesn't feed. what a piece of crap. I tried Remmington thunderbolts, Federal High Velocity, Remmington Yellow Jackets. This weekend I will pay the money and try the cci stingers.. if they fail, then I am trading this gun in. I do love the look and feel, but it is a mess... My P22 was better, should have never sold it. Luckily I still have my CZ RAMI 2075, I fired over 1500 rounds of CCI Blazer aluminum cased rounds and they all feed, fired and extracted. I guess you get what you pay for.

Sig Sauer MOSQUITO
by: J.R.
I like the feel and appearance of this little SIG, but function is a big disappointment,,,,trigger could be better too. My fix for the jamming was to install the heavy recoil spring and switch to hivel Winchester ammo (1330 fps) and CCI Stingers (1640 fps). Firing becomes a bit hotter and torques the gun a tad but I like that..Overall this little pistol is no target piece, but would serve as a good warm up gun before firing a larger cal. pistol with a similar feel.

Perfect for New Shooters
by: Doug
The Sig Sauer Mosquito pistol is just an outstanding first-purchase for new gun owners. It's affordable and you can buy loads of ammo for it and not worry about straining your wallet. Just don't buy the cheapest ammo available, the gun will fight it. I suggest CCI mini-mags. I've never had any problems using that ammo.
You can take this gun to the range, shoot off 200 pounds, have loads of fun, all at an affordable price. If you are looking for a gun to protect yourself and your family, then this probably isn't the gun for you. But for loads of fun at the range (or plinking), and for new shooters, this gun is a perfect stepping stone.

Reliability of Sig-Sauer Mosquito 22LR Pistol
by: John
I too had problems with the pistol not ejecting properly. I was also firing the cheap Federal ammo from Wally World. I went to Remington Thunder Bolt high volicty ammo. It was still inexpensive at $1.63 a box. The pistol has been flawless since and a real joy to fire. Joe is right, the pistol is picky about ammo. I tried 4-5 differents brands untill I setteled on one that works. Sig reccomends CCI ammo and it does work well with it, but expensieve.

Reliability of Sig-Sauer Mosquito Pistol
by: Joe
The Sig-Sauer Mosquito pistol fits my hand perfectly, is manufactured of the highest quality materials, and is relatively inexpensive compared to other German produced firearms. Unfortunately, my pistol failed to reliably chamber rounds until the last 3 or 4 rounds were left in the magazine. It failed to chamber another round during the first 5 or 6 rounds fired, and had a hard time ejecting as well. Much like the Luger, I guess this pistol is picky about what type of ammunition it uses. I used Federal, my favorite ammunition brand, which works fine in my Walther P22, but the Mosquito was nothing more than a headache/nuisance. I don't have any confidence in this pistol and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
