Sig Sauer Mosquito (4/5) | May 17, 2009 | Richard Cole | Chesapeake Vi US |
|
After my USMC son bougt his Mosquito at a big retailer, choosing it after first holding the S&W P22, I loved it. Love the gun. Shoots CCI minimags well, no misfeeds, didn't like the CCI Stingers, or just about anything else I had on hand, including Rem Thunderbolt and some cheap Federals. Won't outshoot the Ruger 22/45 or the Super Single Six my brother owns as far as accuracy, but even he loves the feel and the ease of cleaning. His Thai wife likes the grip of the Mosquito better than the 22/45 since her hands are small. My police officer son also loves the Mosquito is is considering buying one as well. |

Finicky but dead-on (4/5) | May 28, 2008 | Adam Tirrell | Hampton VA US |
| Still in the break in period for mine, only 300 rounds through it so far; doesn't like CCI Stingers (actually fires less than 1/2 the time; the rest of the time, it's either the second fire after a misfire or it stovepipes) or Legionnare (lot of misfeeds), but with CCI Velocitors or Blazers, the accuracy is incredible, the handling a breeze, the recoil negligible. Handles just like my SigSauer P220 .45, and I find myself shooting better with the .45 after training with the Mosquito. Great pistol | ||||

Mosquito sport model (3/5) | Nov 25, 2008 | don felts | Orange Te US |
|
The first 100 rounds included several that did not fire on the first try, one unfired round that would not eject, and several occasions of the action not fully closiing. Accuracy was good. The manual is contradicted by a separate sheet regarding which recoil spring should be used. There are several errors in the manual. I have not tried the cci cartridges yet, nor the heavier spring that came with the gun but not in it. The weight on the end of the sport model barrel loosens during firing. Since the front sight is relocated to this weight on the sport model, I am amazed that the accuracy was good. I have moved the sight back to the position on the non-sport model. I am no gun expert, but I am amazed that Sig secured the weight on the reduced diameter of the barrel with a setscrew. I believe a little lump travels down the barrel every time a bullet is fired on any gun. Not smart to setscrew or clamp the barrel of any gun. |

Don't fear the Mosquito (5/5) | May 6, 2009 | John Messer | Simpsonville SC US |
| I purchased a Mosquito a few weeks ago and have put about 350 rounds through it so far. I've had no problems except when I tried to use CCI Stingers, which it hated and ftf or fte about half the time. It loves Federal Gold Medal Premium and CCI Minimags. I clean after every firing and it's very easy to strip and clean. Very fun to shoot and glad I made the purchase | ||||

Two Tone fun gun (5/5) | Mar 13, 2007 | Joe Dado | Latrobe PA US |
| I recently purchased the two tone mosquito. Unlike some other buyers, my version had no problems feeding CCI mini-mags and Remington Goldens. Trigger has some creep, but I already have a High Standard Victor for target and was looking for a plinker. I found it with the mosquito and am glad I chose it over the Walther 220, which I found a bit on small side for my liking. | ||||

Kirk (5/5) | Jul 17, 2009 | Kirk Ramsing | Albuquerque Ne US |
| Great little handgun. I also have a Walther P-22, but so far the Sig Sauer shoots tighter groups and is is not as loud as the Walther. The takedown of the Mosquito is easier than the Walther counterpart. In my opinion, the Mosquito is better built than the P-22, but don't get me wrong, the P-22 is a fine handgun also. I carry a Glock 21 for defense purposes, and also carry the p-22 as a backup because of it's ultra compact size. I train with the Mosquito because of ammo affordability and availability issues. | ||||

Mosquito (4/5) | Oct 27, 2009 | Brad | Natchez MS US |
| Finicky with most "underpowered bulk (rather not high velocity)" ammo, even with spring changes. seems to like HP ammo very well. with the three, included front sight pins and the take down ability, it's easy to choose which sight fits you the best. i can definitely shoot my 226 better b/c of this little bugger. BTW, it eats Remington Golden Bullets and CCI Mini Mags like candy. the only real Stinger problem, is the failure to extract "live" ammo, some of the time; it's only b/c they are longer than regular .22's and b/c of the heavy wax that is applied around the bullet | ||||

After 1st outing w Mosquito (3/5) | Mar 15, 2012 | Theresa Lamb | OLIVE BRANCH MS US |
| Love the feel, style etc of this weapon; wanted something for cheaper practice as my weapon of choice is my Glock 19. I did have some isuses with FTF, FTE using bulk .22LR Winchester. Will relubricate and I am going to get the CCI Mini Mags recommended & hope that clears up those issues. I called Wal-Mart sporting goods dept and they do carry the CCI brand and it's just a little more expensive than the Federal and Winchester 550 and 555 boxes. | ||||
