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. | ||||

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 | ||||

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 | ||||

Great little gun (5/5) | Nov 9, 2009 | Carlos Tellechea | miami fl US |
| Just purchased a Sig Mosquito over the weekend and took it to the range after a good cleaning. Misfired several cartridges, I took it apart and put in the optional spring it came with, shot three hundred rounds without another problem. Changed the front sight and I was shooting a nice group @ 10 yards. Sure would have liked it to come with another clip! | ||||

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 | ||||

Mosquito a Great Shoot (4/5) | Nov 24, 2008 | Dale T. Pierce | Niceville Fl US |

Since my P226 was too large for her hands, I bought the Mosquito for my wife to use at the range. After I received it I took it to the range for break in because I didn't want her to have any trouble with it. Before taking it to the range, I disassembled, cleaned, coated with CLP, and reassembled it. At the range, I put 100 rounds of CCI Stinger through it. Then switched to Federal Copper Coat (Wal-Mart). No feeding problems noted except with Remington (tried several types). Mag loading is important. After putting 10 rounds into a mag, turn the mag so the rounds are nose-up, compress the spring about 1/8 of an inch and gently shake from top to bottom (a couple of times) and back to top (stop shaking with the rounds leaning toward the feed end). For some reason, the rounds will fall into place for optimum feeding. You can recognize whether you did it right because the nose of the first round is clearly above the magazine. Perhaps it seems a bit finnicky, but not for a 22LR. Certainly no more so than my Browning Buckmark which needs the same magazine shake maneuver, and on which I had to dremmel the lower side fo the breech to get it to stop the feeder jams. Note: My Buckmark doesn't like Remington 22s either. |

Mosquito Sport (5/5) | Mar 18, 2009 | Eddie Daniel | tallassee al US |
| This .22 handles great and shoots even better, I have seen bad reviews of the Mosquito but I have feed it all types of ammo and with the light recoil spring it has not failed yet. Much better built than the P-22 walther, and yes I have an informed opinion, I have owned 4 P-22's and I wished I would have started with the Mosquito, decent ammo and a little cleaning and it wont fail you. | ||||
