Re: Sig Mosquito?
I bought my Mosquito new, had it about 2 months, fired at this date at least 1200 rounds. I don't like the double action pull, that is it! I have had about 5 FTFeed No FTFires.
It is very close to my P239, in appearance and feel. I wanted a pistol that my eight year old would shoot with me...ta da the Mosquito! It is not the same workmanship as the P239, but it is not for protection! A great plinker, actually I cannot say much to that effect (it is my first plinker).
I do enjoy the pistol, my son cannot pull the double action yet, but he has his work arounds (charges pistol's first round). I can say that it is very accurate, I do well with all my pistols S&W Airweight .38 Special, Sig .40 P239, S&W .357 Detective Special. The Mosquito is the tightest groups of any. After pulling the tallest front site, then figuring out that was the one needed...I am hitting bullseye at 20 yards very often. Also I just love the price of .22 rounds.
The ammo I used first in the gun I believe was the problem (I don't remember what brand) I have shot over a thousand Fiocchi High Velocity 38grain with no problems. I have ordered from two different sites the recommended CCI Mini Mag (3000 rounds each). So you see my Mosquito is staying. I put my ammo in a Crown Royal sack, and sprayed a touch of Pro Long, this is before I ever read that people are trying this out to improve feeding, it made a mess! Fired with no problems, just the sticky... I tried to get the sticky off at range, then came home and blasted ammo with Powder Blast, and wiped them a little with gun oil on a rag so they weren't dry. I won't spray anything on them again as my particular gun doesn't have the problems I am reading about.
I am keeping mine, but if I knew all of this before hand I would have looked further (especially the double action pull for my son). I am chomping at the bit to go shoot it today. I think I am Plink happy and not just Mosquito happy as it were. .07 cents a round aprox. Fourteen bucks... Two hundred paper holes (Can't beat it)
Edited this post after range outing:
Just got back from shooting it: One thing I noticed... the first two rounds did not fire, only because of the safety was left on. There were marks on the rim of the said two rounds. I don't like that too much, didn't fire, but sure made me pick up and toss them rounds well away from me.
