Sig mosquito reliable?

[viet4lifeOC]

I'll go against the grain and say I LOVE MY SIG MOSQUITO.

It was my first gun...and I put in nearly 34K in four months. I would put in 500 round per range trip and it's tapered off since I've been buying other handguns.

I just got finishing DROSing my the Sig .22LR when I met another Sig Mosquito buyer who was complaining of getting up to 70% FTF/FTE. That seriously worried me. Thought I made a huge mistake. He did preference that he bought the cheap bulk ammo.

I got my Sig..read the manuel and just feed it CCI mini-mags ($.06/round) for thousands of rounds. Then went with the Federal bulk. Of course I occassionally get FTF/FTE. Being new, I just saw it as a great way of learning the tap-rack procedure and to learn about how a gun operates in general.

I babied that Sig..cleaned it after every range trip...feed it only CCI mini-mags for thousands of rounds.

For the money....I learned a lot. I also plan to make it my 8 years-old son's first gun also. So I am happy to know I am seriously stretching its value . Coolness factor had something to do with it also. Also, I knew that I would soon jump to getting a 9mm..so I wanted something heavy, looked, and felt like a 9mm.

I definately think the rugers and buckmark ARE much better guns, but I simply did not like the esthetics of them.

Go with the ruger with cheap ammo....

I've had a Sig Mosquito for a while now and I'm pretty happy with it. The trigger does suck, but I haven't had the ammo problems most people seem to have. I've put about 3000 rounds of CCI Blazers thru it and rarely have a problem. I just make sure I clean it every time I shoot it.

I've also got a Ruger Mk 1, Ruger Mk 2 and a Walther P22 and I really like them all.

Where did you come across a Mosquito for $200? If there are more for that price, please share

+1 to the going against the grain. I recently purchased a Sig Mosquito as well, and love the pistol. I feed it a steady diet of CCI Mini-Mags or Stingers and have had no problems with it. I prefer the ergonomics to that of other .22 pistols.
