Sig Sauer Mosquito

[Hoosier Gun Coat]

So far I've been very disappointed with my mosquito. I sold a P22 to buy it and I have regretted it ever since. If you have to buy parts for it, your SOL. Sig has none.

Here is the skinny on the SIG, and nothing but. It is hurt by newtonian physics. It is a fine pistol but falls below expectations, because it LOOKS heavier than it is. A little bit of a limp wrist, and you get a FTE or FTF or both. The much beloved Ruger Mark (fill the blank) is a LOT heavier and therefore easier to shoot the bullseye without malfunctions. The gun is just misunderstood and misunderestimated. Hold it in a death grip to ensure the proper recoil. It has a lot going for it, not the least because it comes with a factory-threaded barrel (the only competitor being the Walther P22 which, incidentally, generates just as much love/hate in the shooting masses.) Cleaning it is a breeze, barehanded, I can change the recoil spring at the range without fumbling for a tool. There shall be no end to religious disputes over which .22 (or anything) is better. I like my Mosquito, but it should have been made heavier - it is no carry piece or even a glove-compartment weapon. Take it for what it is, or consider something else (I might too, some day)

I use mine for cheap Combat Course practice where a firm grip is a must.
It's not a target pistol or a hunting pistol.
It was designed to be a cheap alternative to shooting full bore combat handguns.
In that respect it is more than adequate.
