Sig Mosquito safety features

[MrTurbineblade]

Really enjoyed your video man, you covered a lot of important aspects

@MrTurbineblade Thanks man. I appreciate the comment.

With some common hand tools and a little common sense the magazine safety can be removed. The pistol will fire in double or single action after about 30 minutes work. Remove the slide and barrel. On the left hand side viewed from the top you can see the mechanism that locks the trigger when the mag is removed. I used a dremmel tool with a burr and a small jewlers handfile to remove the californian's from my Mosquito. Some further work on the feed ramp with the barrel out and she is sweet now.

@DobermansRock can you post a vid RE how this was done please

[DobermansRock]

@310mark13 I would if I still had it. Wish I had made a video when I was doing it. Its not hard though. You just have to look at how it functions. The rest is just removing the right pieces.

does that little sight work good for you ?

i just bought this pistol and so far iam not impressed with the stoppages every time i shoot. anyway im curious to see if the laser sight works alright?

[jboritzki]

@soldier6665 The sight works ok in low light but not at all in daylight. I've taken it off of the pistol now though. Are you using CCI minimags when you shoot? This gun will jam a lot until it's been shot a lot or had the feed ramp polished. Mine works nearly 100% now so long as I use the correct ammo and the correct recoil spring.

Good points all around. I'm just glad that Sig made a solid training pistol like this so that I can bring new shooters into things using .22.

I consider manually actuated safeties to be bad teaching aids. Same for the magazine disconnect safety. All you need to do to handle a firearm safety is trigger control. Out of the trigger guard #1 rule in my opinion (when not immediately ready to fire). Build up muscle memory getting used to pulling the trigger and then immediately putting your trigger finger on the frame of the gun is paramount! Manual safeties are also not 100% reliable either and counting on one is not smart.

Great video. I own this gun and I agree with you all the way on this. It is a training gun so safety is key! When someone is learning to shoot you can never be to safe. Again nice video. I have some videos of this gun posted check em out.

.22 hollow point rounds can literally slice a person's internal organs to shreds once it's inside the body. The velocity that a .22 leaves the barrel with is insane so when the hollow point round penetrates the body and hits a bone, it tends to flatten out to a rounded disc with razor sharp edges and ricochets around inside the body until it runs out of momentum. A .22 round has the potential to be just as deadly as a round from a high powered assault rifle. After all, dead is dead.

[jboritzki]

@obstaclecorse

I agree a .22 is dangerous and should be respected as much as any other caliber gun when handling and storing. I wouldn't say it's as powerful as a .223 or 7.62x39 though. It can kill easily, but it doesn't have the energy of the larger rounds.

[tamafinatic]

@jboritzki Then again, only hollow-points are deadly, regular .22 bullets aren't that dangerous, my grandmother was shot in the shoulder as a child, with a .22 rifle, she's alive and well. my great-uncle was also shot, but in the eye, the most he lost? vision in his right eye, and depth perception. plus, my great-grandmother was shot in the jaw, lost a few teeth, still alive, and uses a bridge now. that's the most that happened, these bullets arent good for self defense or altogether killing. =/

[tamafinatic]

@jboritzki Also, to ensure noone gets the wrong message, the shooter was my great-grandpa donald. (noone knows why he did it, but he dissapeared after the shooting)

[happymark1805]

@obstaclecorse - a .22 bounces very easely so it bounces in the body and stays in the body, especialy if it's hollow point, you may not be dead on impact, you probebly bleed to death internaly, so in fact a .22 is more dangerous than a 9mm

fooooooooooolllll

[kezzkezzkezz3]

do these things take silver bullets? im hunten for ware wolfs and vampires tonight so there will be no twighlight 3 sequal aha

[ikimikiss2]

oooooooooooooooo

[OK8888]

Pekka-Eric Auvinen killed 9 people with the mosquito during Jokela School shooting.

[jboritzki]

@OK8888

Most people don't think the .22 is deadly. Stories like the Jokela school shooting and numerous other shootings, by both good guys and bad guys alike, should be enough to warn people of the potential danger a .22 possesses. Gun safety is the most important part of learning to shoot and owning firearms.

[guns4fun2010]

Thanks for the information in this video! i Just purchased this at a gun show today for my wife to practice at the range.

[jboritzki]

@guns4fun2010

Really gla you liked the video. Glad I could be of some help.

[jordanleegustafson]

i have a sig just like that and im sure that laser is called a weaver

[echorwt]

Thanks for the vid. I checked out all the major plinkers and the Mosquito was my pick. Just curious, what type of laser, where did you get it and how much was it?

[jboritzki]

@echorwt

I am not sure of the brand, but it was about $15 on Ebay. It's a pain to adjust but once it is sighted in, it pretty much stays there.

[ToAstYNaChO]

hey man. just got the gun today. love it. nice in my hands and love the decocker. thanks for advice : )

[dboy510dg]

remember to use cci mini mags or there is a good chance the gun will jam.

[ToAstYNaChO]

hey im 13. my dads going to get a .22 sig mosquito for me. do you think this handgun is better than the walther p22. i like the mosquito because its comportable in my hands. what do you think?. please reply

[jboritzki]

I have never fired or owned a P22 but I hear the P22 is a great little gun as well. Not as easy to break down for cleaning but less picky on ammo. I have held the P22 and almost bought one but then they got the Mosquito in the store. Both felt good in the hand. I think either would be a good choice.
