Sig Sauer Mosquito, .22 LR Training Pistol

The Sig mosquito is an interesting little 22 plinker capable of simulating Sig 226 training with low cost 22LR ammo. This test example showed good accuracy, good reliability with bulk federal Remington and Winchester 22 ammo. CCI Mini Mags are recommended by Sig and exhibit higher reliability over bulk ammo. For me, the volume of shooting at the lowest cost is what I'm looking for so if it will function with minor stoppages due to ammo I will shoot bulk. This pistol had acceptable stoppages due to bulk ammo and is fun to take out and substitute as a Sig trainer. The cons are the slide stop sticks out way too far, the Sig mags are over priced, the polymer Sig mags SUCK, and the trigger pull is DA/SA but heavy and gritty.

You are holding it wrong. that will effect the aim. I dont know what kind of grip that was but not even close. Watch some videos on how to hold a pistol and shoot. No offence, Just want you to get better.

@Peaceandwellness That's not an improper grip. That may not be the way you shoot but there is nothing wrong with that grip. Out of curiosity, do you have any videos of how you shoot pistols? I'd honestly just like to see what it is that makes this grip "not even close". And as a point of information, the shooter in this video is a pretty good pistol shot.

@Peaceandwellness exactly what is wrong with his grip? You mean because his left thumb is not on the slide maybe...The slide is not a thumb rest...

[ghillisniper300]

@MrUtubegunner There's nothing wrong with that. That's my point. It may be wrong for you, but I know a lot of people who have to shoot with their thumbs against the slide. It's an issue of hand size. If you have large hands you have to put them somewhere...putting the thumb against the slide is better than shooting one handed. The only negative side affect to that is you sometimes push down the release causing it to not lock back on the last shot.

Hey sup man, I just got my Sig yesterday. I am having a problem with it when i shoot it the spent shell doesnt leave the gun, even after i cock it back i have to go in with a small srewdriver and pull it out, any suggestions?

[ghillisniper300]

@fantauzzi84 That's no bueno. Check the extractor and call Sig...those are the only two things I can offer up. Does it happen on every shot?

[ghillisniper300]

@D148521 Thank you and I'm happy it helped. Even if you get one a little more finicky than this one was, I assume you can use better ammunition to alleviate most of the issues. Take care and happy shooting.

Gerat video. Thanks, it helped me a lot. I think I'm gonna get one to help me train for my Sig Pro 2009.

Bought mine about a week ago. Its total junk.  I took it back and am waiting for a new one. I hope its not a single shot as well.

@7722aaron It's not bad but the trigger is pretty gritty in my opinion so it can be tough to shoot well. In my experience, the Walther P22 is easier to shoot well, and the Browning Buckmark and the Ruger Mark III are both even better.
