Sig Mosquito safety features

All guns have at least 1 safety feature and that feature is you having respect for the destruction a gun can cause. This also happens to be the only safety feature on a car, so it's not a hard concept to grasp. This pistol has several safety features because it is designed as a training gun for beginners. Everything from the .22lr caliber, it's small size, it's low recoil, it's slide safety, magazine safety, and decocking lever is designed for the beginner. When you teach a kid to drive they can make a mistake that can cost lives. This is why a drivers education car has a passenger side brake for the instructor to use to help prevent the loss of life in the event a mistake is made by the beginner. Same goes for the safeties on this gun. This is why I think all of the safeties were a good idea to add to this firearm. This gun is fun for both the beginner and the experienced shooter.
This is not a defensive weapon. Although it can kill and can be used as a defensive weapon, that is not what it as designed for. This gun jams more than a gun that was designed as a defensive tool, it does not have the knock down power of a defensive pistol of the same size, and it has safety devices that will slow you down when drawing your firearm to defend your life. I see this gun how it was intended to be seen. It's a fun plinker that can serve to teach new shooters how to be safe and have fun at the same time.

If you have any other thoughts on this subject then feel free to share them. I dont' know it all, this is just my take on the subject.

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

[jboritzki]

@MrTurbineblade Thanks man. I appreciate the comment. 

[soldier6665]

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.

.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.

@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.

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

[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.

[310mark13]

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

[DobermansRock]

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.

@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)

[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. =/

@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
