can you take of the threaded end cap and put it back on?

[Ghostie604]

@vybzshakur, Yes you can. No problem.

I have read that this .22 gun jams ALOT?  Yours seems fine, why do you think others have problems?

[Ghostie604]

It's the ammo. The ammo in the video is the "famous" CCI Mini-mags. Use that, it works fine. The problem with Mini-mags though is that it sort of defeats the purpose of a .22LR pistol in the first place, as it is about 2.5 to 3 times as expensive (or more) than a regular .22LR round. (12-15 cents vs. 4 cents). That's why I like shooting Czech surplus 7.62x39 for 18 cents a round. A lot of bang for your buck. I need a 7.62x25 pistol to shoot surplus now. Supposed to be comparable to .357 SIG.

I suppose I should have put "10-15 cents a round", after putting "2.5 to 3". Hard to find Mini-mags that cheap anymore though. It is realistically more like 3 to 4 times. "CCI Standard Velocity" is, strangely enough, another round that works well in Mosquito and other .22LR autoloaders.

Hello. So overall how would you evaluate the Mosquite? It's important because I am considering purchase. How hard are the mags to load? I have a P22 and love it. Is it accurate, How hard is to to assemble/disassemble and how hard to clean (very important). thanks in advance, Sincerely, JAMES.

[Ghostie604]

The mags are easy to load. Basically all .22LR mags are single stack, and they usually have a lever you can hold down that stops the follower from coming to the top. Mosquito does. Similar to the P22. It is reasonably accurate. Not as accurate as a Ruger or Browning though. It wil still group nicely though. It is easy to field strip, a little tricky to completely disassemble. It is easy to keep clean. It is a fixed barrel gun. Requires very little oil or grease.

The SIG Mosquito is the best .22 LR fungun on the market. FUNGUN guys FUNGUN! This NOT the best SPORTSGUN!

to be honest, i thought it was a toilet seat at first.

I am a left handed shooter and am tryin to decide which gun to buy: the p22 or the mosquito. It would be my first gun and I have informed myself pretty well about both guns. The main advantage of the p22 is that it is ambidextrous. But I kind of like the SIG better in all other aspects. Eventhough I have never owned a gun, I am a fairly good shot. I ahouldnt have problems with the SIG sights. Would you reccomend this gun based on that information?

Thanks

Hi. I noticed you have more than one magazine. Did you purchase it from Sig Sauer - & if so was it the plastic kind OR was it the metal kind like the one they gave you that comes with the gun when you purchase it? Thank You. Sincerely, JAMES.

@Ghostie604

I use federal 40gr in my Sig 22 and it eat's them up no jam's try it.

[leeleeleeleeleeleel1]

Yes.

[sj1778]

Theirs nothing wrong with the gun . It's due to the 22 rimfire cartridge . Just about all ! 22 auto's jam .

[CRC1770]

Is that a standard size rail on it ?

Could I put my Surefire X300 on it ?

[9787Forzuki]

I have one too and it jams, but I was talking to the guy I bought it from today (who also has one) and he said he had to put like 450 - 500 rounds through it til it was broken in nice.
