RE: Sig Mosquito .22 pistol?
I have one and I think is a fine pistol. I have read reviews that they can be pickey with ammo. Mine runs fine, I keep it clean and lubed. Accuracy is OK but not good enough for a target gun in my hands.

RE: Sig Mosquito .22 pistol?
I was interested in one myself a month ago and when i researched it there was a scary number of people who owned one or knew someone who did that said "stay away" that its really touchy with feed problems etc.
I honestly don't remember one person that said "yeah get it, great pistol"??
Seemed like everyone tried to steer me toward a Ruger MKIII or a Browning Buckmark.
I owned a ruger previously and liked it so thats what I went with..........Ruger MKIII 22/45 w/ the 5" bull barrel.
I can say I DO love it. I have exactly 1100 rounds of ammo through it this month alone and I have had exactly ONE failure to fire with a bad cartridge, no jams or feed problems in 1100 rounds.
Not too shabby with run of the mill Remington and Winchester Hi velocity stuff.
I can knock down water bottles at 50 yards with it more often than not offhand and at 25yds off a bench groups very nice for cheap ammo.
The field stripping for cleaning is a PITA til' you understand it but the gun is dead nuts reliable and accurate....nice buy for $299
