My son had the same problem with his. A dark mark against Sig in his book.A Sig Mosquito. It rarely got through a magazine without a malfunction. Shame on you, Umarex!

The majority of jams I have had have been either magazine related (I isolated the misfeed jams to a specific mag) or ammo related (Bum individual rounds). I can't recall any one gun I have owned jamming regularly no matter which mag or ammo I used...but I did have a S&W5906 issued to me that would FTE a lot. I'm sure that guns' problems were due to an extractor issue.
My brother had a Mauser HSc that was imported by Interarms back in the '70s that could readily be expected to jam constantly too.
Ditto on the jamming Mauser HSC, had one myself years ago. As someone mentioned above, I won't abide a jammer.. be it pistol, shotgun, or rifle.I have had one: a stainless Walther PPKs comes to mind.

YES! I had the same problem. I got rid of the mosquito and picked up a walther p22. Every once in a while I have an issue with the p22, but with the mosquito, it was every single magazine.A Sig Mosquito. It rarely got through a magazine without a malfunction. Shame on you, Umarex!

I think the Neos is a decent choice.Tallball
When I took my daughter to the local gun shop to let her pick out her first .22 pistol she was handling the SIG Mosquito for the longest time. Thankfully she liked the feel and balance of the Beretta Neos more and went with that instead.
I think the Neos is a decent choice.
Go a couple clicks more on the mounting nut than Beretta recommends (2-3 clicks IIRC), and the gun becomes very unreliable. Tighter is better, right?! Duh!kcofohio
Yeah it's been very reliable for the most part (doesn't really care for some bulk pack ammo), and had no problems with it before the recall and none since they fixed it. One thing I like about the Neos is the magazines; they're very well made, relatively inexpensive, and pretty easy to load (which is typically my job while my daughter just keeps on shooting). I picked up 4 or 5 spares magazines for her when I bought the gun and I think they make a big difference in keeping the gun up and running.
The Neos works, and I have found the 6" model very accurate. But with a red dot mounted to it. The grip angle takes a bit of, "Where is that dot?".No doubt-if you can abide the looks of one of the ugliest firearms ever made.
