How many of you guys have one? In my experience, it works very well with CCI cartriges... but when I started using Remington hollow points, It started jamming, and I had to clean the gun more often. Still a great plinker though. Tell me about yours.
 
Love mine. I have the threaded barrel version and as long as you keep it clean and well lubricated it functions great.

Couple thousand rounds of CCI Mini-Mags through mine with only a few problems during the break in period. Pretty flawless since then. I have not tried any other brand of ammo in mine. Clean and wet keeps mine happy.
 
It's funny you should ask.

I bought a two-tone Mosquito and a Taurus Tracker 990 last weekend because my wife does not like my Ruger MkIII 22/45. We took the Mosquito to the range last night. I cleaned and oiled it immediately before we left.

She loves the Sig Mosquito, and her proficiency went through the roof in about 180 rounds of CCI MiniMags. She actually told me in so many words that she loves the pistol. Her shooting has improved so much that I'm going to get her to work on controlled pairs our next time at the range.

Even though we're talking about .22lr, the improvement was applicable to centerfire. She shot one 9-round magazine of 9mm Luger from her EMP before we left, and even though she was tired, she put-up the best target she's ever done with that pistol.

I am somewhat kicking myself because she had handled a Mosquito at a gun show last November (when we got her EMP), and she said that she really liked the way the Mosquito felt in her hand. That was prior to getting our carry permits, so we were under the one-handgun-per-thirty-day limit, and a centerfire seemed like a much better idea at the time, hence the "somewhat" in the kicking myself part.

I guess it's time to sell a kidney to fund some magazines for the Mosquito.
 
I purchased one a few weeks ago. I haven't fired it much, but when I did, it was flawless (even with bulk Remington).

Bulk Remington is the one that jams. Perhaps I should switch back to CCI until the "break in period" is over. :scrutiny:
 
Picked up my Sig mosquito over a year ago. Started it off with the Super max Aguila ammo (300 rounds) and now it feeds anything. All I had to do was clean it when I brought it home and take it to the range. Been a great gun ever since. My 15yr old daughter likes it better then the P22 only because she is more accurate with it. About the only round it will not reliably shoot is the russian military surplus stuff with all the grease on them (green box stuff). If I remove the grease they work fine.
 
I have one and am considering getting another. Mine has been shot mostly suppressed using Remington subsonics and has run great. Last outing I went through about 400 rounds without a single malfunction. The only jams I have had with it has been when I have shot it without the suppressor.
 
Broke mine in on CCI Minimags - 500 rounds or so. Made a switch to Federal Bulk from Wally World. Very, very few problems.

Mine is pretty jam free only jams ive had are with remington bulk and it was the ammo not the pistol. Fun for plinking but not super accurate.

yeah, after I shoot through the 400+ rounds I have left, I'm gonna experiment with other rounds. Oh, and the mosquito is pretty damn accurate when you put a laser sight on it
 
Just got a new Mosquito....took it to the range Saturday, and put 200 rounds through it. The first 100 were CCI Mini-Mags, so there were no problems, next tried some Winchester Wildcat, with one feed jam out of 50 rounds. Finally, I tried some American Eagle, which the gun did not like....had about one jam every 10 rounds or so. Overall, the gun shot well and feels great in the hand...the only complaint I could come up with is that the trigger really sucks compared to my other pistols (a Sig P6 and a S&W 908), but in single action mode, it's good enough to plink with. It is also very similar in size, weight and controls to the P6, which makes it great for training.
