I got to shoot one 3 days ago. A friend had purchased one and was having problems with jams. Told him to try several brands I tried winchester hyper velocities, etc. and he had purchased the CCI target. It jammed with the CCI target. I bought the CCI Mini Mags that have HP on the box and says Varmint at the bottom in teeny tiny letters. The gun fired all 100 rounds without a hitch. From now on he only buys the CCI Minimags HP Varmint.

I got a real good deal on a lightly used one that i picked up for my son we only run CCI through it , never a failure of any kind with it. Its not as accurate as i would like to see
but for a cheap plinker and training tool i have no complaints.

I know when I got my Mosquito, there was a bright slip of paper in the case that basically warned that you need to use CCI minimags with the spring that ships in the gun. There was another spring that came in the box for other ammo. There was also a coupon in the box for a minimag rebate or something.
I'm thinking that might be the trick, because I do have FTF quite a bit if i try to run mine 'out of the box' with standard ammo, but the CCI minimags seem to cycle fine. I've never tried the other spring, fwiw.

Sig Mosquito Redeaux
I bought a Sig Mosquito last week despite dire warnings..I just so happens that I like Sig handguns and the Mosquito does not look like a toy.
I looked at the P22 but it was much too small for my hands.
Here's my analysis: Sig has some Q.C. issues with their INSTRUCTION MANUAL!!
Pistol is shipped with two recoil springs (One for "High Speed" ammo and one for cheap junk) The Mosquito was SUPPOSED to be shipped with the "High Speed" spring installed. Not So!! Mine came with the long "junk ammo" spring. Result, stovepipe on last round of magazine #1.
Instructions specify "white marked" spring. Bull****, there is no marking on either spring.
Instructions indicate that the Sport Version and Silencer Version are 207 in. long!! Probably meant to be 207 mm. The manual also indicates that the trigger "Pool" is 3,5-6,6 SA and 13,2-16 lbs DA.
Also, pistol is furnished with 3 front sights..There is no info in the manual about how to change the sight out..(You squeeze the prongs together from the bottom inside the front slide).
After I changed to the correct spring, I have absolutely no issues with the Mosquito.
It would be extremely helpful if Sig would fix/expand their Instruction Manual, ship the pistol with the correct spring installed, and employ someone that speaks english and thinks in inches, not millimeters!!
P.S. Mine was $299.95 at Academy Sports in Houston.

I like the feel of the pistol and the looks but,
I was using a friend of mines, its was one of the first gen i think... The thing was problem ridden, it was also very inaccurate with both barrels we used with it. The sights IMO are terrible, way to much play. The trigger was crazy... you had too pull it half an inch back and then it would engage then it would finally go off. The magazines were very poor at loading, FTF every other shot. Would only shoot CCI Stingers and sometimes fiochi high velocity. The pros to it was it felt good in the hands and well thats it... But it was new and even after 400rnds through it it was still rebelling. IDK if it was just a bad one or if there is something that wasn't reassembled right but Im sure were gonna have to work on it when he gets back from italy. Sooo, heres all the negative review for this thread.
maybe someone has some good things to say

Mine runs like a freight train, no problems at all and reasonably accurate.
