After some advice in another thread, I took my wife today to check out a few handguns at a local store with a fairly wide selection. She settled on the Walther P22. Was easy enough for her to rack and seemed to fit her hand well. Finger got to the trigger with no problem, etc.
They did not have a Sig Mosquito to handle. In looking at both online, they seem to fit roughly the same market niche. We were looking at the P22 with 5" barrel. The Sig Sporter has a 5" barrel as well.
I know very little about Walthers. I have always understood Sigs to be extremely fine firearms, although this Mosquito is obviously in a price point that is lower than Sig's other offerings. The Walther is about $50 more than the Sig. Which would you prefer and why, please? Obviously, it will be my wife's choice. On one hand, I'm sorta trying to determine whether or not I need to drive across town next weekend to another store so she can get the feel of the Sig. If the Walther is a real fan favorite, and worth the extra $50, then I won't waste our time. Also, just out of curiosity, I'm wondering about how the two compare. Thanks.
