Sig Mosquito 1st Time at The Range

itsslow98 · Nov 28, 2010

Picked up my Reverse Two Tone Sig Mosquito from Gun Connection on friday and went to Elk Neck today to put some rounds through it. AFter reading and reading I was a bit skeptical of how itd do with FTF, FTE etc.

I cleaned the gun before taking it like I would any brand new gun and started off with CCI Mini Mag 40 grain and blew through about 50 rounds without one problem. Next mag I had one failure to feed it just never got picked up out of the mag. Went through the rest of the 100 round pack without another problem.

Then I started shooting the 36 grain CCI mini Mag Hollow Points. Shot 100 rounds of them without a problem even burning through the 10 roubd clip as fast as I could. So now im in 200 rounds on a brand new gun with one problem so far. Shot another 50 and it jammed about 2 more times so I called it a day leaving extremely happy with my purchase.

The gun is definetly a fun little shooter that leaves you with no regrets leaving the range knowing you didnt just blow 100 bucks on ammo. Honda53s was with me and now he wants one lol. Ill get some pics up tomorrow.

Sounds like you better stick with that ammo, it seems to be doing well with your skeeter.

whatever you do ( I did this ) do not over tighten the barrel retaining screw... I now have a stripped cast iron feeling soft metal sub frame and my barrel is permanently loose.. =)

I plan on it, im not like others ive read about complaining about paying for the "expensive" 22lr ammo. Im already saving so much over my .40 i dont mind paying for it.

The SIg box it came in even had a coupon for CCI and said to use it in the owners manual.

I agree. After I spent over a $100.00 in .45 and .40 ammo, I look over at allen and hes like I have spent $12.00. As soon as my collector license gets approved(tomorow marks 30 days) I will be in at gun connection getting one. I was very impressed with how the gun felt and shot. That gun will pay for itself in just a couple weekends of shooting!!!

Mine shoot great... the first time. The second time, every other shot was a stove pipe or fail to load. Apparently I suck at cleaning... and shooting a brick the first time might have been a bit much. After a good cleaning, I haven't had any real problems with the gun. Yeah, maybe 1-2 failures out of a 100 isn't too bad... mostly when the first few shots at the range might have problems. But this isn't a ccw/home defense gun, so I guess thats okay. Just remember to keep it super clean and you have two recoil springs.

Besides, shooting 2 or 3 hundred rounds at the range for 10 bucks is worth a few mis fires or squibs. I shoot the 525 federal bulk packs from walmart.

Federal lightning 22LR works well in my skeeter and is much cheaper than CCI
Give it a try can't hurt. Wally carries it.

Thanks, ill stick to the CCI since its been working. I dont mind paying 6 bucks for 100 rounds since ive been paying 15 for 50 for my Glock 23.

I've had mine for a couple of years now with only a few ftf's and I think it was the ammo, not the gun as I tried the failed rounds in a bolt action rifle and they wouldn't fire there either (Rem. Golden bullets). I have put probably 800 rounds down the pipe of both CCI's and Rems with only those couple of problems. Great gun in my opinion.
