I don't drop by this forum very often, but I had to chime in on my new toy. I own a few .22 rifles...well actually, my 10/22 is claimed by my 6 year old daughter so I guess I can take that one off the list. I have shot many .22 pistols and riles owned by friends and such.... I purchased a Sig Mosquito a week ago. I shoot it mostly with my AAC Pilot can on the end. It is the best .22 pistol I have ever shot with or without the can. I wanted something that would cycle sub-sonics at least for a few mags. I wanted something that didn't feel like a toy like the Walther P22. I wanted an accurate, yet somewhat compact, light springed .22 pistol. The Sig actually comes with 2 springs, one for light loads and one for hyper sonic loads. It's definately much more (my tactical model was over $450 and the standard model will run you around $350) but it is well worth it. It is basically a somewhat smaller Sig 226. Very sturdy feeling, made of real metal and not a bunch of plastic. Easy to use, not the complicated mag release and such from the Walther (although I do have the most respect for Walther since my Grandfather gave me the PP that he brought back from WWII), and very reliable. It has a fixed barrel so there is NO play at all. Basically, spend the extra $ and get the SIG rather than the Walther. I am in no way, shape or for associated with ANY gun manufacturer, dealer or any other such thing.

| I have a P22 with SRT suppressor. Can't remember the last time I cleaned it. Shot about 200 rounds yesterday. Most were Remington Subsonic. No malfunctions. I would guess this thing is 98-99% reliable. I do get a failure to fire on occasion but I pull the trigger a second time and it usually goes bang. I think these are ammo failures. Gun is dependable. I wanted to try a Sig but I think I wait a little longer. |
| You guys need to stop by the Rimfire Pistols forum... Numerous people have questions about firsthand experience with the Sig. |
