22 LR Sig Sauer Mosquito - how are they?
are they dependable?
who has one?
With Mini Mags, they are great.
Broke it in with mini mags. Shoots pretty much everything now, but sometimes has issues with Blazer 22. I love the mosquito, and it's a little tack driver.

this, and they eat the velocitor well, stingers not so much. fun little pistol to shoot. I use one in my beginner classes for kids
I own one. After a trip back to SIG it now works with 40gr. Mini-Mags if it is kept clean and lubed per the Operators Manual. Not actually manufactured by Sig. I wouldn't buy another one.
ETA- There is usually a monthly thread along these lines. Search "mosquito" and you will have lots of opinions to read.
I just want a fun little 22 lr to shoot besides my Rugers- thanks for the replies
Then go look at the new Ruger SR22, it's a much more reliable pistol.
M&P 22 is a blast to shoot as well and very reliable.

Correct. If disassembled and lubed very 500 rounds, and it you do NOT use a two hand hold, it is fine.
Two-handed hold means your thumb is likely to hit the slide release and cause a failure (even the slightest pressure results in a FTE).
And, the lube will be an issue between rounds 250 and 500.
I have one, but it now spends almost as much time in the safe as my Walther P22

+1 and look no further.
I had the threaded bbl model & used it for my suppressor host. Contrary to some people's experiences, mine ran 100% & never gave me any grief at all. I did keep it clean & well lubed though.
Zinc slides break.
Cheap foreign junk.
Wait for the Ruger SR-22: US, aluminum slide.
