Have not yet shot it. It came with a coupon for a $10 rebate on four boxtops (if you're the right age you get it) of mini-mags, so I bought 'em faithfully...

Sig P229/.357 clip hanging up on release. Has any one experienced the clip hanging up when pushing the release button? When I slam the clip home with my palm, it fails to release when removing it and I have to mannually remove the clip. Is it a clip or gun problem? If the clip is inserted gently, the hang doesn't occur. I have several sigs and have never had this problem. (P228/9mm, P229/357 and P228/229 22 LR conversion kit). My suspicion is the clip spring clearance is insufficient and is binding on the frame. Any opinions ???? David I.E. Sig P229/.357 clip hanging up on release.

DON'T BUY THE MOSQUITO!!! I am a huge Sig Sauer fan and use them everyday. I have a P226, P228, P229, Mosquito and the conversion kit. The conversion kit absolutely rocks. It is reliable and fits great. The Mosquito is very ammo sensitive and is the WORST Sig Sauer Product I have ever come across. I have a both the Mosquito and the 22LR conversion kit for my P226.

Also have a 229 Equinox in .40 S & W and .357 Sig. It is a better gun than I can shoot. I intend getting a .22 convervsion for it and have no doubt it will perform flawlessly. Had a Mosquito, fired less than 200 huindred rounds through it and knew it was not up to Sig;s standard, so sold it at quite loss and don't miss it. Have a P22 Walther. It is fine, the early one's had magazine hassle's which Walther fixed. Also have a CZ75 which is one fine gun, as Jeff Cooper attested. It shoots very reliability and is also a great value. Any of these guns would make you happy, they do me. I am a Sig fan, have a 239, had a trigger job done on it and it shoots “very well”. Also have a 229 Equinox in .40 S & W and .357 Sig.

I also looked at the mosquito but was turned off by the MANY complaints aganst this pistol. I like the P226, however in the end I opted for a CZ75B 9mm and bought a 22LR conversion kit (kadet kit). The CZ75 is a beautiful weapon albeit a bit large. The 22LR kit has to-date perfromed FLAWLESSLY with no misfeeds, FTL, FTE etc. I can put pretty much any 22LR though it and it will work no problem Also shoots very accurately and is a very CLEAN firing weapon with no buildup of powder residue.

My P226 is in the serial number range U7XXXXX so it is not the issue with the earlier W. German guns. The slide fits tight and it takes excessive force to rotate the break down lever into the "assembled" position. The slide will not travel freely on the frame...the contact points are in the slide grooves about 1.5 inches from the front of the slide...will take some gunsmithing to correct. Disapointing!

I bought a Mosquito new last year (for about $250) and have put hundreds of rounds through it. The only FTF issues I've experienced have been with Remington brand ammo. I usually shoot CCI (preferred), Winchester and Federal; I absolutely love the pistol. I’ve owned a 229 for 2 years now and love it.

I have read many reports about problems with the Walther P22. The general consensus is that if you buy it you must be willing to fix many problems. Thanks matt for letting us know.

The mosquito when I bought it was over 400 bucks out the door brand new. After shooting several thousand rounds through it I've determined it worth about half that. Its very picky about ammo type. Not terribly accurate and the trigger kind of sucks. It is cheaply made and performs like it. Now if it had been 200 bucks new I would have expected some performance issues at 400 it should operate like a Sig should. I own a 229 ands its one of the best autos I have. I've notice now that mosquitoes are going for 250 or so. Thats about what they are worth IMHO. I can’t speak to the walther having never owned one.

It feels so funny to pull the trigger on a big .45 to only get the 'pop' of a .22LR. I absolutely LOVE the conversion kit for my 1911, I imagine this will be just as fun.
