I have a friend who owns a Sig Mosquito who has similar issues with feeding and slide lock. I don't think it's a "break in issue," but rather a design issue with Sig Sauer.

Does anybody with an idea as to how to fix the prob? I have put about 250 rounds of Blazer ammo thru it so far, so I am fairly sure that it has been broken in.
Thanks for the help,

I have found that changing the spring doesn't help. The Mosquito is still an unreliable Sig.dukalmighty wrote:The sig mosquitos like CCi 22 ammo and states it in the instruction manual,It also comes with 2 recoil springs one for lregular loads and one for hotter ammo.I shot federal bulk box out of mine and got about 10% FTE from that ammo

Thanks for the info WildBill, I am probably going to call sig and see if they have a fix for this problem, I haven't had any dealings with the cust svc dept yet, hopefully it will be a good experience. I will update with any info from Sig.
Update: Just spoke with sig cust svc. they are going to have me send the gun in so that one of their gun smiths can take a look at it. they quoted me 4-5 wks turn around time. I can deal with this as it is not my ccw.

Re: Mosquito bite
I bought some Federal .22 and I am going to run a box of that through it. If still no change I too will be calling Sig.
