I handled a GSG5 pistol at the gun show over the weekend and was suprised at how much it weighed for a .22lr.My dad has a .22 ruger thats pretty accurate. Most fun to shoot though has been the gsg5 I got from a gunshow for $460. I have the carbine but there is a pistol version as well.
Not just any CCI ammo. You need to get the hot stuff that is 1,300 fps or better.Heres the low down...
Mosquito
Pros: good gun, accurate, full frame (comfortable with big hands)
cons: just about only works with CCI ammo. Sig themselves will tell you this if you call them, most all other ammo jams.
What is the point of buying a 22 that only takes 1 ammo and its pricey? When I experienced the mosquito I was disappointed, complete deal killer.Not just any CCI ammo. You need to get the hot stuff that is 1,300 fps or better.
I thought I had some in my safe, but I guess I'm out...... (makes note to buy more ammo)...
Actually the Sig will eat any hot ammo. As long as it is at least 1,300 fps or better it will work. I have used other "hot" brands in mine and it works fine.What is the point of buying a 22 that only takes 1 ammo and its pricey?

I was at the range last weekend and the gentleman next to me had a few hot rounds, and he said he could only get aguila and cci to work, and only cci was completely dependible. What other ammo does work in the mosquito?Actually the Sig will eat any hot ammo. As long as it is at least 1,300 fps or better it will work. I have used other "hot" brands in mine and it works fine.
I threw away the empty boxes and I just can't remember what it was... Sorry.. Shit happens when you get old.....:tongue:I was at the range last weekend and the gentleman next to me had a few hot rounds, and he said he could only get aguila and cci to work, and only cci was completely dependible.

I wonder if a slightly weaker spring and some good lube on the rails would fix the issue.Actually the Sig will eat any hot ammo. As long as it is at least 1,300 fps or better it will work. I have used other "hot" brands in mine and it works fine.
Possibly.I wonder if a slightly weaker spring and some good lube on the rails would fix the issue.
