Suppressors New SIG .22LR pistols

[Mustafa]

Anyone seen or had any experience with the new SIG .22LR pistols? I saw one yesterday at a gunstore in Utah that another customer was taking to the range. He had the P229 model and I was told that the store can order the P226 model as well for about $500. Since I carry a P226 in .40, I was thinking it could be a great training tool to get one in .22LR since ammo is getting so expensive. Same make and model so the interface is the same, but I can shoot a lot more rounds for the same price. I like to dry fire (the price is right!) but its nice to have the reassurance of holes in paper to tell me I"m doing it right!
So, does anyone else have any experience with these? Any thoughts? Worth the coin?

Well, I just picked up a new Sig Mosquito today at a local funshop for $350. Seems like a really nice rimfire and I liked the controls/grip better than the Walther P22 (same price). Now my only question is which can to put on it as I got the threaded barrel model....

Bought the 229 (would have gotten it in 226 if they were in stock) in 22LR, had problems feeding any ammo. 4th round always jammed. Returned to Sig, returned with a new clip. Haven't had a chance to shoot it since. I bought it back in January and it only came with 1 clip...WTF!!!

Had an Mosquito before the 229 and sold it, too ammo particular.

A friend has a AAC pilot and a SIG Misqueto it sounds great.

Typically the Mosquito is a more expensive toy than the P22. I prefer the feel of the Mosquito to that of the P22 but both work ok...
I think you would be better off with a Ruger or Buckmark...I primarily use a YHM Stainless Mite on a pistol...

Re: New SIG .22LR pistols

I shot one a couple of weeks ago. the owner said it liked some ammo better than others. the ammo we had would miss feed and jamb every so often. reminded me of my 22 cal AR. I did like the gun overall..... Some things I didnt like about it were do to the fact I have always been a 1911 guy.

I personally have a 226 22lr and it likes mini-mags and federal auto-match.

These guns will run fine you just have to find which ammo it likes and they usually need a sjight break-in period.
