Default Re: Spikes tactical .22 conversion kit or Sig Mosquito

I have two Mosquitos (1 Sport; 1 just the standard basic version). I love them both. Bought the Sport new nearly three years ago and initially experienced the widely lamented issues (FTL, FTF, FTE, etc.) with various ammo brands I experimented with. Finally settled on CCI MiniMags (36 and 40 gr solid nose) with the white spring. All I do is keep it clean and shoot it wet. After many thousands of trouble-free rounds, I enjoy shooting it every chance I get. The second fell into my hands when its first owner loudly procalimed his disgust with it and dumped it for a song. I just cleaned it up, broke it in properly and now put many thousands of rounds through it without issues of any kind; in fact I've added the bridge and a red dot. I bought and use both for muscle memory and shooting practice in place of my P228 and P229 "carry" pieces. As long as they're kept relatively clean, well lubricated and are fed ammo they like, they're just flat fun to shoot...and a lot easier to reassemble than Rugers.
