Sig Sauer Mosquito - Initial Impressions












The wife and I bought a Sig Sauer Mosquito, really it was for her birthday (early) and kinda for both of us to shoot when we didn't have the cash to shoot 5.56mm.

I am really impressed with the feel of it. It feels like a normal handgun and even though it's 10% smaller than other Sigs it doesn't feel wimpy. I have larger hands and the fit is very comfortable.

Take down is simple and it's easy to clean. We need a few more magazines and a holster would be nice but it's set for now.

Main thing is the ammo. It is indeed picky about what you feed it. I had not one problem with CCI Mini Mags but with Winchester and Federal (both Walmart) I was getting jams, misfeeds, no feeds, stove pipes... so much junk. Not fun.

That's all I got on it for now. I'll try to do a review worthy of Nutnfancy soon!

Training Notes

There is a really great post on The Michael Bane Blog on firearm training. Head over to his blog to read the entire post but here's a little snippet:

"When we talk about "training," we're really talking about training 3 separate components:

• Fundamentals
• Techniques
• Tactics"

Camping in North Carolina

My inlaws have land down south and we all spent some time camping there. The inlaws are no strangers to firearms but they haven't fired an AR-15 before and I thought they would get a kick out of this. So I got 500 rounds from Cabelas (before it got really hard to find) and we burned through 98% of it. But it was worth it, a real fun weekend. Here's some pics and vids.
