Mine is very finicky regarding ammo and jams relatively frequently. It's also no target pistol; my Ruger MkII is both easier to shoot and more accurate. That said, I also own a P229, and find the Mosquito a great and inexpensive way to simulate the use of the larger auto. I like mine with reservations.

I've read a lot of mixed reviews. But I bought one anyway. The first 200 rounds through it were Mini-Mags as suggested in the paperwork that comes with it. However, if I was restricted only to Mini-Mags I'd have been pretty unhappy. So far I'v had one FTF and that was the very first round of Mini-Mags, no reason why. But I've shot Thunderbolts, Winchester Power Points, CCI Blazers, and some other Remington plated stuff and no problems. I've had a few duds but that's been the ammo and not the Mosquito. So I'm pretty happy with mine. Extra magazines have  become pretty hard to come by. So enjoy it, I do mine.

Thanks i have learned that the magazines are hard to find..my gun came with a lighter spring to shoot cheaper ammo havent tried that yet.

I havent had any problems yet

My eldest son in Ma. has one and don't remember him saying he's had any problems with it? .22s are known for being finiky with different ammos. I guess you can't please everyone?

Shot my Mosquito Sport for the first time today and I am very pleased. Accurate and functined well. 250 mini-mags, 200 Federal HV Wal-mart Value Pack, and 50 Remmington Golden Bullets. 1 fte and 2 ftf's.  3 minor malfunctions for a break in of 500 rounds is good IMO. The 3 malfunctions were close to the end when the pistol was getting dirty also.I had one ftf on the first strike with the Federals but a second strike in DA and it went bang. I had a blast.
I left the range and went to Wal-Mart and bought 2 more Federal 550 packs for $13.00 a piece. Much more economical than the $6.86 per 100 I paid for the CCI and is just as accurrate and I can't tell the difference when I pull the trigger. Not knocking CCI I know they make a quality product just not woth the $ difference IMO,not for my Mosquito any way. I am glad I a not limited to the expensive ammo.

The trigger felt a little gritty but seemed to smooth out or I just got used to it. The 12 lb DA trigger works great for safety but is so heavy and long its not accurate for me.

I have one on layaway ,have heard good and bad reviews ,the newer ones have had the bugs worked out i hope. Guess i will have to be my own judge .Will clean it and then go to the range for 500 rounds ,sounds fun .

etex, your ftf are probably not your gun's fault but the lack of priming material in the shells, IMO?
