Beretta 87 Target vs SIG Mosquito Sport

I own both, rather, owned both. I returned the Mosquito after my first range outing (one good thing about being a regular customer at a small store). It jammed, failed to feed, failed to eject, stovepiped, failed to lock the slide on an empty magazine and locked the slide with a magazine with rounds in it. Couldn't see a pattern to the malfunctions and I wasn't able to shoot an entire magazine without some sort of malfunction. The longest string was 6 shots. I put through over 400 rounds of various .22lr that day. Even CCI Mini-Mags didn't work well with it. My 87T has over 10k through it. Not a hiccup from day one. Eats any ammo I put through it. Reasonable accuracy, reliable and fun to shoot. I say reasonably accurate because my Ruger MkII Government Competition is a more accurate pistol in my hands. My Beretta 87T hasn't disappointmented me nor failed me, the Sig Mosquito did both the first time I had it out. YMMV.....
 
Ive got a Mosquito Sport, shot about 2000 rnds through it last winter with very little problem. It was a bit picky about the ammo you fed it, but once I found what it liked it was as reliable as just about any other .22cal Ive shot.

The problems mentioned by misfire, unfortunatly seem to be fairly common.
 
Misfire - was yours a sport or non sport version of the mosquito?

Would one expect much difference between the mosquito sport and non-sport in terms of reliability? I think the main difference seems only to be one inch longer on the sport version.

Mine was the non-sport two-tone version. Nice looking pistol and it felt great in my hands but.........:redface:
