    Well, I would offer to let you shoot both, but I'm afraid I wont be able to get to the range this weekend. I'd Go P22, Buckmark, then Sig last.

    My life loves her P22. I shoot it occasionally but she has put about 1000 rounds through it. We have had one failure to feed and one failure to eject using cheap 550 bulk from Wal-Mart. Not a single problem with Mini Mags. I got it from Florida Gun exchange for $279 w/free shipping not to long ago.

    I'm also a member of the www.sigforum.com . Even people who're huge fans of sig have a tough time liking the Mosquito. I don' t own one. But on that forum they say buy either the Buckmark or the Ruger first. I have no opinion on the Walther.

    i dont know if this helps,or matter in your choice,but i bought it for my daughter who is 7,,she can work the slide,load and drop the mag and work the safety,with no issues,its small enough for her hands but big enough for mine to shoot comfortably and not feel like a toy.....only down side is it only comes with 2 mags

    I love my mosquito. They redid the pistol about 10 months ago. The new version starts with serial number F. Old vs is A. 299$ at academy with 1 mag. Academy sells SIG brand mags for 29$.
    I also have the p22 but I like the sig better.

    I went shoot my p22 and this happened once or twice in 3 mags with the cheap bulk pack but with the more expesive ammo I didnt have any problems. Other then the cheap ammo not ejecting a few times, I have not had any other problems.

    yea i shoot a lot of block ammo and its maybe a round or so out of a couple hundred that fail to eject properly,,and you can tell when it pops off its the ammo not a fire arm malfunction

    I dont think I have had 1 malfunction with my P22, and I shoot a LOT of the Fed Bulk pack from wal-mart out of it. There has been a few times that it has not locked the slide on the last round, but no FTF/FTE's. Cannot say the same for the Sig.
