I do like Sig pstols, they seem dependable and trustworthy and they are accurate which is always a bonus. I can see I will need a Sig fix soon.

The SIG Mosquito has a fixed barrel so it would be quite possible to fabricate a 12" replacement barrel. They also come threaded so you could weld and pin a ridiculous 8 inch long muzzle brake on there to bring it up to the legal length (plus a wrist brace or similar to get the overall length up). However, as with most of these new .22s that are springing up, it's not really made by the company whose name it bears. It's really a GSG sold under the SIG name so you won't see anything like the quality on an old school P220.

I like the way Sig's shoot and their looks, but not how high up in the hand they sit. Of course as Roger says we are not worthy to own such a firearm so its all academic :roll: I'm going on holiday to Malta in a few months and hope to get into a pistol range while i'm there :-P
