Another one nobody ever talks about is the Sig SHR 970. Such a great rifle. I have one in .270 that is my deer rifle and it is an absolute treat!!

I set out to buy one some years ago; found a couple on CalGuns but deals fell through. I found myself with a wood stock and maybe another barrel, I forget. A .270 would have been my preference.

I think the Mosquitos got thrown and cussed so often no one probably has one by now

I have a Mosquito that jams often enough. I'll never send it back for repair, nor will I sell it! Why?

It's an excellent pistol to teach pistol problems: failure to feed, failure to eject, stovepipes, etc. Being a .22, most students will quickly learn how to clear a malfunction safely without the headache of a large caliber, stiff slides, etc.

Look on the bright side of a malfunctioning pistol if you're an instructor!!!

Put me down as one wanting a SigForum bumper sticker!!

We shoot our Mosquito almost every weekend! Couldn’t even estimate the round count, it’s high, runs like a top with MiniMags.

What about the first edition, fish gilled, Sig 556?! Circa 2009?

I was able to trade around and get a P226 that was made in 22lr from Sig.

It has a UU serial, so I didn't think I'd see another if I passed on it. I haven't.

I purchased my fish gill Sig 556 in 2007. I actually just took it out a couple weeks ago again to sight in the scope I put on it. Also, I have a P224 in .40.

Sold off my Mosquito years ago. Don't need or want any gun that rivals a lowball Jennings as an example on how badly a company can bugger up the concept of reliability.

I've owned my 970 for about a decade now; in fact the pittance I got from the sale of my Mosquito went towards that purchase. It's been a fine shooting gun but I've been looking for the .30-06 barrel for this one (it's got a .270 now), but the few examples I've come across over recent years had asking prices nearly as much as I paid for the rifle itself.

I have both the 4" and 6" Trailsides; I came across the 4" first, then a good friend sold me his then-unfired 6" a little while later. Lovely shooting guns, but I admit that they haven't been shot much lately, particularly after picking my M41.

Does anyone have the SSG 3000? I recall that rifle didn't stay in production very long.

SIG P226 X5 Midnight - Only three were manufactured - Do not know of any member owning one

SIG P226 X6 Midnight - Only seven were manufactured - I think member 12131 owns one of these

SIG P226 Facettes - Only twelve were manufactured and I think member 12131 owns the first prototype made.

Commercially available firearms SIG made, that have not been discussed on this forum are:

- Steyr Mannlicher M1894 self loading pistol
- SIG Chylevski
- "Neuhausen" M1938 self loading pistol aka 9mm SIG-Petter

Ther might be anonymous visitors of this forum who own them, but might not be interested showing them or talking about it. who knows.

I just saw a P224 in 9mm at my LGS. I never heard of such a thing.

You are definitely a glass half full kind of guy.

If anyone is looking for one.

I own a sig P224 .40 SAS model and never had a problem with it. Yet.

Although I wish I could find a mag with a pinky extension. They are pretty scare...never seen one come up for sale.

I had an Sig SSG3000 that was an import from Germany with the laminated wood stock and also had the factory .22LR conversion kit. Sold it off a while back. Haven't seen one with the same stock since then

Can't be that many guys with P290s.

Eww.

Honestly, I have never heard of the P290.

I was about to ask if anyone has a German P250 instead.

Thinking there may be a few P220s with BDA serials, but I've never heard of a BDA with a Sig serial.

Have any of us seen such a thing?

I have a P290, still carry it now and again. My Mauser (SIG) M2 in .40 is what led me here years ago; it still gets a little bedside pistol duty.

I wanted a 290 when it came out! But handling one when they came out cured me. he one in the gun shop was a POS. Had to wigle the magazine to get it to seat!
