-Mosquito Bite

Got me a new toy today. Against the wishes of my mother and ex girlfriend (not that the latter’s opinion matters much these days) I picked up a SIG Sauer Mosquito Tactical today. She’s a sweet little gun, though I haven’t had a chance to actually shoot her yet, so my opinion of her may be a bit presumptuous. Of course, in SIG’s infinite wisdom they threaded the barrel in metric units, so I had to pony up the dough for a Gemtech thread adaptor to get her to the standard 1/2x28 thread pattern for mounting faux and real suppressors. The shop I picked her up from happened to have a Gemtech Outback II on the shelf so I threaded her on to see how she looked. I gotta admit, the OBII was nice a slim and didn’t interfere with the sight line one bit. Looking at the sights on the Mossy, I noticed they sit high, but not overtly so. To be honest, before I threaded the OBII on there I was trying to budget in my head for some aftermarket sights, assuming that the suppressor that will eventually end up on there would mess up the sight picture. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised.
