Hunting buddy of mine has a sig misquito. Threaded for suppressor and gun will not eject any rounds , high velocity or sub sonic with the suppressor. It came with two springs and both will not work. Any idea how to get it to work?

    Try firing the gun upside down.... no seriously. Just see what happens. I recall reading somewhere about the weight of a suppressor on the barrel of a handgun can cause it to malfunction as the barrel needs to come or point up as the back goes down out of battery so the slide can move rearward ejecting the spent case.

    Maybe clip a few coils off one of the springs?

    Try CCI mini mags and see if it works. it might need the extra power. If not, ditch the gun and get a Walther P22.

    The supressor may be diverting the gasses and causing a weak recoil impulse so that the slide is not going back with sufficient energy. If this is the case the slide spring needs to be reduced in weight.

    Have you tried putting the question to someone on silencer talk...it is a forum dedicated to the subject of suppressors. There is a section by suppressor manufacturer...a section by rimfire pistol...I would ask my question there too.

    Try Stingers, if they don't cycle your slide properly, you have a problem that Sig neeeds to address.
