The SIG Mosquito is a blowback-operated, semi-automatic pistol based on the SIG Sauer P226, but 10% smaller in size and chambered for the .22LR cartridge. The pistol is manufactured with an aluminum-zinc alloy slide and polymer frame. The controls are similar to those present on full-size models and include (from front to rear) a left takedown lever, a left decocking lever, reversible magazine catch and ambidextrous manual safety. In addition, the pistol is provided with an integral safety lock located at the rear of the magazine well which when enabled prevents cycling of slide, hammer fall and trigger action. The pistol is provided in five different configurations: Standard model, Sport, Threaded barrel, Two-tone, Reversed two-tone and four special editions having different colours.
All models have a Picatinny rail on the dust cover of the frame.

Special Editions:
Along with extra mags and holsters, factory accessories include a polymer bridgemount that makes it possible to mount a red dot sight or other scope accessory. Its Picatinny rail makes it possible to mount lights and/or lasers that are available today.
The standard Mosquito model is chambered in .22 LR and has a double-action/single-action (DA/SA) trigger. Double-action trigger pull is 12.4 lbs while single action is 4.4 lbs. The polymer frame and small size (compared to the SIG P226) allow the pistol with magazine to weigh little more than 24.6 oz. The overall height is 5.3 inches with a barrel length of 3.9 inches. The Mosquito's frame has a Picatinny rail, a ten-round capacity magazine, and adjustable sights.
