How does this compare to the Sig Sauer Mosquito?
Anybody have any issues or malfunctions when it comes to ammo? This one doesn’t seem to like federal.

I have the Firefly in FDE with the threaded barrel. I have to say, this is a fun gun to plink with. It is ammo sensitive, so make sure you use high velocity ammo in it. You can use standard velocity, but you need to change the spring out with the spare one that comes with it. The quality is excellent too.

Good Information. Thanks for quickly showing us how to disassemble /assemble this weapon. I appreciate the info on the safety features. You did miss the most important safety feature there is. You did not clear and inspect the chamber before takedown. Most of the demonstration videos I have come across by everyday people leave that out. While to some it’s common knowledge, but for a 1st time buyer that has no formal training and just wants to get some fast knowledge, missing that step can be very costly. The first rule when touching a firearm should be clearing and inspecting chamber. Otherwise this video was very informational. Thank you for that.

I had a Mosquito a while back, it was good etc. And only today I learned that the GSG Firefly exists and is a clone of that. This will be a super cool present for my 11 yo son this Christmas. Great video.

DC great question. I think a lot of people forget that there is an extra spring that comes with the Firefly. In my case however it was the ammo. One brand that my gun hates in particular is Aguila. On the other hand, it loves bulk ammo, Federal, Remington etc. One other issue for my gun is that it really needs to be kept clean. It's not hard to find negative comments about the Firefly but personally I really like it, fun to shoot and fairly accurate, even at distance.

@@zackstanderfer3406 I hated this gun at first too because it jammed or ftf on me constantly. Then I learned the original spring is made for higher velocity 22’s. Switch the spring and you’re good to go with the ammo you were already using. I’d still recommend getting Aguila 22’s for that high velocity spring because they’re fun to shoot. That’s what I’m gonna use with the silencer too. Maybe clean the mag off again for that sticking issue?

I rarely shoot this gun, however now I have the mag falling out after I fire it. I have also noticed that I can pull on the mag and it will come out without hit hitting the release button. Any suggestions on how to fit this ? ( and yes, I have tried other mags. )

Junk scrap metal is all they are. My Ruger Mark I is ten times the pistol, and it is 50 years old. It rarely ever fails. My two GSG Fire flys failed the first time I used them , I even sent one back to the manufacturer it comes back still screwed up. Don't buy , Not worth any money if they don't work.
