Anyone having issues with the magazine locking in when inserted?  I took mine out shooting the other day, third time shooting it, and was having problems with the magazine not wanting to lock in at all.

Do you have the steel, or the plastic mags?

Mine are steel and I've had zero problems.

I'm not positive but I believe that the plastic mags are for the newer Mosquito's

My brother's Mosquito works fine, no mag or function issues when I've used it through 400-450 rounds. Not sure how many rounds he's put through it aside from that, but he hasn't mentioned anything.

I just bought one for the wife a few weeks ago and I got a steel mag. No problem with it locking in either.

Have the steel magazine with it.  I took the grip plates off of it to see if I could find anything wrong with it.  THe black tab on the other side of the magazine release was sticking out some, so i pushed  it in and tried holding it in all the way while I put the magazine in.  Seems to have fixed the problem.  So i put the panels back on and cranked the one on the right side down so it wouldn't let the tab get loose again.

Makes sense.

The Sigs use the grips to hold some of the parts in place.

I've had zero problems/issues with my threaded barrel model Mosquito. It runs fine and I use Federal Bulk Pack ammo.....

Or try one of these.  I have the one in silver.  Reasonably accurate and very reliable.
I should add I have a P226 and love it.
