Confidence lost in my sig.

Recommended Posts

Sounds like you have a limp wrist and grip problem. You might have asked one of the range masters at Shore Shot to check you Sig out. They are exceptionally good dependable firearms

do not give up on your 229.

I agree..Sigs need a firm grip..limp wristing in a sig will dissipate the recoil needed to cycle the action..the slide needs to move, not your hands/arms..I have a P229 in 9mm as well as 40 s&w both flawless and both very well made..long extractors..both have well over 3500 rounds to date through them..P238 and P220 all perfect with various brands/type ammo..I did settle on Speer Lawman 165gr for range and Speer Gold Dot 165grain for SD..There was a problem with some SAS models 40 s&w recently but found to be over machined slides not long extractors.

I disagree on the limp wrist idea. Unless the shooter is riding the slide stop, or holding the pistol daintily between the tips of his fingers, a modern service pistol should lock back on the last round when using decent ammo, period. It is possible a weaker than normal grip is exposing a problem, but something is wrong with the gun. It needs to go to Sig.

 

One other thought, Sig has been known to be using crapola Checkmate magazines lately so trying some quality MecGars might not be a bad idea. A weak magazine spring or bad follower can cause failure to lock back.. You did not mention if the malfunction happens always with the same magazine or not.

 

But frankly for the amount you paid for this thing Sig should figure this out for you.

Well I should be getting my sig back in a day or 2, recieved email Friday night that its been shipped back to me. From 4 to 5 wks that I was told, all done in 1 wk. pretty good.

I just called sig customer service because I was curious to know what they found and I was told

They only adjusted the extractor, they put some rounds thru it and all good.

This weekend I got my 2nd shotgun a Benelli Nova Tactical so I have a good excuse to go to the range this week to test both of them.

I'm glad to hear that Sig made it right for you. I have a P229 Elite in 40 and have never had an issue in any way shape or form. I firmly believe in spending the extra money to have a firearm run thru the factory's custom shop to make it that much better. I hope in the next week or two to pick up a Sig P220 Compact SAS Elite.

    • What's the crime for riding a dirt bike on the street? Most likely a fine, misdemeanor at most. That justifies causing severe bodily injury through use of lethal force by auto?  There is no way to predict that he would have hit anyone, it's more like a 99.9% he wouldn't have hit anyone.  And that was a 2 lane road, not a pedestrian walkway. Hopefully he hires a good lawyer and everyone is held accountable for their actions.
    • Seriously? “Sounds Fishy”? You can’t think of a reason why the cop thought that was going to happen after watching the video? The cops are there after multiple reports/complaints of vehicles in the pedestrian walkway and reports of near misses. The ATV is on a pedestrian walkway where there are not supposed to be any vehicles and is moving at very fast pace. If he couldn’t stop for the police car, what makes you think he could stop in time for a pedestrian. He dynamited the breaks to avoid hitting the car and lost complete control of the ATV. Luckily the mass of the car prevented it from continuing to tumble down the walkway and take out pedestrians like bowling pins. If he had hit the brakes like that to avoid hitting a pedestrian instead of the car, would the ATV not have flipped? What would the now out of control ATV have done to any people in the walkway? Would the first person be hit have enough mass to stop the ATV in its proverbial tracks? I have seen plenty of pedestrians stuck. It is never like the movies. They don’t parkour out of the way of a speeding car - especially when pushing a baby carriage and the vehicle is approaching from the rear in a place where you think you are safe because vehicles are it permitted.

    • Why would he think the ATV rider was going to run over the pedestrians? Were the pedestrians laying in the road? Sounds fishy. A good lawyer will have a field day with this one.
    • If I lived in the hills, (or the burbs with a tall tree) I'd invest in at least one dedicated repeater and a solar based system to power it.  I don't think you need a tremendous amount of battery capacity, as the repeater will be on standby most of the time.  It will only draw serious current when it transmits. I think one could set up a reliable, self sustaining private node for around $1,500, maybe less.   Agree 100%
