dobie 0 Posted May 9, 2014 I have the 238 & 938, I love the looks of the mini "1911" style I understand there were some early problems with failure to feed and failure to eject. Did you have any of that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackDaWack 2,895 Posted May 9, 2014 I love my P938.... i would seriously consider it over the .380 There were some reports of feeding failures... I havent had an issues with mine, but it's newer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bhunted 887 Posted May 9, 2014 I'm also in the market for a 938.... I think and don't quote me on this. They recommend a higher grain bullet. Not the typical 115gr. Maybe some other Sig owner can confirm. Sent from my iPad 2 using T2 Pro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackDaWack 2,895 Posted May 10, 2014 There is no mention of it in the manual.. I have noticed something different with the way it feeds and i havent had this happen with other pistols.. If you remove a loaded magazine, the next bullet to feed is actually not in the magazine and falls out the magwell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you look into why it does that? Sent from my iPhone using TT 2 Pro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackDaWack 2,895 Posted May 10, 2014 I'm not entirely sure why it does it, but you can hear it pop out of the mag when you hit the release button. Now, it hasn't effected performance, it's just a PITA when unloading it.. It only happens if the slide is closing on a loaded mag. It doesn't happen if i load the mag on a closed chamber. The bullet must be pushed forward im assuming just enough that the magazine cant retain it when its dropped. I never looked into it, but it seems to be common.
