the problem is when feeding a round, it feeds 90% of the way into the breech and jams..to the point where I can not eject the round by racking the slide...it won't move... to clear I have to pull the slide while putting a dowel down the barrel and hammering it.. sent it back to sig once...they put 50 rounds of Lawman (9mm0 through it with no problems and retuned it...I put 250 rounds of lawman through it with no problem ...but it then jammed with Winchester white box FMJ, remington UMC FMJ, and Winchester JHP no cheap crap. talking to Sig again and they are puzzled

does anyone here have an idea what the problem is

Have you tried using a different magazine?

90% in to jam doesnt sound like a mag issue to me. Thats even past the point of a typical 3 point jam. It sound to me like a short chamber possibly. But this is a SWAG without seeing it. Any marks left on the round?

Ihave two elites, one in 9mm and one in .40 and I have never had an issue. I wonder if it's just a winchester ammo issue.

 

have you tried federal ammo?

use the other mag it came with, does it stil happen?

it jams with both mags,, havent tried federal ammo but it did jam with 3 different types of ammo..and i did not look real close for marks on the rounds that jammed..will give that a try thanks for the input ..sig customer service person is going to talk to the head gunsmith and get back to me

 

 

thanks for all the input

Bottom line is, I think there is an issue. I have several sig's and this has never happened. I would ask for a call tag and get it shipped back.

The pistol is malfunctioning, I don't know what there is to talk about or get back to you about. They should give you a shipping label so you can send it to them for warranty service.

My 226 is 100% reliable and has never jammed with any tpye of ammo. There's close to 2K rounds through it. It needs to go back to Sig and be fixed.

thanks for the replies..it went off to Sig today..they are so far doing what they should be doing...let you know the outcome

sig has always been good with me. i had a p229 classic 22 with some minor issues and they fixed them both no charge and quick too. great customer service. they'll figure it out, eventually.
