Re: Sig p238 problems

He should have the newest magazine, but it would be good to check. Here's a picture of the three magazine generations - the one on the left is the latest. I had zero luck trying to use an extended Colt Mustang style magazine.

Yeah, then it must be an extractor issue. Sig's service is very good, turnaround time will depend on how busy they are. Sig had ours on the way back in about two weeks but unfortunately they sent it to a gun shop in Anchorage Alaska instead of back to me :headscratch which added an extra couple of weeks to the turnaround time. They sent me a free P238 laser for all of the trouble :thumbs2: .

Re: Sig p238 problems

My wife had issues with FTE when her P238 was new and the problem was limp wristing. Having a proper grip on the little gun is critical. Now we've both put maybe 500-600 rounds each through the Sig and found it to be extremely reliable. We did send it back to Sig early on but the issue was the ejector throwing an occasional casing in the shooter's face.
