You said, "I just got home. I looked at my P238 and it has a flat spring that is asymmetrical." What did you mean by "asymmetrical?"

Sorry, I meant symmetrical. They are the same on both ends. From the photos posted by others, the older P238 spring had a front and back.

Started with 50 rounds of PMC 95 grain FMJ. Perfect firing. Got my hope up.

Followed with 50 rounds of Winchester 95 grain FMJ. After about 25 rounds, still perfect.

Then I had two failure to ejects just like before, including one on round 47 of the Winchester box.

Recap:
150 rounds of PMC 95 grain FMJ with 4 FTE
50 rounds of Fiocchi 95 grain FMJ with 3 FTE
50 rounds of Winchester 95 grain FMJ with 2 FTE
25 rounds of Remington Golden Sabre 102 grain JHP with 2 FTE

Total: 275 rounds with 11 FTE.

I'm taking it back to the LGS tomorrow and see what they can do before I send it back to Sig. If they offer me a refund, I'll likely take a refund. Even if someone fixes it now, I will find it difficult to trust this gun as my wife's self defense weapon.

Bummer, because it is a fun and easy gun to shoot.

Is there a visible difference between the original spring and the "updated" spring?

I asked Sig customer service guy and he told me that there is only one spring for the P238. I asked about a flat spring that others have referred to, and he said there is no such thing for the P238.
