Jamming issues seems to have been corrected this past year with the change of the recoil spring from the round wire to the flat wire. Sig is sending those free to anyone who requests it. I put 200 rounds through and had one misfeed during break-in. Another issue that Sig has corrected that could cause jamming issues, is that a previous design of the magazines, was eating up the feed ramp, causing ammo to jam on the scarring. A third generation of magazine is out that has corrected this (which Sig replaces also when requested). I had googled various reviews of the gun, and any issue I had read about was prior to this year. Since then, it has received stellar reviews. Sounds like Sig will keep tweaking a gun till they get it right.
Do you know if Sig is still doing this with their recoil spring? If so, how do I obtain one? Call them up?

I never had an issue with jamming or anything of the sort. I had ONE stovepipe when I first got it. After that, no issues to report. I have about 700 rounds through it so far. I really carry this thing everyday now that I think about it. I don't know why I find it adequate enough because I'm not a big fan of the caliber (or 9mm for that matter). Perhaps because it's very small, still has 1911 features and it's a Sig. However if I did have a Kimber Ultra, I'd definitely carry that more than this ANY day. I'm just so much more comfortable with a 45.
