My wife has a Sig 290 .380 that is fairly new: only between 100 and 200 rounds through it. I shot it yesterday with two types of hardball ammo and it was terrible: failed to go into battery virtually every round with Herter's and 1 in 3 with Magtech. It was fairly clean and dry at the start. I put some lube on it and it didn't do any better wet.
It hadn't been fired in over a year. I don't remember this being such a problem before, but maybe different brands of ammo were used then. The only thing I can guess in a quick examination is that the mag lips are a bit burry, maybe. I'll probably try to polish them a little, but I'm tempted to forget the whole thing and get an LCP II to replace it. The only thing I like about the Sig is the long DAO trigger pull for reducing the risk of an AD, but at this point it's worse than no gun at all!
