Twas truely a sad moment. The little one too. The P239 didn't manage to grab the rim of a white box .40 round. I really don't know what happend rim out of spec, piece of gunk under the extractor, at any rate it was the first of the SIGs to malf.
Twas a sad day. At any rate I have had thousands of rounds through my 5 SIGs. Not thousands each but thousands total and that is my first malfunction. I almost cried. I knew it was coming, It had to happen, they all malf. from time to time but I almost cried.
In Dave's defense, he DOES NOT keep his guns immaculate.........touche'
That magazine spring was rather FUBAR.
Actually if I was to go buy a Kimber right now it would be the Pro Carry HD stainless that Dave has. I like it better than the more expensive models and my only complaint is the crappy sights, not that they are inhenently bad I just don't like sights without some kind of dot, bar, triangle, hexagon something to contrast with the black. Thank God for white out.
As for fit and finish Kimber seems to be far ahead of SIG especially the blued/nitron guns vs. blued Kimbers.
You know I am going to save up some .45 ammo and take out my P220 and my Colt 1991A1 and run a few hundred rounds through each back to back both HP and ball just to see what happens. I am just curious. My Colt has av very good fit and finish also.
