I took my new (certified pre-owned) Sig 228 to the range today and had 8 failures in 100 rounds (Winchester white box value pack) with 2 different magazines.
The failures all seem to relate to ejection problems. Six were FTE with the empty case still in the chamber and the next round trying to load on top of the empty case. The other 2 were the slide closing on the empty case before completely ejecting.
The magazine springs seem pretty weak, other than that, I can't see anything obvious that seems wrong with the gun. The ammo seemed fine. Could it be an extractor problem? Any other suggestions?
These failures happened with both supplied magazines.
This is not the performance I expected from my first Sig.
The good news is my new HK P2000sk worked perfectly.
Thanks.
