Army's new SIGs ejecting live rounds, can't handle standard ball ammo.

Sig keeps proving they don't know how to make reliable firearms anymore. They have their hands in every facet of the firearm industry from guns, to ammo, to optics, to suppressors...maybe they should focus on making guns that don't fire when they fall and can function on FMJs.

Color me surprised that another Sig is a POS.

 

[Mgderf]

No Sig for me!

....including firing accidentally if a shooter dropped the gun, ejecting live ammunition,....

I stopped when I read this immaculate manifestation.

Again - "ejecting live ammunition".... just let that absorb for a moment shall we.

Sig just seems to need to put out a dozen new models a year in every pattern and color scheme known to man.
Maybe they should go back to making good, solid, guns. Seems like it's been awhile since they did that.

Not sure what you are getting at. What I imagine they are describing is the guns are ejecting rounds straight from the mag at the same time an empty case is being ejected. Sounds like a mag problem, like the feed lips are too open or something like that.

Maybe....I dunno....read the article before rolling your eyes?

Testing also revealed that the handguns had a propensity to eject a live round along with the empty cartridge case during normal functioning. There was no indication that this issue caused any malfunctions, such as “stove-piping,” which generally involves empty casing ending up jammed in place, typically sticking up from the ejection port.

In on one

I want to say sig will figure it out, but theyre making it hard.

I was eventually going to buy a 320 just to have one. But I guess when I finally venture away from glocks I'll go M&P

My working theory is that Sig shipped .40 mags and that's why live 9mm ammo goes flying out randomly.

 

[Falschirmjaeger]

Seems incredible that these issues weren't noted during the selection/competition.

I have a P320, and I've never noticed that it ejected live rounds or even heard of that happening until now.

My Sig Mosquito fail to fire 75% of CCI 40 grain 22s.
Returned to Sig for repairs, I had to pay all costs.
Sig told me that I need to use a special German CCI 40 grain.

i believe this is the report the author is writing about.

I find it interesting that the XM17 went 708 MRBS and the XM18 went 950 MRBS when the shooter induced failure to lock the slide back stoppages were excluded from results. Those are not impressive numbers for modern handguns.

You didn't have a Sig with a Mosquito, you had a GSG made .22 with Sig's name on it (like the "Sig" 1911 .22). Sig dropped it cause the Mosquito always sucked. GSG imports them now as the Firefly and allegedly the reliability has went up.


I'm curious why these 320s are having issues. Bad batch of extractors, short throated chambers, idk, hopefully they figure it out quickly. I had a 320 for a short time but got rid of it, did not like being ran suppressed one bit so ditched it in favor for hammer guns to run a can on

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

I say we should all run out and buy 365s right now.

Trying to stay ahead of the curve, aren't we... double

Sig Sauer is engraved all over it. They MADE THE PROFIT ON IT. They are responsible for their product.

How could such things not be caught in the testing phase?
