The day my Sig died

[Brad69]

So I ventured to the range on Saturday to practice running drills drawing from concealment. Everything was going ok my accuracy was not up to where I wanted to be.
Then I squeezed the trigger hammer fell nothing happened? It did fire on the second strike I thought well maybe it’s just a bad round. Switched ammo from Remington to CCI fire a few more drills. Then “click” again fired on the second strike. Check the brass yep light primer strikes.
So my faithful Sig P250C failed me after over 3000 rounds without a single malfunction. Sending back to Sig for repairs. This pistol is my primary EDC so it’s kinda unnerving when it goes down.
Moral of the story run your EDC on a regular basis or don’t be surprised when it goes click instead of bang!

I bet it goes off when you drop it!

Ouch!

 

[Brad69]

Nope 250 is DAO just looks like a 320 completely different firing system you can drop all day.

 

[cordex]

Nope 250 is DAO

Yours is DOA.

 

[Bigtanker]

Yours is DOA.

Ouch.

Better the gun than him.

Why I stress having multiple copies of the guns you like.

QFT...

Two plus of every "tool gun" and Lord knows how many K 22's....Just because they are elegant and perfect......

Sounds like maybe a sear spring. I had the same failure on my P226. Similar symptoms. If I had investigated further, I could have repaired myself in 30 mins or less, but it was too new to mess with at the time. (Also about 3,000 rounds)

No, the moral of the story is, have more than one of your EDC guns! A failure due to parts breakage would not leave you in the lurch while your primary was being repaired.


ETA:Kirk already relayed the real moral of the story.

 

[halfmileharry]

Is your 250 one of the ones that had trouble with light strikes?
IF memory serves me correct some 250s had that same issue right out of the box. My memory is a bit cloudy 'cause it didn't affect me directly.

 

[Fordtough25]

I can't believe a Sig p250 still exists, I thought they melted them all into p320 slides or something. Yowza!!!!

 

[Brad69]

Half mile
It’s one of the “revised” versions they were supposed to fix all of the issues from the early versions?

Yes Ford Tough the 250 still lives I don’t really care for striker fired pistols.

How do you tell if it is the gun? I bought a batch of ammo recently. My Sig would not fire them first strike at all, second strike would every time.

 

[Brad69]

I tried two different types of ammo and got light strikes with both.

I can agree with this. That's why at all possible I have more than one pistol. I would assume a spring kit for the whole gun wouldn't hurt anything.

 

[GuiGui]

I means the sig QC dropped a lot. my friends sig p226 braked trigger after about 200rd.....

 

[croy]

Ouch. Can't believe it only lasted 3000 rounds.

The best spare parts are another identical gun. The parts are prepackaged in a handy carrying case that also shoots.
