P220 Help!!!!

[awatarius]

Hello,

I have my first firearm I got almost a year ago. I have used in a few times. The first time I used it I had Remington 45 full metal jackets.. In 5 clips it jammed once. I went to fire it a week ago with Hornady Hollow Points and pulled the trigger "click" nothing... I played with it for a bit and found out it tried to put another bullet in the chamber while one was already there causing a jam. Cleared it and it fired. Who and what should I do to figure out this jamming issue? It doesn't happen often but too often for my liking in a life or death situation.

Thanks,
Matthew

Have you tried different magazines?

(Personally, I've never had a SIG jam. I'm sure it happens. I've just never experienced it.)

first clean it well, second you may need a new extractor. not a huge deal.

My advice would be to shoot it some more in an effort to narrow down the cause, whether it be a bad magazine, broken extractor, or something else.

From there you can decide on how to fix it, and if fixing it will make you confident in it once more.

I've had to do this once before also: https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...l_205_low_light_techniques-2.html#post1500785 (post #64)

Good advice^^. Question; older style P220 with internal extractor, or newer version with external extractor? If the former, look for marks on the rim of the case where the extractor claw is slipping off before fully extracting the case. If you see those the most likely problem is the tension of the extractor needs adjusted, or you can replace it.
