Sig p250

[spacelegged]

I have a sig p250 that has about 600-700 rounds fired thru it. i went target shooting yesturday and noticed the slide wasnt staying cocked back after the last round was fired. Is this a common thing for sigs? Are the springs weak and not last long or is it another possible problem?

Are you using aftermarket magazines by chance?

 

[spacelegged]

no, just the one that came with it.

Is it a .40 cal by chance? And how recently did you purchase it? Some of the earlier models of .40 were having slide catch issues but I think they fixed it. If you call Sig about it I think they're pretty good about fixing them quickly for free. I personally have never had a problem with mine, but it's a 9mm, and I think the issues were with the early production .40s.

Here's a link to a thread all about it.

Has your grip changed?

When I get a failure to lock back, it's almost always one of my thumbs in the way of the slide lock.

What happens when you rack the slide on an empty mag? It stay back then?

Might very well be a weak slide-stop spring...or possibly a weak magazine spring.

Also worth a check of your mag followers to see that it's engaging the slide-stop properly.
