My new Sig P938 is ejected live rounds. The gun is new, bought it last month, it has a total of 700 rounds through it. Today I ran 100 rounds through the gun, using 2 different magazines, each loaded with 6 rounds every time. On 5 occasions, after shooting 5 rounds, the slide locked to the rear and the gun was empty. I found a live round on the ground each time.
During one of the cycles, a live round is being ejected with the spent casing. But since it goes bang again with each trigger pull, I'm guessing it must be the last round in the magazine that gets ejected, because I can't imagine it happens in the middle of a magazine and still loads the next round in addition to the one that got ejected.
It stumped the gunsmith at my LGS today, where I was shooting it.
I was thinking magazine lips or springs, but it happens with 2 magazines and they are both new. I borrowed a new 3rd magazine from the gun store, and twice, on the last round of the magazine, this is what I got:
I just got it back from Sig yesterday, because it wouldn't feed hollow points. They polished the feed ramp and now it feeds HPs with no problem. Sounds like it needs to go back to the factory again.....
