Hi all...need some advice/guidance. Bought the wife a Sig P238 a few years ago. Took it to the range once and when I got home and cleaned it, I lost a "spring". Calling Sig, they informed me it was the safety detent plunger. Before I sent it in, they sent me another one and suggested I install myself. That didn't go so well, so I took it to my local gun shop. They wouldn't install/work on the gun stating they didn't want to be responsible for a safety issue. So...off to another shop who tried twice to fix/install the part...fail. Anyway, I know I can send it in but wanted to see if the collective wisdom of the forum could help out...either with a link to a video showing the install, or to a reputable smith in South Florida who could assist. Failing that, I am open to getting a new handgun for the wife...any suggestions? Thanks in advance! | ||

So it sounds like you flipped the safety lever up with the slide off. If I am not mistaken, that is how that typically happens.. I am pretty sure there are youtube videos on how to install that spring.. Give it a try.. If you are not comfortable doing it yourself.. Just send it in .. ______________________________ Retired Navy RM/ITC(SW) 1982-2002 USS Edward McDonnell (FF-1043) Mayport FL USS Pegasus (PHM-1) Key West FL. USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) Bremerton WA.

Thank you! It had been awhile since I searched the topic, but tried again earlier this morning and I found one that points me in the right direction. I'm off to call Sig to get the parts re-sent! I appreciate the quick and helpful response! | |||

Next time work inside a large zip lock bag. Then if the plunger goes AWOL it can't get far.  | |||

Glad you finally got it fixed. You are not the only person to have a apring go flying. Hunted my share of them around my work space. 美しい犬 | |||
