I know the answer to this question already, but I thought putting it here might help somebody out later on. And have some fun figuring it out. About the gun. It was bought brand new. It only ever had sig 100gr .380 ammo fired from it. Approximately 350 rds when the problem started. Was always ran wet.
Add ons I did myself were laser,(under frame attached to trigger guard), hogue rubber grips. Lgs added a set of new sights made by speed sights. What started happening: load a fresh magazine release slide catch pistol would go to full battery. Click. Press checked,rnd is in chamber. Manually cock the hammer and pull the trigger, bang. I removed the mag ran the slide manually a few times everything seemed fine. This time I load the mag pulled the slide and pistol went into battery. Pulled the trigger. Click. Recocked the hammer manually, bang. I brought it home took it apart cleaned and oil the snot out of it. Didn’t see anything out of whack. Took it back to range. Loaded mag released the slide...click, cocked the hammer manually, click. Now it’s just putting light primer strikes on the rounds. Tried 4 more rds, no joy and had the light strikes. Sent it to sig for repair...got it back today. What was wrong with this pistol?

When I read the report I thought that as well, they surely didn’t have to do that. That spring is sitting somewhere on my lgs work bench. I do wonder how it fired at all becoming progressively worse each time.
