I have the 238 and 938. My 238 is perfection! My 938, however, jams at least 3 or 4 times per 50 rounds at the range. Sometimes it feels like the magazine does not fully fit in place. There is definitely a difference with the 238. Also, I seem to be getting some metal wear on the slide. I clean this gun every time after the range. I probably (tried) to shoot 600 or so rounds through the 938. Quite frustrating. (The 238 has had 2000-3000 rounds or so with no mechanical errors or wear. Suggestions?

Call Sig Customer Service and send it back.

If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

I suggest that SIG Pistols would be a better place than The Lounge for this thread.
Edit: I see that’s where it is now. Good move.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Pipe Smoker,

I have 2 P938's. Both had failure to feed occasionally, often with HST's. Instead of sending them back I polished the feed ramp and started shooting them. After about 750 rounds each they became extremely reliable. They both have a few thousand rounds on them now and I lent one to a friend for a couple weeks because he wanted his wife to shoot it for a while. He and his wife shot hundreds of rounds through it and never had a failure.
Regarding the mag, I have not had that issue but I tend to pound the mags in pretty good when changing.

What ammunition are you shooting in the P938, factory or reloads?

Since a magazine is critical to feeding, this could be related. If you have more than one mag, maybe it is only one causing the problem. Devise some method of ID-marking them and see if your misfeeding only happens with a particular one.

Had mine at the range this week. 100 rounds and all perfect. At the beginning I had the same problem. Sent it to sig and they replaced the mags and the mag release button and spring. No problems since. I also polished the feed ramp and do so every few cleaning. Mine is a SAS stainless.

My 938 eats everything in 9mm or 22LR I've thrown at it. 22 suppressed gets dirty quickly, but the only issue I get is gritty trigger. Check mags first, then call sig.
