Shooting some winchester white box. Slide only went about 90% into battery. There it's stuck. Was able to finally push it rest of way into battery and at least fire the round. That way I'm not putzing around with a live round stuck in chamber.

But its locked up & will only go about 1/2 inch back. Tried cleaning rod from muzzle end with some aggressive pressure. Nothing.

Anyone experienced anything like this? I'm thinking it may have to go back to Sig if I can't come up with a solution.

Try turning the recoil spring rod from the front, it's probably not seated properly.

Have you tried a good solid push/whack against a wood shooting bench or similar(safe direction). I have had to do this a couple times for other folks. Use the muzzle or sights for leverage.

Yeah I put the front of the slide on the work bench and gave it a pretty aggressive few wacks. Hoping maybe just some expanded brass. No go. It's solid.

I'll try working the guide rod as suggested and see if I can get anything to happen there.

I had an X-carry that locked up in battery, after firing, several times. I had to use a bench against the muzzle and push with just about all my weight to clear it.

When I contacted SIG, they were adamant that the pistol be cleared of spent brass before being sent in. SIG replaced the slide assembly and it worked fine after that.

I still haven't messed with it. But it's wearing a romeo optic & Gray Guns x-carry grip. I can't get any of these things off without getting it un-jammed to send back.

Why can't you remove the Romeo1? The mounting screws are on the top of the sight, not inside the slide.

Good point. It's been a while since I put it on. I just remembered removing the back plate with the screws from the bottom side of the slide. Forgot screws went into Romeo from top.

Guess I should get it out of my range back and screw with it some more.

Just remember my motto....

“If it jams....FORCE IT. If it breaks....you needed a new one anyway.”

Good luck. Would love to know the final outcome (why the lockup etc.)

My PPQ jammed up on a case so tight I had to wrap the tip of a punch with a towel an hit it with a mallet. At least you know yours is fired...mine was a live round. That was a lot of fun. It actually came free quickly, just the setup was tedious.
