Newbie question re P938
I'm very familiar with 1911s in general, but when I first went to the range with the new Sig i had four failure to loads in the first forty shots. the ammo was Remington 124 grain hollow points. Did I under lubricate it, or is this pistol sensitive to certain ammo?

Need more information.

Did it fail to feed when you first loaded or was it in the middle of strings? What position(s) were the rounds? Did you clean and lube prior to shooting? Did you mark magazines and see if it only happened with a certain one?

6 round or 7 round magazines?

There were some older 938 7 round magazines that were giving people fits.




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.

Failed to feed in the middle of strings. Was clean as a whistle prior to shooting, and I'm honestly not sure if I overlubricated it. It did happen with only one 7 round mag, so I will try the other mag. What practice ammo should I be using?

My P938 has consumed all kinds of ammo. I typically stick with 124 grain FMJ for practice, and Federal 124 grain HST's for carry.
