4x5New P365 magazine won't hold slide open
I bought a new Sig P365 on Saturday along with 2 new Sig factory 10rd magazines (my gun only came with one 12rd magazine and a voucher for 2 more). Two of the magazines hold the slide back when racking the slide. The third only holds it back about 50% of the time. Will this be a problem? Does Sig warranty their magazines, or do I just need to buy a spring kit and fix it myself?

rockchalk06If it's factory, Sig will take care of it. I'd start by taking the mag apart and making sure everything looks normal.

monoblok^^^^^This. It's a new mag used in a new gun; SIG certainly will take care of the problem.

Good suggestion. I took the mag apart and put it back together the same way, and the problem seems to be fixed.

I would also go as far as putting a mark on that mag to separate it from the others. Run them like normal at the range and see if the problem persists. It may have just the spring wasn't set perfectly in either the follower or insert not allowing the follower to sit as high as it was supposed to engage the slide stop and hold it open.
Glad it worked out for you. Just know that Sig will take care of you if it acts up again. Unfortunately, I have had to send 3 weapons to them over the last 5 years. Fortunately, each and every time they fixed the problems on their dime (including shipping) and were pretty cool to deal with.

I've found identifying magazines to be a great use of all the junkmail address labels that pile up over time.
