| Did you contact Sig's customer service? Have you thought about the Sig Custom Shop's Full Service Package? They might be able to resolve the issue that way.

That is good news, perhaps I will break even when I sell it. It really is a nice pistol, but I wish the magazine release was secure. |

Old one cut?
Is that easy to replace? That is a good point, the assembler may have cut a coil or two off the spring. It is pretty whimpy! The M11-A1 magazine release is strong and has perhaps twice the spring of the 225. |

Thanks for the idea, I have used this service before. Trouble is that there is no guarantee that the shop will fix the problem and it will cost $200. |

Thank you Tubetone This is useful info. I will go to the Sig desler and see if his 225 has better spring tension on mag release. This looks like a viable option to sending in the pistol for repair. |

| Don’t sell the gun. Changing a mag release spring is an easy DIY repair you can do with basic hand tools.

| Dude, I get it that everyone doesn't like to tinker but give me a break. Expensive fix? Did you do even the slightest research before you started bitching? Put it in the classifieds telling everyone about the mag for the 495 you paid for it and it will be gone by days end.
You got a great deal but you aren't happy. Sell it. You won't have an issue recouping your money. |

| I’ve never registered a single warranty card and have sent multiple guns back to manufacturers including Sig when I wasn’t the original purchaser. Don’t ask don’t tell. Never had an issue getting things fixed. For the most parts manufacturers want thier products to work properly. I agree with others, it’s an easy fix, changing out the whole mag release assembly would take you less than 5 minutes.
