My new Sig 229 Jams
I have found that my new Sig 229 in 9mm jams sometimes (more often than not) when I try to chamber a round unless I "let it fly" (pull the slide back and let it go and slam forward) or use the slide release from a locked position.
Anyone else have trouble with this in their sigs? My G 23 will chamber a round no matter how slow I go with the slide, I could honestly chamber it almost silently if I went that slow and it would not jam.
Are you supposed to/ do you always "let it fly" or use the slide release? If a Glock would chamber a round slowly I figured a good quality Sig would.

Re: My new Sig 229 Jams
Does it chamber ok once it starts cycling on its own?
Could just be that it's a little tight, or that it does not like the ammo, though most sigs seem to eat anything.
Try different ammo and run a couple hundred through, I assume you did strip and clean first?

Re: My new Sig 229 Jams
Yes, I shot it once (several hundred rounds of Tull, and various other Ammos) and I had no troubles with it at the range, it is only when I want to chamber a round "nicely" It jammed like that with various types of ammo when chambering it slowly, although I do need to shoot this carry Ammo, Hornady Critical Defense, to make sure it does cycle well for carry.

Re: My new Sig 229 Jams
My Sig 2022 does the same thing. It has never really been a problem since I carry +1 anyway, and I have never had a FTF or FTE with any type of ammo (can't even remember all the brands I have shot through it).
will that extra 15% matter? not as much as being able to put one in their face. ~Edg

Re: My new Sig 229 Jams
You ALWAYS should let the slide fly. The gun is not made to have you lower the slide slowly, nor is there really any reason to. Think about what is happening when a round is getting chambered, it takes energy.

Re: My new Sig 229 Jams
My suggestion would be to send it back to Sig. They're VERY good at taking care of the customer and will usually send you a shipping label to get it back to them. Have a Sig gunsmith look at it so that you can put your mind at ease. You'll be about two weeks without the gun.
