Attention! There has been an influx of scammer signups!

The method of operation is to private message you and tell you that you should contact such 'n such person at a given email address.

Please report the private messages. Staff will ban the offender, and I will implement an IP ban. Unfortunately these scammers are using VPN/proxy services, which may mean your VPN/proxy may be blocked.
Attention! About VPN's and foreign IP addresses.

When signing up, do so from a US based Internet Service Provider. Turn off any VPN/safe-browsing feature. Failure to do so will result with your new account denied.

If you run into a IP ban afterwards as a member, again - turn off your VPN or switch servers. We do not ban legit Internet Service Providers from the USA(exception for certain individual IP addresses). Free VPN's tend to get banned too. We try not to ban legit subscription VPN services, but they rarely label their IP blocks correctly.

If you run into an IP ban, it likely wasn't you.

New SIG 228R, failures to fire, weak ejection, etc
I recently picked up a new in box SIG 228R. Cleaned it, took it to the range and had several failures to fire out of about 200 rounds(Remington and Fiocchi)

It also seemed to have a weak ejection pattern, my SIG 226 with same ammo was over twice the distance.

Another possible issue is that the firing pin impacts on the primer seems really off center compared to my other SIGs. Pictures look similar but the 228's is just a little more to towards the edge of the primer.

Thoughts?
