q-tip Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Well that wall of his bedroom was actually the chimney so it would have been brick shrapnel and bullets flying into the living room, I think it would have been pretty cool to see. :lol: Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 So I seent something "interesting" on a report from the Shot Show in Vegas. It was a "left hand" bolt for a Mosin Nagant. Ok, it was a regular bolt with a wild-ass up-and-over charging handle on it. The way it worked was you push down on the handle on the left side of the gun then pull back. Going back into battery is the opposite. So I'm looking at this thing thinking, "Shut up and take my money!" when I decide, "Hey, I have an extra bolt. Why don't I try something like that?" I chopped off my handle at a 45 degree angle and zooked it back on pointing straight up. Now to cycle it I grab the handle, pull it to the left, and shove it back. It works surprisingly well in the bullpup stock. Soooo, yeah... just thought I'd share. Thanks for your time. 2 Quote Link to comment

heretic Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Any Sig guys here? none currently but I loved everyone of them I've shot. damn fine weapon. Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I picked up a P-238.And I was futzing around with it cycling a magazine(7 rounds) thru it by hand. Every round "stove-piped". I'm like WTF...OVER? So I go to the range and run a box(50)thru it. Non-hollow points. Everything works fine. So when the slide locks open after the mag empties, I see one round left in the box.I drop it in the tube and drop the slide.THe slide does NOT go "home"-it hangs up about a half inch "out". Now, I'm really torked . I call Sig in the states and I am told the stovepipe issue is "normal" and that dropping a round in the tube is the "improper way" to load the weapon. I pulled the phone away from my head, stared at it and say to myself ,WHAT THE FUCK did he just say? So I found a local Smith who polished the ramp,throat and trigger.It now works fine, No more stove-pipes and the slide slams home when one is dropped down the "tube".I ain't too happy with Sig. 1 Quote Link to comment
petercscherer Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I've run a P-238 as my PC for about a year now with no issues after the first few boxes of range ammo. The first 50 rounds cycled through fine with no firing or injection pin marks. I've since run about 400+ rounds of FMJ ammo and about 150 rounds of Personal Defense through it with no issues. Perhaps your situation was caused by the usage of the wrong brand of hollow-points? Or maybe a faulty batch of casings? Not sure. And.... Since this is a thread about which guns we own:Sig Sauer P238 Ruger LCP-380 Ruger LC9 Custom Assembled AR-15 +various 22 cals... ~Peter Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 That doesn't sound like a manufacturer with the prestige of Sig, kind of disappointing really. Glad that a little polish fixed it up. Quote Link to comment

q-tip Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Technically speaking it is an improper way of loading the pistol. It should have no effect on its mechanical functions. Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Correct.However,the technique is taught in every Police academy in this country. Quote Link to comment

DEFINITELY NOT the experience I've had with Sig's..... I'd be SO PISSED especially considering their price tag alone. Which is the sole reason I don't own one yet. Quote Link to comment
Dolomite Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I've heard of some QC issues with the 238s, I'm surprised they didn't take care of it for you. My 220 has been perfect since day one, feels like it's on ball bearings. I've ran shit ammo, hollow points of all kinds with no problems. It's never malfunctioned in any way. For the record, Sig states it will feed, fire, eject any saami spec factory ammo so I don't know what Peter was talking about with wrong brand of hollow points. Hope everything will be as good as it has been for me from here on out. Maybe I have good luck, CZ says the P-01 can malfunction for the first couple boxes, mine's been like clockwork...great little gun. Quote Link to comment

Which is the sole reason I don't own one yet.Trust me-I'm mad enough to chew thru ribbon rail.I'm a "single action" guy and that made it either Colt Mustang or A Sig P-238.I've always heard of their rep and I despise Colt.I got it for a decent price.But this isn't over with by far. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm implying hand-loads or rounds that have sat on a shelf for decades and acquired a layer of rust. I've been appalled at what some gun owners run through their guns. ~Peter Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Took my hi point out and over all it wasnt bad at all it jammed a few times at first but after fucking with the mags for a few minutes that issue went away and i like how the heavy slide helps with the recoil Quote Link to comment

Every time someone asks me my opinion on them, I take a deep breath and 'splain my experience, trying very hard to NOT badmouth the things. They aren't "bad" guns but unless I'm in a really bad way, I wouldn't want to trust my life to one. Quote Link to comment
