Sig P938 malfunction

[sig shooter]

Iv had issues with my Sig P938 dropping the extended mag, while the standard mag works fine. Has anyone else had this issue?

Do they drop when you're firing?

Yes even after several tap, rack, bang drills.

I don't own any Sigs; but it sounds like you're not pushing the mag deep enough to seat.

I have been, pushing them in with a purpose until I hear an audible "click". Only the extended mag has the issue.

You might need to file the baseplate.

Common issue apparently. Remind me never to buy a P938 lol.

Lock the slide to the rear.Insert the magazine.
Tap on the bottom of the magazine.
Release the slide.
Fire the gun.

Did the mag drop out? If no, the problem is the fact that you/your wife are not seating them properly.

If yes, contact Sig. Either the mags have been cut wrong for that gun, or the mag release is faulty or the spring isn't strong enough to lock the mag in place....

Sucks man. I've never had an issue with all my other sigs, including 1911s.

that thread was started close to 2 years ago, i'd be wondering if sig acknowledged the problem or not. i don't have a dog in this fight so i'm not going to dig into it but that would be where i'd start. i would have thought sig would have come up with a fix instead of the end user having to modify the magazine so it wouldn't drop out.

Mine would do the same thing but only with the 147g. All other weights worked fine. I sold it.

Never had this issue with my 938 with either the 6 or 7 round mags using 115g, 124g and 147g.

Send it back to Sig. There is an known issue in the magazine catch for some (including mine - since repaired).

this has happened to me but I think the reason is because I might be hitting the mag release... but maybe not? Also when I release the mag the top round pops out of the mag. It just started doing that, after 500 rounds or so in its life.

Yes even after several tap, rack, bang drills.

that's because it's very easy to touch release botton while holding it.
