I have an early model P238 and it has the old round recoil spring. Sig updated it for me with the new flat spring. Problem is I could not get it to go into the end of the barrel after putting it on the guide rod. Called Sig and they acted like I was a 16 yr old kid that didn't know what I was doing. I then took it to a Sig dealer gun store and they could not get it to fit. After about 30 min and with two men holding it at the same time they got it to fit. And told me jokingly....don't take that out again.
My question for you 238 owner is, has anyone experienced this? The new flat spring is longer than the old one, but Sig assured me it was the correct spring. Can anyone measure their spring and post the length to let me compare? Smith at the store told me this is not normal but did not have a 238 to compare mine with. Not understanding all I know about this deal Any help will be great.
