I just shot my new Sig P226 9mm for the first time today. I shot about 290 rds.
During the first 240 rds, I had at least 15 stovepipe jams plus some failure to feed jams. Also, I never had the slide lock back when the mag was empty. I was using 3 new Mec-Gar 15 rd mags, and a new Sig 10 rd mag. for ammo, I was using CCI Blazer 115 gr, Winchester 115gr (the Q4172 that comes in 50rd boxes with styrofoam trays), and American Eagle (i.e., Federal) 147 gr ammo. All mags and all ammo produced the same jams.
During the last 50 rds, I didn't have any problems but, I now have my doubts about this gun. I know mechanical things may need a little breaking in but, today's experience was a bit ridiculous. Also, I never heard about a slide stop lever that needed to be broken in!
FYI, before I shot the gun, I cleaned it with MPro7 and lubed it with Militec. I'm curious, has anyone else had similar experiences with their new Sigs? Did they get better?
