Some of you may have seen my post reguarding my mystery why the new flat recoil spring would not fit on an early model P238. I took it to two smith and they could not get it to fit...only after 30 min did they get it on. And told me jokeingly not to take it off again.
Long story short....Send it to Sig. Sig sent it back. Problem was that the early models came with a plastic guide rod and that is why the spring would not fix...mismatch to guide rod.
Sig replaced with new alum guide rod, new flat recoil spring, upgraded the extractor, also the ejector, the sear spring and gave me a new magazine.
Polished the feed ramp and test fired 30 rounds with zero malfuctions.
They essentially put new guts in the gun.
I am posting this for any that have an early model of the Sig P238....it need upgrading and Sig will do it free.
I am a happy camper even though this is my wifes gun.
