The usual deal with MIM- the part either breaks within a few hundred rounds or its good for thousands.

Did the case rupture, or fail catastrophicaly.?
will sig sell you a spare extractor? I watched a P250 throw an extractor a couple weeks ago, gun had 150 rounds through it. the brass case ruptured, not sure why.

My 229 Elite that broke the Firing Pin Placement Pin after dry firing with a snap cap was an isolated incident too
Sorry to hear it. |

I have had a few instances of dealing with Sig's CS Department as I am a buyer for a Firearms Dealer Chain here in WV. They have always been top notch and insanely fast turn around times.

One of the only reasons I went with the MK25 was to get the legacy extractor. After reading this and many other cases, I will always be happy about that decision.

The problem is that its very easy for turds to slip through unnoticed. |

We actually hosted Todd Rassa of the Sig Academy at our shop iin August. He certified myself and three other employess as Sig ClassicLine armorers. But I guarantee i can get my gun to them and back in less time than I can get the parts and install them. Plus 22rds in, warranty will cover all my parts instead of paying out of pocket. |

Will you trust the gun for defense, when you get it back ?
Is there an aftermarket manufacturer of high grade, tool steel extractors for the SIG ?

Grey Guns makes a replacement short extractor and I think an internal one too. The long extractor has not been out long enough for a market to exist yet. The recommendation has been to run 500rds through any gun before carrying it for years. Seems doubly important now. FWIW, a LOT of manufacturers have MIM parts in their guns nowadays. |

I have a 229 Scorpion that did the same extractor issue.
Sig took care of it and it works great now. |

A quick call to my field rep for Sig and a little ribbing in good jest and I quickly had an RMA, shipped out yesterday. We will.see how quick I get it back. I have seen Sig repairs out and back in 5 days.

I have seen Sig repairs out and back in 5 days. I had a door-to-door of 3 days once, shipped from STL to replace a broken barrel bushing. I don't even know how it's possible to get it there and back in that amount of time? |

Got my 226 back today. Not bad turnaround, 6 business days. Will take it to the range and shoot it and see how it does.
