Thanks for the suggestions.
Acknowledged on the use of new roll pins. The armorer's manual says that too. Will use new pins next time.
Regarding the extractor possibly not holding the round tight to the breach, doing a seat of pants comparison to my trade in 226, the 228 is a hair "looser".
I'll keep an eye out for parts that don't break the bank. Just a cursory look around the net shows extractors and breeches to be hard to find for reasonable prices. Any parts compatibility with other Sig pistols? Buying a whole slide may be an option as it is already a mixed SN gun.
I also have a local gunsmith which I can take it to check headspace.
I cleaned it and it is apart again and this time i pulled the extractor--tons of gunk under the body of the extractor, but the claw does not look excessively worn.
A smart man would send it in to Sig to figure out, but I'm not that smart.
I enjoy the tinkering and troubleshooting.
I hate to turn this into a "safe thread" seen in GD, but it will likely take awhile to get parts at a reasonable price.
Also from the
before changing the firing pin brass pile, I found an example of double struck brass. I couldn't find a could example of double struck brass after changing the pin(public indoor range).
Left by the 228 two hits on primer(interesting that it moved the cartridge). Right just normally fired during the same session by a different model striker fired pistol.
Also interesting is most of the P228 brass has primer indents of varying depth.
