I have an older model p229 with a rail. I bought it as a cpo a number of years ago and I rarely shoot it. Long story short, I am having problems with ejecting the empty case. I replaced the ejector and spring. Still no luck. I look at it tonight and I notice this inside the chamber. It looks like a pin hole or something. I don't see anything like this in any of my other guns. Can anyone tell me if their p series pistol has a similar marking inside the chamber?

I never looked at the brass. I actually didn't notice the inside of the chamber until I was taking it apart last night. There was less than 200 rounds since the last cleaning. I scrubbed it and the chamber appears smooth now, but the circle is still there. It looks like a pin, but I now have for the most part dismissed it as the cause of the fte issues.
To answer a prior question, it fails to pull the brass completely out of the chamber and this happens once every 20 rounds or so. Different ammo, all factory loads. The springs I believe are replaced when it it is reconditioned at Sig and in the few years I have owned it, it has had around 500 rounds through it. It pretty much sits in my gun room all the time. So I am pretty sure I will just send it in to Sig and see what it costs me. I am out of other ideas at this point. |
