Hi all,

Does anyone know of a good Sig gunsmith in the St. Louis or surrounding areas. Any info is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jimmy

Well it's a new P220 that's ejecting brass in all directions. Some of the brass ejects at about 3 or 4 o'clock, but some of it ejects straight back at 6 o'clock. Sig customer service tells me that it needs to be tuned. It's covered under warranty so I can send it back to Sig but first I'd like to talk with an experienced gunsmith about it.

"Tuned"?  WTF???  

1911's and Harleys need to be tuned, everything else had damn well better run out of the box or else send it back until they fix it right.  But at least the 1911s have been getting less worse lately.  

Sounds like a broken or chipped extractor or ejector to me.  I know on my Glocks the Cardinal Sin is to drop a round into the chamber while the slide is locked back and then let the slide slam forward over the round.  Dang near guaranteed to ruin an extractor sooner rather than later doing that.  Always feed rounds from a magazine.

I'm a Sig armorer for my work. If you buy the parts, I can put them in for you no cost. I'm in the St.Louis area.

But I get to keep any extra parts
