Issues with new Sig sp2022

[jakejake527]

my 2022 never had issues. You might have gotten a lemon

Clean the factory oil off. Do a hole cleaning processes that you would after a day at range

I've checked and double checked that I reassembled everything properly. The slide lever is definitely inserted all the way but still having the issue. Looks like I'll be calling Sig tomorrow. Even if the firing issues are break-in related, this slide catch lever seems to be a real problem. I'd rather not take chances with a HD weapon...guess I have to rely on the ol' Mossy a while longer.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully Sig can take care of you quickly. From what I've heard, they have very good Customer Service and Warranty support.

Keep us posted on their assessment, they have a terrific crew out there.

I am hearing more of these stories about Sig all of the time. QC seems to have slipped over the last decade.

Dude, you always talk crap about sigs and its always i hear, i hear, i hear...

dont post in sig threads if this is all you say...

I have a 2022 and when I bought it the guy behind the counter warned me about the catch lever. He said its so hard to get out when the gun is new, people jack it up while trying to remove it for cleaning.

I'm sure that isn't what happened to you, but who knows what your local shop did to it. Just a thought.

Side note, I just broke 2k round through my 2022 and have had zero problems. I didn't have that good of a record with my G17. Its a great gun, hopefully once you get it back you will see that as well.

Sounds like an extractor related problem.

After explaining the issues to SIG, the CS rep sent me a shipping label and told me to send it in right away. I was expecting them to tell me to try a different ammo or tell me that I was just assembling it wrong, but didn't really get any questions.

I'll post an update when I get it back (hopefully not in 4-5 weeks as indicated in the email they sent).

Everything I've heard about Sig's CS has been good. Better to have it take a little extra time and be right than rushed and not.

Besides, the extra time can be spent hunting for more ammo to shoot when you do get it back!!!

Definitely send it back to Sig. My first pistol was a SP2022 in 40 S&W and I never had any issues of any kind with various types of cheap ammo. I'm sure I did a ton of limp wristing, over oiling, and other stuff too.

UPDATE:

So I sent it back to SIG on Friday, 5/31 and got an email yesterday saying it was shipped back. I should be getting it on Monday, so +1 for speedy service after saying it was going to take several weeks.

Out of curiosity I called customer service to find out what they did. I was half expecting them to say they couldn't find any problems and it was all user error, but was told they replaced the slide stop and spring, adjusted the extractor, adjusted the trigger, and put 50 rounds through it to test.

It's unfortunate that I got a unit with some issues. I've been somewhat lamenting my decision to buy this gun rather than something else, but I'm still hopeful that I'm going to be happy with it.

I'll update again after I get it back and can take it to the range.

Congrats on the quick turnaround!!! Glad they fixed it. Pics when it's back ok?

Happy shooting and be safe.

I had the same issues you first talked about -especially stove piping. Unit was pretty new too. Sent it back to sig and they replaced my slide and barrel. No problems since. The only gripe is I had to pay $55 for shipping. Hope your gun comes back with zero probs

Update 2:

So finally got to the range and put 100 rounds of Remington UMC and PMC Bronze 119gr through. Not a single failure, and groupings were pretty good. Unfortunately, still have problems with the slide release lever. SIG replaced the spring and lever but still had the lever end up on the outside of the slide at the end of a magazine. They claim they tested with no more problem, so not sure what's going on. I'll try to get a video next time at the range.
