P365 did not chamber a round

[stevosmith]

Well I went to the range today to shoot off 50rds, somewhere at 22 rds of shooting, the P365 didnt load a round in the chamber. Yes the protocol is to tap, rack, and continue shooting. I was shooting new Norma FMJ. This is OEM and nothing got modified. I'm wondering what can cause this to not load a round in the chamber when I shot off a shot prior as magazine was tight and no stove pipe or anything to jam it up. It was a easy fix to continue shooting by i just had to manually racked a round in the chamber. This is a new gun and this is my 1st 50 rds too.

I took it home to cleaned and oiled it very good so maybe there wasn't enough oil from the factory?

I wouldn’t render any judgement until you’ve put a couple hundred rounds through it. That said, I think you have a sticky follower in your magazine. Mark your mags so you can identify bad ones. Dry lube your mag.

I say put another 50 and see if it happens again, it could have been that the previous round didn’t have powder to cycle the slide to pick up the next round or your thumb could have been riding the slide

You should of cleaned it before shooting it.

The factory oils them for storage, not the same oil used to lubricate.

Keep shooting it. It should be fine.

My P238 took a few hundred rounds to get past the occasional FTF. Clean and lubricate well and give it another hundred before thinking there is an issue.

Shocking. Not really. Todays Sig is junk. It is NOT the “Sig Sauer GmbH West Germany” of yesteryear. A completely different company, only the name is “almost” the same.

Todays Sig is junk in my opinion.

Does this mean you didnt field strip, clean, and oil before the first range trip? Could be the cause...

thanks guys, i will shoot it another 150rds before deciding anything.

so a couple of you guys say a new gun should be cleaned and oiled prior to shooting? I'm usually a glock guy and sold my g26 to get my 1st sig. Glock typically have this copper oil substance from factory and recommends shooting it 100rds or so to break in using that copper oil they put in the slide rail.

I thought the sig would be the same, like some type of break in oil like the glock had. so i shot it new without cleaning and oiling it

Malfunctions and stoppages happen for a variety of reasons; clear them and move on. If they persist, troubleshooting is in order to identify the cause.

The copper "lube" on new Glocks is an anti-seize compound to prevent any issues with long-term storage since it can sit in inventory for long periods of time. Clean it off, use a quality lube of your choice, and shoot the gun. Or don't; I doubt it really matters.

I wouldn't consider newer Sigs to be junk. My 365 has never failed to load or shoot correctly. Several hundred rounds through it, carried almost everyday with all the gunk that builds up.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Generally, oil from the factory is to protect the firearm during shipping and storage up to point of sale. End user should do a detail cleaning and relube as appropriate.

Sort of like the "dealer prep" on a new car - it's not shipped from the factory in a ready-to-go condition; it's shipped to best survive the transit.

Probably a out of spec cartridge along with a lack of cleaning.

At 22 rounds I wouldn't be concerned. Clean, shoot, repeat. Use various brands of ammo and FMJ as well as HP's. If it's still happening after 2 or 3 hundred rounds, then I'd start to worry.

always clean a new gun before shooting
