If you want to run black hills ball or something like that, good. That means milspec ball, or other high quality ammo. This is an evaluation of the gun, you want to eliminate variables.
USE NATO BALL OR OTHER HOT AMMO for this drill.
See if the issue show up with dryfire only for some reason. Record all problems with each drill, keep track of how many rounds fired and number your mags so you know which works better than the others. It's bupkas to it for use, and their should be NO issues, especially not with a brand new gun (like yours is at 400).įirst thing I'd do, get several hundred rounds of NATO 9mm & some targets.Ĭlean the gun, lube to spec (Use white lithium grease, it stays put and doesn't run) then go to the range.ĥ0 rounds at 3 yards, single action, looking for 1 hole groups.ĥ0 rounds at 3 yards, DA/SA, 2 inch circle.ĥ0 rounds DA/SA, 3x5 index card at 5 yards from low ready.ĥ0 rounds, DA only (Decock the gun every shot), headshots on B-27 at 7 yd from low ready.ĥ0 rounds DA/SA headshots on B-27 at 7 yd from low ready. I'll be off-line (Christmas activities) until tomorrow night, but would much appreciate your thoughts or any info regarding this.Ĥ00 rounds through the gun just tests to see if a SIG is assembled with no more than 3 missing parts and 1 part incorrectly installed. I know people that shoot thousands of rounds through their Glocks without cleaning them - not saying that's right or wrong or good or bad that they do that, but that's what they do and they don't have probs after a mere 400 rounds. I have to say, if this is normal for a Sig SRT after 400 rounds, I think we have a problem. This could mean that if oil gets sticky due to dirt or cold that this can happen. It could be dirt had built up and the oil I added relieved the problem, or it could be a problem showing up under less than squeaky clean conditions. I have never seen the problem once with live fire. Remember, I only have 400 rounds through the gun. I did not clean the areas where I dropped the oil, but I have oiled that area regularly. Although during the 400 rounds, I did maintain the barrel, slide, frame, etc. This was not due to oil starvation if anything I use a bit too much oil. I tried it again and again and again and all short resets just like it's supposed to. So I pull the slide and drop some Lucas Gun Oil in the hammer, sear, safety lever, etc. Last night I was doing some dry firing and on the second dry fire, the trigger reset long? I tried it again and it reset short, again - long, the next few - long reset. I bought a new Sig P226R SRT Enhanced Elite and so far I've put 400 rounds through it.
