Sig P238 : 380 Auto

Rebmattz71
I just picked up my P238 tonight, two tone, night sights, and black wood grips... I am just wondering if anyone else on this forum has gotten one and had some range trips yet? I notice it is having some feeding problems with some Winchester flat-nose ammo I have had for awhile. I am sure with some ball ammo this wont be the case.
I have been reading about some magazine follower problems and just wanted some feedback from others on ammo choices and magazine fixes if this might be the case. Thanks

    I'm not an expert by any means but my wife has a colt mustang plus two and it won't feed win. 380. Try round nose FMJ and if you use it for carry or defense try it with some of those very expensive 380 hollow points. We only trust ours with Rem. round nose JHP.

    Got it and have fired almost every round possible thru it. I have a lot of different .380 and not one malfunction. Love the feel and smooth action better than my Colt .380's and all the others I have.

    It might need a couple hundred rounds through it to get it broke in.
    Mabe less.

    i had som FTF's with hornady critical defense jhp rounds, but no issues with win fmj. a little polishing of the feed ramp cured the jhp problems. if youre not comfortable taking a dremel to the feed ramp, just run 100-200 or so rounds thru it, you'll get the same result, but you might get the same problem if you change ammo again.
    my mustang pocketlite had the same issues until around 200 rounds.

    Fired one for the first time yesterday. I would have thought sig would be better. Firing pin didn't hit the primer hard enough to fire many of some cheap hungarian ammo this guy had. Refused to fire after pulling the trigger multiple times. then had the hammer slip when I started to inspect the no fire problem. Neat little gun with the right ammo. But expected more reliability out of a sig. GFs p230 naver had a problem.
