Sig P239 Question
Posted: Sun Oct 07, 2007 4:44 pm
I was shooting my Sig Sauer P239 .40S&W yesterday and noticed that after slidelock my magazines sometimes don't completely drop when I press the release button. When the slide is closed they drop with no problem.
I took the grips off to see if anything was dirty or hanging up. I noticed that when the slide is open the mainspring is compressed and bows a little. It looks like it may be hitting the back of the magazine and the increased friction from the mainspring is causing the magazine to hang up.
I have searched a couple other forum and have noticed some comments about the Sig P220. Can any one shed some light on this. And maybe a solution?
