I've recently started having a few problems with my Sig P938:
• 2-piece guide rod (screwed together) started coming unscrewed. Sig promptly sent a replacement free of charge. But the new one appears to be the same design, so, I'm sure the problem will crop up again after I shoot it some.
• Trigger not resetting. Last couple of times I went to the range, I couldn't get through a magazine without this happening. A smith told me that some debris can get between the trigger bar and sear and cause this. I took the grips off and hosed it out. I'm planning on going to the range in the next couple of days, so, I'll report back if it's still happening.
• Magazine releasing without the mag catch button being pushed. This happens only with the mag that has an extension for my little finger. My theory is that muzzle flip, which obviously puts substantial force on that pinky extension, is causing this. It's only recently started doing this, so, I have to assume it's being caused by a component that's gotten worn. I've only had it happen with one of the magazines; I have another identical mag that I need to try and see if the same thing happens. Again, I'll report back.
• Grip screws. I'm always having grip screws coming out and getting lost. Sig has been very good about sending me replacements at no charge, but it's irritating.
This was my primary EDC for a couple of years, but I won't be carrying it until I figure these problems out - especially the trigger reset and uncommanded magazine release problems.
On a positive note, I used these problems as an excuse to buy a new EDC piece - my Glock 32! See my other thread.
