Sig P238 Damage

[ShaggyRS6]

Hi everyone. My new P238, its 3 weeks old, I have out about 150 rounds through it. I got home from the range today and noticed the damage below you can see on the attached pics while I was cleaning it. The mark on the left actually feels as though there is some metal missing, its certainly not just the coating that has come off.  I clean the gun methodically after each time I shoot and keep it well lubricated as I know Sig's like to be kept that way.  Something I have noticed the last few times I have shot it is the first round I shoot each session does not eject properly, I am wondering if that is anything to do with the marks.  I know sometimes that you need to bed these guns in on occasion.  What do you think? Nothing to worry about, or take it back and have Sig replace the frame?

So you have to clear a jamb every time, send the pistol back. As far as the wear let Sig do something about it.

Okey dokey. I thought that was the answer. Just wanted to check! Thank you both !

[ShaggyRS6]

I contacted Sig and shared the pictures I took. They agree that this should not happen and have sent me Fedex Lables to I can ship to them to fix!

Thank you for the update! Please keep us posted.

Well Sig got back to me, I must say awesome customer service. Long story short, gun is not repairable, so I can choose any P238 they have!! 

Which one would you get ?

A Shield or a Glock 43x. Yeah, I know...I'm being a jerk. Just not been a fan of the 238/938 pistols.

But as to your situation, check their site for all the various models and see what strikes your fancy.

That's awesome!  I would go SAS, Emperor Scorpion, or LEGION if they would actually do it.

I honestly like the Rose gold!  I always really fancied looking like Nicholas cage from Face Off!!

We all promise not to make fun of you when we see you at the range.  Just don't wear your pimp hat.  If you do, all bets are off!!!

In all seriousness I’ll prolly go with the SAS because I had already ordered black and grey Union Jack grips from Wicked grips. I thing that would work well

[ShaggyRS6]

Or actually maybe the legion. I actually just watched a couple of videos. That would work with the grip too.

Well that’s the Rose Gold. But the general consensus is that I will look like a DB!

That is great service.  Wonder if they realize how many people they have affected in their next weapon buying decision, just on this forum alone.

[ShaggyRS6]

They certainly have completely 180’d me on anything I purchase . I rank Customer service very highly. Was thinking about. DD AR-15 somewhere down the road. Would now buy the SIG tread because of this experience .

I'm happy to hear of your good CS experience. (Though maybe better to not have needed it in the first place...)

Whatever you choose, enjoy your new pistol!

I went with the Legion!

Happy to hear you didn’t ask for one of those awful rainbow things.

Well it's here! Just went to the FFL to do the do!  As I am not a Citizen it always takes a bit longer, has to go through ICE, but they will call me when I'm cleared.   I'll post pics when I get it

[ShaggyRS6]

Clearance Clarence took a long time.  Only just got cleared, I guess ICE were busy at the border   Should have pics this afternoon!

And here it is, in all it's glory!  Will shoot it the afternoon, first impressions? The slider is like silk and the grip just feels awesome.  They did a good job with this firearm and I am totally a SIG fan boy now.  So much so that I want to swap my PPQ (which is outstanding) for a 9mm or .45 Sig. Amazing how the right customer experiencing can change your outlook!
