[The P238 is stovepiping and mangling brass cases quite a bit. It did it a lot at first and seems to do it less now that I have put 400+ rounds through it. It cycles perfectly with the limited amount of Hornady XTC and the Zombie Max rounds I tested recently, but with most fmj target rounds it is stovepiping either occasionally, or even a lot with some manufacturers ammo. I even started keeping track of it and ran 300+ rounds through it while keeping a record of the stovepipes and mangled brass. If I had another pistol to carry right now I would send it in immediately, but I cannot afford to be unarmed as we were recently burglarized. My other pistols are also malfunctioning or are not suitable for carrying. My Walther/Smith and Wesson P99 .40 malfunctioned during the shooting portion of my CHL class and the spring broke. I need to contact SW or Walther and see if it is covered under a warranty of any sort. Once I get it fixed and running I can take the time to send the Sig in, but I cannot be without a pistol for any length of time, even one that is occasionally stovepiping.

I have one also and was having similar issues when I first got it. I called Sig and spoke to them about it. They sent me two new springs for it which helped. Also I switched from Remmington UMC in the big 250 pack box to WWbox which seemed to finish the answer. In looking at the UMC stuff the bullets were seated at different depths in the shells. I asked the store I bought the ammo about it and they told me a long story about the price versus quality control trade-off. All I know is no problems with my SD ammo or the WWbox, so I am thinking there might be something to it.
