Second day at the range...still no extractor failures...

Today I checked these types of Mags for function:

7 Round GI
7 Round Colt Officer, stainless
7 Round Sig (came with)
8 Round Sig (came with the Fastback)
8 Round Colt stainless
8 Round Chip McCormick Shooting Star
8 Round Wilson Combat
10 Round Chip McCormick Power Mag 10 (failed to hold open)

Other than the one failure to hold the slide back with the Power Mag 10, there were no other malfunctions of any kind.

Good, then you're still here

I like that it doesn't mind what it's fed from. What have you been feeding it?

My experience is that except for the very first mag, it will feed anything reliably. Ball, JHP, PHP, various self-defense ammo. It always goes bang.

About the only thing I did to mine was polish the feed ramps to mirror-like shiny.

Unfortunately, my Sig is soon to be relegated to 2nd string as my custom build is on the way back from ion bonding. As soon as I get a thousand rounds through it and it is proven accurate and reliable, it becomes my EDC.

In a 5" barrel it's just above the power floor for IDPA, CDP division. I don't know what the velocity is in the 3" barrel. I may try to chrono it this afternoon. If it makes the power floor for IDPA CDP, I may try to use this pistol in the next match.
