I don't even know why NJ cops need guns. They have laws that say criminals and most lawful citizens can't possess guns. I would think that would solve the SIG problem.

SGT William Howell There you go again making sense. Unless of course criminals don't obey those laws? But Nahh, couldn't happen that way.

SGT Howell they could buy the best pencils and pens with that money so they could write tickets or just draw stuff.

y'all I have shot 1000's of rounds from several different types and I loved them all. I have spent countless hours on the range with them and never had a problem. I hope you are right MSgt Cater

Yeah, I shoot cheap ammo at the range cause I shoot a lot. Retired, I have time on my hands. But I also shoot the good JHP defense stuff that I carry every day. My P320C eats it all.

MSgt George Cater I like cheap ammo also; I shoot so much Tula, they should sponsor me. My Glocks and Springfields have no problems with it.

I do not have much faith in thier assertion that the guns were faulty when the idiots who were in charge of receiving didn't even know they had received the wrong guns

Here is my thought. The SIG P220 series has been around for 40 years. It is a proven system. I have carried one in combat. It is entirely possible that a run of guns was wrong. Something was not heat treated right, specs are off....it happens. It dosn't happen the second time on a different run. There is something other than the gun that is the issue. Ammo is off (too hot or too weak), they are forcing malfunctions by doing something the gun was not designed to do, something is off in this.

I worked for a small gun manufacture. Like a real one where we made guns from blocks of metal. Not an AR assembly company. We have had parts that got crappy heat treats and parts would wear out in 500 rounds. We would spend a ton of money to get those parts back and get a replacement part in those guns. You don't want that kind of reputation of being substandard. (It is the main reason I will never buy another Kimber because they allowed the one shot wonder Micro out.) SIG is not going to let 3000 guns out that don't shoot. It would cost them much more than a couple mil just in sales.

SGT William Howell - I have one of those Kimbers. It is more finicky about its ammunition than a five year old eating vegetables.

I would be very surprised if this isn't an ammo problem, rather than a handgun problem.

MSgt Cayle Harris - There is something not right and I don't think it is the gun. The 9mm is the easiest of all pistol calibers to extract. I would be all in on it being an ammo issue.
