Got an Return authorization number and a FedEx label a few min ago from SIG.
The say they are “fixing it”. Which I was told means replacing. If it is just bending it back, I can do that myself. But so far, it looks like they mean to replace it. I will keep you posted.
SIDE NOTE:
According to our Nation Armory, I am the 4th gun out of 12k currently issued pistols to have this issue. (We have a contract for Up to 20k total, just 12k in the field so far) So pretty minimal chances.
We have also had two extractor launch themselves from slides in one week. Factory ammo, no blown case head. So I dont know how this was possible. I was not present for either event, so I did not get to diagnose or do a post mortem. When I ask questions like, “so there was still brass in the chamber, and you had a double feed? Was the brass in the chamber bulged or split? Any primer flattening or flow?” I just get a blank stare. An instructor used a multi tool to get the spend brass out of the chamber. Shooter said he thought he saw a piece on the ground that could be part of the gun, but was not sure. He went to the range the next day and found the perfectly intact extractor on the ground.
Strange thing is, shooter had this happen... they Pulled his pistol, issued him a new one the next day, he goes to the range to qual with the new pistol and managed to have the extractor self remove on a second pistol! The chances of a coincidence are astronomical. Neither extractor “broke”, and they could both be popped back into place and continued to function. No visible cause could be fund. I 100% believe the shooter that he has never detail stripped the pistol (he is not a gun guy).
