Title: SIG Recall
Post by: ericire12 on July 30, 2009, 10:06:14 PM: Quote
SIG SAUER, Inc. has initiated a Mandatory Safety Upgrade pertaining to our new Model P238™ pistols. We have determined that a small number of P238 pistols may have safety levers that are not manufactured to factory specifications. Under certain conditions, it may be possible for the lever not to be completely engaged in the safe position. In this condition, the gun will not fire when the trigger is pulled. However, when the safety lever is moved to the off position, the hammer may fall, with the remote possibility that the gun could fire unintentionally, thus creating a risk of injury or death.

…

If you have a SIG SAUER P238 with a serial number between DA000501 and DA003216, please cease use of the firearm immediately. Not all P238s within the identified serial number range are affected; therefore, it is imperative that you contact us via the UPGRADE HOT LINE at 1 (866) 446-1914. An operator will take your information and confirm if your firearm is required to be returned for Upgrading. If necessary, you will receive a certified package from SIG SAUER that will contain a UPS shipping return label, a Return Merchandise Authorization Number, and a box to return the firearm

My Glock 23 was called back for one of these "upgrades" back in the 90's. It took them 5 days. I never had so much as a failure to feed before the "upgrade" and still haven't. They did fit it with a New York trigger though.

What you are drawing attention to is the superb marketing and legal team at Sig. Those fine folks are earning their money. Just keeping their jobs secure, sir.

Post by: Ping on May 05, 2012, 08:52:30 PM: Was helping a student get on target today with their Sig Sauer SP2022 in .40 Smith and Wesson. Shot 2 inches low. Was using Shoot and See targets and put a red dot on the 8 line and the student aimed at it to hit the center target. I had the same issue with my Sig P220 in 1995.
