stiblaster Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 My P320 .40 caliber doesn’t have nearly as much case exposed as that. Mine is the standard full size model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dansedgli Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 If you ream the chamber more the case can drop deeper into the chamber and further away from the breachface. Not ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavagai Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 FWIW. Blew the extractor out. Uninjured. Sig replaced it under warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrydoc Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I read these posts Dan and I now wonder if this is what happened to my RX I didn't notice any of the bulged cases but certainly had the extractor issue that they couldn't fix and replaced the complete gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stiblaster Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Is this just a 9mm problem, or has this been reported with other calibers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansedgli Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I've seen a 357 sig one blown out on another form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo9 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Update: xfive back from sig “repaired” after 5 weeks. Armorers notes “customer experienced ammo related blow out” They never contacted me before shipping back to notify me of thier findings. They replaced the springs and extractor that blew blew out the side of the gun. And knocked the stuck case out of the chamber. Assessment: chamber had deep scours from whatever tool they used to drive the brass out. Trigger was heavy and gritty (found the small spring that holds the striker safety lever to be bound up, I had to take everything apart and reassemble correctly) and the gun will still launch a pencil from the barrel 10ft across the room while slightly out of battery. They did did not charge me. Luckily. Sent this one packing. Traded for a CZ p-09. Staying away from Sigs for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dansedgli Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 My new X5 has arrived. Less than 100 rounds in and I got another bulge. I have narrowed it down to a combination of my powder, specific types of brass and the unsupported chamber. If I take one of those things away it is ok. Ideally the chamber would be supported but if I use a slower powder it is ok. Additionally if I take out any PPU, Tulammo or really old brass it is ok too. Or I can just shoot that ammo in any other 9mm without issues. I don't plan on sorting my cases by head stamp so Ill use a slower powder and hope for the best. I might sell both the x5's and give Production optics a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
