Reliability Issues with Sig Sauer M18

[MrAceJD]

It certainly does sound like an ejector issue.

Have you used any extended magazines without the big base pad on the bottom?

No, I only use the Sig OEM 10-round mags. There is nothing modified on the pistol. Ammo is all factory. Magazines are all factory and only 10-rounds.

Did you get it back? What was the issue

They replaced the guide rod assembly. Apparently if the assembly fails, the gun can seize up. They repaired it fairly quickly. No problems since. My gunsmith at my local FFL said it happens. It may be 1 in 200,000 but it happens. Can't move the slide at all when it does.

Good deal. Thanks for the reply and info.
