P938 issues

Purchased a brand new P938 Nightmare Oct. 22. Took it home and cleaned and oiled it just like normal Shot it 3 days later. I could not get through a single 6 shot clip without some sort of issue. Failure to feed, fire or eject. Three other friends shooting with me had similar issues with this pistol. Switched from reloaded and then brand new ammo three times that day. Went through 150 rounds before I had enough.

I have shot plenty of guns in my time and have never seen it before. Upon dis assembly I saw galling, peening, coined metal, interference fits and very uneven wear on almost all moving parts of this pistol. I am positive that I did everything possible to correctly break this gun in. I have pictures of everything stated. I sent it back to Sig for evaluation.

I know I am new here but I am not new to guns or forums. What do you guys think happened? I have complete and total faith that this is, and will be, one of my favorite guns. It just got off to a rocky start. Thanks guys.

You can also use a cleaning rod to use as a spring guide. Drop the barrel in, insert the cleaning rod through the front of the slides guide rod opening. Slide the spring over the guide rod and push the other end of the spring over the cleaning rod. Push the guide rod through the guide rod opening (which pushes the cleaning rod out) and lock it to the barrel assembly. Takes all of 2 seconds and the spring doesn't bow out and fold up.
