Same exact issue with mine. Sent 3 mags back to sig with a description of my issue and all they did was send me 3 new mags with the exact same issue. Sig is garbage now.
I spent a small fortune on hollow points to run through the gun (100 rounds). Using Federal HST and Sig V-Crown I experienced numerous failure to feed malfunctions with the gun. I ended up selling it to an individual who claimed he could fix the mags.
I think sig tried to keep the grip as small as possible and didn’t allow for longer of wider tip rounds. To me you just need to figure out what works best and use that. You can’t beat the feel of the grip on the xten
I had the same issue. I took it back to the store to see if there was a fix. One of the employees is a competitive shooter. He figured out the issue is with the Sig ammo. Hornady works just fine. I don't know why Sig did not recall the brass cartridges and they have a Notice on them that says they are fine. They are not fine. Try other ammo.
I had some extra springs from my Glock 17 mags and I swapped em with the xten and the problem was fixed haven’t had a single feeding issue since hopefully that helps 🫡
Thanks for making the video since I just purchased one a few days ago. Haven't shot it yet but was going to the range with different ammo to test out. One thing I have noticed is the 15 round mag load issue. I will be good running 14 instead of fighting trying to get that 15th round in the clip. If 14+1 rounds of 10mm whatever can't stop something then oh well. Watched several videos and read up on the SIG XTEN but no one mentioned the issue you and a few others in the comments section ran into. Makes me want to stick to my GLOCK20 in the outdoors and use the SIG for the range or get rid of it. I will make a decision after I put a few hundred rounds through it. Haven't had an issue with my GLOCK (runs like a champ) but like the weight and feel of the SIG better and is the reason I purchased it.
This is B.S., unacceptable. Sig needs to step up and adress this issue immediately. A failure to feed could cost your life in a self defense situation. I feel Sig would be held responsible for that death in a court of law due to defective manufacturing of their mags and being made fully aware of it by now.
I haven't had any trouble with mine. I've put lots of different rounds through mine, but I'm going to do a "stress test" with even more kinds of ammo after seeing this.
I have this and wish I saw all this before picking it up. I picked mine up just a month ago and you’d think these issues would have been resolved by now. I’ve been able to shoot both target and hollow points and don’t think I have the feed issue. but my main issue currently is just not being able to have 15 rounds in the mag and be able to seat it with out the slide being open
I’m glad I find videos like this when I get a crazy idea about trading my g20 in for something else it sucks because just like my glocks I can pick up a sig and shoot it just as good thanks for the info
I have the same exact issue. And for a $900 handgun it should not have this mag issue. Mine I can’t even load all 15 rounds of self defense. And it rattles every time. Haven’t had a cycle problem yet but I’ve only fired about 30 rounds. Thinking about going back to where I got it from
So I'm having this same exact issue... except it only seems to happen with SIG JHP with the brass casing. The nickel casings give me no issue... Hornaday jhp work just fine also.
I rented an X-Ten a week ago at my local Range USA and experienced this exact issue with it. The follower would get caught around the 10th round and the 15th round would be loose and would fall out of the mag if inverted. The gun shot full 15 round mags fine with S&B FMJ ammo. The 1st round of a 15 round mag of S&B JHP would fail to feed; subsequent rounds fed & shot fine.
I just bought mine this week, it’s actually the first Sig Ive ever purchased and you are absolutely correct in your video. My bullets fall out of the magazines as well. The mags periodically catch on something inside the pistol, not allowing me to seat it fully, probably the mag release lever. Which is a No-Go. Depending on the bullet it will have failure to feed issues. Sig knows better. I hope they are working with Metgar on developing a fix to all these issues. Thanks for posting.
Every review I’ve seen on this model has been favorable so far. Thanks for sharing your experience and opinion. I would like to add a 10mm to my collection and still will consider this model but there is considerable competition as an alternative option.
I agree with the person who called you an idiot. You don't even know how to shoot. You shouldn't even be aloud to own a gun with the way you shoot. Pleas stop making yt videos.
I've had this problem in other mags that is a double stack that narrows at the top. First take the mag apart and clean out the inside then check the follower and clean up and polish any part of it that touches the mag. then get you some graphite spray and apply it to the follower and inside the mag. What I found is when the ammo is loaded when the spring starts getting tension on it it pushes the first round over to the side and it rides against the side of the mag and causes a wedge effect jamming the mag hence the loose round effect. usually once the mags get broken in there is no problem. I know I'm late to this party but I thought this might help you and I'm getting ready to do this to mine as I'm going out in the morning to pick up my new P320X10. Hope this helps!
I used a Sig Xten and had none of these issues. Full mag needed a small "tap" to get in there but there are plenty of guns with that issue. Sorry you had some problems!
What does SIG have to say about these issues? I just purchased this model over the Glock 20 because of the extra features and it fit very nice and the reviews were great I just happen to find these videos having the same mag issues but not one of them mentioned contacting SIG I did read one comment saying that SIG mailed out replacement mags and one person returned the weapon not wanting to deal with it! What’s up SIG?
I just got my XTEN today and have not fired it yet. I have loaded and unloaded both mags with different brands of FMJ ammo and JHP ammo including SIG and have not been able to reproduce this problem. I did not use an Uplula. I loaded them the old fashioned way and it was not difficult. The full mag takes a solid hit with the palm to insert it all the way, but that is no problem either. The slide release works easily and feeds the first round from a full mag every time so far. Hopefully I will get to the range tomorrow and be as fortunate as the OP was with no failures. I went back and played the video again and caught that he said that he shot 200 rounds with no hiccups. I was considering not buying the gun before I heard that, but after hearing that I pulled the trigger. This is my second SIG and the first one has been flawless. The quality is excellent on these guns. My take on this is that It's like when you tell the doctor it hurts when I do this and he says yeah don't do that. Cheers.
I have an xten and i run absolutely nothing but sig vcrown and federal hst and my magazines dont do anythint like this. Worst thing my magazine has done is the spring is tight and needs broken in so its stiff to get locked into the gun with the slide in battery.
I had the same problem with my new P365X in 9mm. I took the mags apart and cleaned them. They were full of gunk. After cleaning and relubing the mags, I have had no issues.
I know I'll sound dumb but can anyone educate me why the barrel of most polymer frame pistols lifts from front (unlike the full metal pistols) when the slider is in full back position?
You are not an idiot! Sig pistol, Sig mags and sig ammo together fail? Shame on Sig! I had a totally different problem with mine, but as far as carry ammo goes, I'm loading my own, .005 deeper to 1.250 with XTP's, and it's only had 2 fails to feed out of about 500 rounds. I have continued to use white lithium lube and probably will till I get to 1000 rd count. Update: June 9, 2023. Several hundred more rounds and the mags are loading easier and no more malfunctions. Again, I make my own carry ammo because factory is too expensive and typically watered down loads.
I'm more and more deciding the Sig is not a trustworthy manufacturer because of untrustworthy customer service. I've looked at many videos about Sig guns. Many of them seem to suggest that the guns should be fine. On the other hand, most don't show something going wrong the way you've shown. The bigger problem is that Sig's customer service seems worthless.
After watching this video and reading the comments about the fun being a great shooter, I’m buying one. Sig Sauer stands behind their products and if there is an issue here, I’m sure they will again. Besides, Glock 20 grips feel like a 2x4.
Same exact issue with mine. Sent 3 mags back to sig with a description of my issue and all they did was send me 3 new mags with the exact same issue. Sig is garbage now.

I just went with the glock 20 saved 400 more dollars
I bought the X-Ten Comp and I'm having the same magazine issues. Tried various manufacturers ammunition and all jabbed.
A great looking gun but I'll stick with my g20 for now
Year later, just seeing this video. Recently picked up a x10 and a p365 x macro tacops and both of them have the same issue
Take the mag apart clean it using a mag brush and lube the mags and reassemble.
Do you have any updates on this situation? Thanks!

@@kenw5419 Thanks for sharing!
did you try both magazine with the same ammo ?
Yes.
I think sig tried to keep the grip as small as possible and didn’t allow for longer of wider tip rounds. To me you just need to figure out what works best and use that. You can’t beat the feel of the grip on the xten
I'm afraid to buy a SIG American made. They were All perfect when made in Germany
Unbelievable that Sig did not test with their own ammo? Unless it's a limited fault.

I don't know why Sig did not recall the brass cartridges and they have a Notice on them that says they are fine. They are not fine. Try other ammo.
Further update, it seems to only be certain lots of the Sig ammo that does not work. I have another box with a different date on it and it is fine.
I had some extra springs from my Glock 17 mags and I swapped em with the xten and the problem was fixed haven’t had a single feeding issue since hopefully that helps 🫡
I just bought my XTEN 2months ago, I love it I don't have many rounds through it yet but so far so good no issues.
I have the exact same issue with this gun both mags after 10 rounds they get stuck
I just tried underwood with smaller hollow point,they work great
The hollow points are hanging up on the magazine catch holes hold mag flat side down and try it

I have never had a problem with mine.
I was thinking about buying a 10mm. Thanks for your very informative video.
I haven't had any trouble with mine. I've put lots of different rounds through mine, but I'm going to do a "stress test" with even more kinds of ammo after seeing this.
From what i've heard this is only an issue with hard ball loads. They are a little longer and don't feed very well. All other ammo is fine.

Buy a Glock model 40. Sig is garbage. I hate sig Sauer.
You acknowledged the error via comment below, I’d remove the video unless it still holds true.

@@UtahGoinBIGThere are other people in the comment section also having issues. I suppose it’s because unlike you, they are all incompetent.
@@UtahGoinBIGit’s happening to so many people, mine does it too only with hollow points. As does a ton of them so can’t be rubbish.
Get yourself a Glock.
@@tonyenglish5153 I work for sig , buy the P220 leagon in 10MM single action only , it only holds 8 rounds in a mag but its a lot nicer gun .

Yeah stop posting videos until you know what you're doing. Guns have to be broken in. You have a breaking issue. Break your gun in
I wonder if the follower tilts back, causing resistance and looseness and that is the pop

I know I'll sound dumb but can anyone educate me why the barrel of most polymer frame pistols lifts from front (unlike the full metal pistols) when the slider is in full back position?
Saved me $1000
There's no way I would buy a Sig product.
Me neither. No other brand have so many issues. Why risk your life? I don't get it.
