Had you cleaned your weapon after you shot it last time.
When you chamber a round do you just bump the slide release and let the slide slam the round into the chamber or do you let your slide down by hand and let it close easy?
Quality time with a Glock is a good thing.
I never heard about the problems with your Sig. Do you have a reference to it?
The ammo was from Georgia Arms and I'd put 150 rounds of it through prior to today. I've even used it at IDPA matches. Haven't used that specific bag of ammo before, but they were all from the same batch. Factory loads, too. No problems at all. The rounds were jacketed. All I put through the gun is jacketed rounds.

I did clean it after the last time I used it.

I've been slamming the slide home by hand. I have trouble using the release on the gun, so I have taken to just grabbing the slide and letting it fly.

No, I never mentioned it, I don't think anyway. It wasn't so much an issue with what the Sig did, it was more of what the casing did after it bounced off the wall. It got behind my glasses and burned my eye and eyelid pretty good. It took months upon months before I was able to force my eyes to stay open when shooting it. I still occassionally close my eyes when I pull the trigger, but not as often. And I only do it with the Sig, not my Bersa or my Glock and certainly not my revolver.
