Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Shaky Sig' phenomenon?

The 'Shaky Sig' phenomenon refers to a malfunction where a Sig Sauer firearm, like the P365 X Macro or P320, fails to fire due to the firing pin not dropping consistently on trigger pull. Sometimes, the firearm needs to be physically shaken or tapped to reset the mechanism for it to fire.
