My P322 died today
I’m about 2500 rds into it and the firing pin or the return spring is broken because it’ll only fire about every other round with lots of light strikes and some of the casings have no strike marks. I’ve done a bit of dry fire with it because Sig claimed it was safe but I’m having doubts and suspect dry firing contributed to the failure. I had nowhere near the 5000 dry fire clicks Sig claims they tested it for.
My recommendation is to dry fire the **** out of yours to prove Sig wrong in their false marketing 😆

My condolences for your loss.
I don't have a P322. Are parts available?
Not yet. The guns aren’t even available yet to most people who want one.I don't have a P322. Are parts available?
That's what I was afraid of. What a bummer. I generally don't dry fire a .22 unless I have a small yellow wall anchor in placeNot yet. The guns aren’t even available yet to most people who want one.
Yeah, I know "they" say it's OK to dry fire some rimfires, but I still use Snap-Caps in my .22s anyway ... better safe than sorry.

Good policy, but I like to see for myself when a manufacturer claims it’s OK. I know the manufacturer will fix it at their expense so it doesn’t bother me in the least.Yeah, I know "they" say it's OK to dry fire some rimfires, but I still use Snap-Caps in my .22s anyway ... better safe than sorry.
What sig says is to use the dry fire plug they supply.
I’m waiting for a revision, or it’s likely the (hate to say) Taurus TX-22. They do appear to be highly reliable, and less expensive.
BS, they say it’s an option for people who have anxiety about dry firing rimfire, but that it’s perfectly safe to do it without the chamber flag.What sig says is to use the dry fire plug they supply.
I wouldn’t hold off on it for that reason. If I didn’t dry fire it I’m sure it would’ve been fine. The Sig is my best .22 pistol. Ruger claims their SR22 and LCP22 are dry fire safe and I broke those two as well. The SR22 is a decent gun but the LCP22 is a total POS and will break with 500 clicks or less.Wow… that sucks .. !!

Call Sig and get a RMA.. it should be well under warranty.
I’m
I have other rime fire 22LR which I dry fire most every day and still doing good..
Good luck fixing it
No worries.. just wondering why it’s so bad and I don’t think it was yr fault..I wouldn’t hold off on it for that reason. If I didn’t dry fire it I’m sure it would’ve been fine.

As I thought, just another GIMMICK Gun From Sig.Plus LACK Of Quality Control In Manufacture.I’m about 2500 rds into it and the firing pin or the return spring is broken because it’ll only fire about every other round with lots of light strikes and some of the casings have no strike marks.

I never dry fire anything without a snap cap, I don't understand why any company would suggest it's okay to dry fire any rimfire. It doesn't make sense at all due to design, since when has a firing pin that is designed to strike reasonably soft brass okay to impact the hardened steel the barrel chamber?

Did you try cleaning out the firing pin chamber? There might me junk and residue in there holding up the pin. It's a known problem. When I clean my 322; I use a Dental Pick inside the chamber. It gets junk out of there every time....
So you have broken at least 3 22 pistols?I wouldn’t hold off on it for that reason. If I didn’t dry fire it I’m sure it would’ve been fine. The Sig is my best .22 pistol.
