The oil you observed, is "preservative", not lubrication in nature. This includes what your magazines had on them, and it becomes a somewhat sticky mess.
Sigs are tight, and have strong springs when new, as they start the long process of wearing in, then out. If you page back through a lot of the threads, here on the forum, you will notice a trend. New weapons need to be cleaned of their preservatives, and lubricated before a first successful range experience. Grease where things slide, and oil where they pivot, or rotate.
In most cases I believe 9mm 115 grain is a little light on power to break in most of these new Sigs. Once broken in, they should function fine, but that could take maybe 500 rounds minimum.
Get her cleaned and lubricated well, and your next range visit shouldn't be so frantic!
