recently my p229 9mm has been failing to extract the empty round...causing a jam. It was winchester white box 115 gr walmart. Ive shot about 1500 rounds of mostly white box 115 winchester before this started happening?? now that was about three years ago so the ammo could be different now idk, and the guns been cleaned every time before shooting, idk why this is happening now but can anybody please help please??

Sounds like a extractor problem. All p229's that I have ever seen can eat any garbage ammo without issue. Mine has never had a problem with anything.
Sig will fix it for free.

Calmly and quietly swap it out for a .40 S&W, that should fix a lot of issues.

In all seriousness though... you clean your gun before shooting? Rather than after? Or, before and after?

I suppose that's somewhat irrelevant, as long as it is clean in the end... just way easier to clean after shooting before the carbon has really set.

In my Walther PPKs, sometimes I get stove pipes if, when I loaded the magazine, I didn't ensure each round was firmly seated against the back of the magazine while loading into the magazine. Not sure why that caused stove pipes rather than just jams... but ensure that isn't an issue.

Sounds like the extractor spring may need to be replaced. Or the extractor itself.

I'm not up to your round count yet, mine's still new. Any gun would be proud to have run the several hundred rounds that my p229 SAS has without a single problem...hope this continues!

Problems with case extracting 9mm

WWB leaves a black coating on everything. First check that the chamber of the barrel is clean. You can use an oversized bronze brush and get the black carbon or what ever it is out the chamber.

Next, have you recently changed the recoil spring? (may be too strong or put on backwards. Small end on first)

Then see if extractor hook has any black crud in it. Clean the hook real good and the indent opposite the extractor on the other side of the breech. The extractor holds the right side of the case rim and the indent holds the left side. Look closely at the extractor hook and see if part of it is missing. If you need a new one order the 1200459 would be my recommendation.

Out of curiosity, what extractor does your P229 has, long or short???

Wow, there's a useful addition to the thread...

There are several things that could potentially cause your issue, sounds like clean and lube is under control, could be a bad extractor/spring/plunger, worn recoil spring. My bet is on the extractor, I'd call SIG customer service, get a call tag and let them tack care of it.
