So i finally took it back out today with both mags that have pinky extensions and both are popping out when shooting.
I then intentionally hold the gun a weird way with my fingers absolutely nowhere near the mag release and it pops out still.
Then, I get to thinking...when I shot it before I would carry it with the longer mag that has the extension...and at the range use the flush mag so I didnt have to unload my carry mag.
I really think its something weird with the way I grip the gun and it puts pressure on the mag and is disengaging it from the mag release inside. I get my pinky on there pretty snug and when I do...the mag pops out. If I put my pinky UNDER the mag, it never pops loose nor did it ever do so with the flush mag which is why I probably never had it happen before...I just carried the extended mag.
So now I gotta figure out a good way to hold the gun, or quit using the extended mag. I wish I had brought the flush mag with me today but I never thought that could possibly be a cause...so hopefully Friday I can take it out with the flush mag and see what happens. If it stays in, looks like I'll have a pair of factory extended Sig mags up for grabs

I really like the gun alot...and had never had that problem until recently but only shot the flush mags. I'll go back to them and hopefully be happy again.
Man I hope the flush mags work for you. It sucks having bad feelings about a gun you really like. GOOD LUCK!!
I and my wife have never had that problem with either mags we have both also. Somethings not right, weak spring something bent, etc. I would send it back for repair. Might do some other things to it while it is there. We have found ours to be reliable.
One of the mags is one I've been carrying for about two years but the other extended mag is brand new and that was its first range trip, and the first time I'd shot either like that. Thats why I think its with the way my hand hits the basepad and dislodges it.
So I shot about 150 rounds today with the flush mag without a single issue. Looks like I've got something weird going on with me and those pinky extender mags...so away they will go.
One was bought at a LGS 2 or so years ago and the other from a dealer at a gun show about a month ago...so its not like it was a bad batch...just something with me and those mags dont get along.
Bummer...but at least I get to keep the gun

This is an interesting read...apparently its not "me" and those mags...its alot of people and those mags. WTF

Interesting read. My wife shoots the P938 and hasn't experienced any mag issues. She has the pinky extension on hers.
I need to read through the whole thing better tomorrow but it is good to know its not just me.
I have seen before someone offers a mag spring and follower upgrade for the 6 rounds to add an additional round...I'll look into those in the meantime. I shot the 150 rounds today with a flush mag just fine and dont know if its worth the hassle of sending the gun into Sig to hope they can make the extended mags run.
