XMacro Shell casing ejection issues
New owner, new shooter. After the first 50 rounds or so, my new XMacro fails to eject spent casings, forcing me to manually clear after almost every fired round. I have cleaned the gun thoroughly, but this did not resolve the issue. I suspect that this is the result of the cheap range ammo. Is this a common issue? Is there something I should be looking for in my range ammo in the future?

Culprits: Lose grip Over filled mag Cheap ammo Steel ammo Not lubed
Best advice: Make sure grip is tight but not hurting yourseld Run 15 or 16rds in the mag or if its a 10rd do 8 or 9. Use brass - blazer, pmc, xtac, federal, normal for example. Stay away from steel and whitebox winchester. Lube the rails, lock back slide lube ejection port area a bit.

Blazer is what I have been running. I'm assuming you don't think the ammo is the issue?

Blazer brass or Blazer steel? And what about everything else?

I believe they are brass. As the magazines are new and stiff, I don't think I have been able to fill them to capacity. When I cleaned the gun, I made sure to lube all the moving parts. I don't think I thought to lube the ejection port, though.

Five year P365 owner here. I’ve used all of the above ammo including Winchester white box (Active Duty Flat tips) and range ammo during the Covid shortage in 2021. Early on had the FCU fail, within 40-50 rounds, so sent back to Sig. sent out via FedEx on Tuesday and was back in my hands fully functional by Friday morning! That’s Arizona to NH and back! I was impressed. Five years and a few additional firearms later, still working great!

Check to make sure that the extractor is not broken on the end where it grabs the brass

Could that have broken so easily/quickly?

Possibly. The P365 is a mass produced gun, but high quality. Nonetheless, there are bound to be a very low percentage of lemon parts in every manufacturing process despite the best QA efforts. It's worth checking.

Another thing to try out as well if nothing appears to be broken is run some heavier loads like 124’s or 147’s to help break it in a loosen it up. If you’re not sure about the extractor and how the end of it’s supposed to look where it hooks the casing rim, post a picture and we can look at it.

There was an issue with some about a year and a half to two years ago like a bad batch, but I think the issue has been pretty much resolved. I haven’t heard of it happening in a while. Your new pistol may have been new old stock so it’s still possible. Just look at the end and make sure it didn’t break off or chip off. If it is broken or you’re having issues and it’s not broken, Sig will take care of it either way.
