I just got my new Sig P290RS w/factory laser today. I really like it. Can't wait to get it to the range tomorrow. But the Sig manual says that using reloads voids the warranty! What? I had not bought a new gun in quite a while and I generally never read the directions when I did. Is that common? Is it just some CYA thing?
Yeah, I get the hot handload problem, but all I would shoot would be commercial, reloaded target ammo. The manual does not even specify pressures or +P categories. I says, "Use only high-quality, factory manufactured ammunition...of the caliber for which your firearm is chambered."
So if I take the manual at face value, I could shoot 9mm +P+ ammo in it, but standard pressure reloads void the warranty. I know there is a really low risk and that there is no way they would ever know. It's one of those "lawyer statements." I just find it irritating and what would be a better place to vent than here? :sarcastic:
1. SAFETY FIRST:
Risk of an accident is greatly increased when any semiautomatic
pistol, no matter how safely designed, is carried with a cartridge in
the chamber. THIS PRACTICE IS NOT RECOMMENDED AND MAY BE
JUSTIFIED ONLY IN CIRCUMSTANCE OF CLEAR AND PRESENT
DANGER WHEN THE PISTOL MAY IMMEDIATELY HAVE TO BE USED IN
SELF-DEFENSE. By far the safest procedure when carrying a loaded pistol is
to leave the chamber empty.
WARNING
Securing your firearm may inhibit access to it in a defense situation and
result in injury or death.
WARNING
Failure to properly secure a firearm may result in injury or death.
I think you may need to reread the manuals, +p+ is rarely recommended
