I just purchased a Sig P-290 for CCW. I really like this little pistol when it fires. Which brings me to the problem. I am getting light primer strikes. The pistol will not fire more times than it will fire. I am using the TULAMMO and have never had a problem with it in any of my other pistols. I tried some in my Kahr just to see if maybe I got a bad batch of ammo, and they all fired just fine. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem? I really don't want to send it to Sig, but I will if I have to. Maybe some of you guys can guide me in the right direction so I won't have to send it off. If I can get it to shoot it will make a nice little ccw pistol. The few times it did fire the trigger was smooth, and it is very accurate for such a small pistol. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
