It has been discovered that some of, if not all, the earlier COMPACT Sig Sauer 1911 models have improperly machined barrels which causes problems such as a failure to chamber, cracked barrel bushings, and more.
Here are some pictures from other posts that will show you what to look for:
This image demonstrates contact on the barrel lugs.
This image shows where the barrel bushing is being contacted and usually will crack.
This image displays the improperly machined areas of the barrel.

The fix:
Contact Sig Sauer by phone or email and speak solely with Victoria Martin. Explain the problem and symptoms. She should provide a RMA #, return shipping label, and packages instructions. The handgun will be fixed free of charge and returned, usually with 1 week.
Email and phone number are,
