Yup, That was my second thought after cutting a edge into the Nub and using the screw driver.

So you got it out by cutting a slot in it?

Nah i havent touched it yet, but another member suggested I cut the slot on the 1st page which was my first thinking. However at the bottom of page one I posted that i was offered by a IP today that if i buy the part they will help me out. They are good ppl and I have done Business with them a few times.. Still its a very nice offer.

Darn! I was hoping you could get a hold of it somehow and turn it so that you could remove the slide and make the repair yourself. I love my P228 and P938, but have to share that the front sight tru glow fiber part of the optic came off of the P938 while firing it. The good news is that I could still fire the gun accurately: the front sight is still very visible. I found the fiber and glued it back in.

I think that he will have to use a tap instead of an easy-out. Doesn't that little lever turn clockwise? Easy-outs turn counter-clockwise to remove right-hand screws. (I don't own a Sig so maybe you've got it right.)

My love affair with JB Kwik would have that sucker out in 10 minutes.
Drill a hole in the nub. Drill same size hole in the end of an allen head screw.
Cut the drill shank off and use it and JB Kwik to fuse the nub and the screw together.
Half the shank would go into the nub and the portion of the shank sticking above the nub would go into the end of the screw.
Then an allen wrench to turn it left or right.

I'd send it back. Hard to tell for sure seeing it over a phone screen, but that break looks to me like the part was defective from day one. Thinking they look at that break and say the same. Nothing on your pistol says abuse.
You need new night sights anyway. Save your time, let the factory clean it up and respring it, and you position the factory to have been the last one into your pistol should anything else go wrong in the near future. My .02.

Any day I don't have to trust UPS or Fed Ex with my gun is a good day. But replacing the night sights changes things.

Its ruined. Sell it to me for $50. I'll use it for parts.
If you insist on trying yourself, get the tapered square screw extractors, not the spiral threads. Square goes either direction.

I agree. They said if it was within the first year they would have covered it but because its a Older pistol, they would send me a a return label but it would be on my dime. I told him that sucks especially when i seen online by doing a quick search that others have had this happen and they said it was cause Sig had outsourced the part and it was made of cheap Material.. to that he was very quiet.
I was real proud of finally getting a Sig 226 years ago, a smith laughed and told me I'd be seeing him down the road because of all the cast parts vs. steel in the older models

That is what I would do. Less chance of damage. Easy outs work.
