Any semi auto with stove pipe is you limp wrist it when you are firing. I guarantee that it is the person firing the gun and not the gun or the ammo used. If a round has the primer contacted then it not the gun. My little brother has a p250 and I have shot it several times, its a good shooting gun. Guy next to me at work has one also and loves it as well and never had a problem out of it.
I did some digging afterwards and found that others have had the same issues with those two pistols. Since then, I'm not too enthused about the US made Sigs.

If she were new to shooting and had this issues with other pistols I would agree with shooter error. Be she has shot quite a bit and several different pistols and has never had a stove pipe issue. Plus the P250 was a 9mm and she is used to shooting .40cal. She has a P239 in .40 so thinking she is afraid of the recoil is out the window. The FTF happened with both of us and it would fire the round if you pulled the trigger again, so much for the ammo theory. We tried a P238 and it had similar FTF issues too.

I have owned Glocks for 20 years. There is nothing better as far as I'm concerned. Very low maintenence, accurate enough at self defence distance. Absolutely the top of the line! None of my Glocks has ever jammed. Look at the torture tests. Decide for yourself!
