I just purchased a P290RS in 9mm. Took it out for a shoot and put 150 rounds through it without a single malfunction. I used the cheapest white box Winchester and Federal ammunition that I had. I believe that some firearms are ammo sensitive, but from what I've read the 290 should be pretty reliable right out of the box. Try some different ammo, especially the type you plan on carrying and keep us informed on your progress.
I bought the 290 because I am new to CHL and like the fact that it has a long/heavy trigger pull as that makes it much safer for carry (for me). After hearing about an accident at a local shooting range involving a shooter that inadvertently shot himself (he was using an inner waistband appendix carry holster), I figure that the DAO with a long pull, heavy trigger is the way to go.
BTW- I own a Beretta 92FS and it will eat everything but the cheap Winchester white box ammo that my little Sig seems to shoot without any malfunctions. Go figure.
