Yes - failure to eject. It hangs with the new shell partly in and the casing stuck in the slide (I think I said that right). It’s scary when it jams like that.It sucks to just burn through ammo at today’s prices but it’s possible that it needs a little more break-in time. My P250 is in .357 Sig and I haven’t had any malfunction with it… I’m not sure if I’ve ever fired .380 in any weapon 🤔
What exactly is your “jam” I’m assuming it’s a failure to eject, FTE but you might need to clarify.
That's a stovepipe. Pretty common malfunction, and nothing to be scared of (unless what you're saying is you're scared of it happening while you're trying to defend yourself). Common culprits can include underpowered ammunition and limp wristing.Yes - failure to eject. It hangs with the new shell partly in and the casing stuck in the slide (I think I said that right).

You need to run hot ammo through that gun, don't be afraid to fire some JHP or 380+P rounds through it. Sigs love hot ammo. Any anemic ammo, such as UMC and WWB will make most Glocks, Sigs, HK hiccup.Hi I need some advice. I apologize for the long post.
Short version: is I have a P250 .380 that randomly malfunctions. It might happen on the first shot or the fifteenth but it always happens. It jams ejecting a casing.
Long version: About 8 years ago I bought a new P250 .380 subcompact for personal protection. After shooting 20 rounds and having the gun malfunction 3 times, I gave up, and put it away.
In the years that followed I’ve tried three times to shoot and it will always jam. Not usually on the first shot but always within a mag or two. I’ve put less than 100 rounds through it because of the constant problems.
I have broken it down and cleaned and oiled it repeatedly.
I took it to a gun professional (range instructor) who cleaned and oiled it for me - didn’t see anything wrong although he didn’t shoot it.
A gun store owner told me I was probably using inferior (cheap) ammunition. I’m not, I was using Remington UMC but I bought a box of Winchester cartridges from him. He also quickly oiled the gun but said it looked good.
He said I am probably pulling the gun high after firing. I’m not and my targets are proof and it jjammed after 15 rounds with the Winchester ammunition.
I have a Glock 9mm that is awesome and I don’t have any problems with but wanted the Sig because it is smaller and can be concealed.
I am so frustrated with this gun and don’t know where to turn. Any ideas or suggestions?
