Bought a Sig P250 compact 9mm (old frame design), marked 27 APR 2009 on the case, went to the range tonight with 190 rounds of Blazer fmj 115 Gr and i had 4 jams at the range. If i had to go out on the limb here, id say it was one jam per box of ammo.

Each jam was the same type of jam, as the round was ejecting, it would always get caught in the upper right ejection port between the top of the barrel and the top right back of the slide slightly above the extractor claw with the primer of the shells always toward the front sight. The gun FTF due too the jamming each time. The gun would only kick shells back at me every once in awhile, but did that almost every time after the third jam.

The spent shells from gun were not thrown more then a foot and a half from the gun.

I dont know what to do, other then send it back to Sig, I'm going to take it back to the shop, before calling Sig and see if they might be able to tell me if I'm doing something wrong far as lubrication goes. The manual with my pistol, doesn't really go into detail as far as where to lubricate like other manuals so i lubricated the pistol like you would a Glock and S&W M&P, i put a thin coat of CLP on the bottom of the hammer ramp on the slide too.

Is there something I'm doing wrong or does this pistol need to go back to Sig?.

I know pistols can jam during the break in process, but it shouldn't jam like this. Other then that, I'm happy with the trigger on the pistol and the accuracy, the only thing keeping this from being one of the best pistol I've owned, is the jamming.

Take it back to the shop first, then if they can't help, send it to Sig. There have been ejector issues in the past.

They advised me to try some brass case ammo, they also advised that it might still need to be broken in. I'm going to the range again tonight, i think It's a problem with the mag. I'm going to try one box of Federal Champion and see what it does. I'll take photos of the jams too.

Went back to the range today and fired 150 rounds of Blazer 115 Gr. Fmj, this time i only had two jams. I noted my round count on each jam, both jams were at 13 + 1. That being said, i think It's a problem with the mag and not the gun.

I'm going to call Sig and see if they will replace the mag.

I called up the gun shop where i bought the gun and they offered to exchange my mag. Went to the range today with 100 rounds of Blazer 115 Gr. Fmj, no jams.

If your having issues with your Sig P250 jamming, take a look at your mag. Note the round count when it jam's and write that down to see if theres a pattern like mine did.

My old mag was only marked with a 10 rd hole and had 12 coils on the spring, my new mag is marked with a 16 rd hole and has 10 coils on the spring. If you sent your gun to Sig and they sent it back without finding a problem and your mag is the same as my old mag, I'm willing to bet It's a mag issue.

What ammo are you using ? I've had no trouble at all with any factory loads, including Wolf and Herters. I had trouble with my own loads(mouse loads), but once I loaded some a bit hotter, it was trouble free. It definitely requires full power ammo.

Hate to bring up an old thread but I'm have a feeding problem with my P250. Almost every time I put in a mag and rack the slide, I get at least one jam. After reading this thread last night, I looked at my mag and saw that I have 3 holes on the mag. The first is marked 5, the second is marked 10 and the third is blank. I took the spring out and it appears to have 12 coils. I'm wondering if this may be my problem. I bought mine back in Dec of 2009 and the "born date" is Sept. 2009. I may try giving Sig a call to see what they say.

Sorry it took so long to reply back, did the replacement mag fix your issues?

I just recenlty bought a Sig P229 9mm and i love it, no problems. I still love my P250 9mm too. I've notice alot being said about the lack of QC with Sig products lately, i also read that the former CEO of a company, i think it was Para Ordnance, who ran that company in the ground because of greed and no care for quality, is now running Sig Sauer USA. I hope this is not true.
