A female co-worker and I decided to take the concealed handgun license course last week. She had zero experiece with pistols. She bought Kahr 9mm because the police chief recommended it to her and I own one with 100% perfect experience. I recomended the S&W J frame in .38 for simplicity but she was sold on the semi auto.
2 weeks ago we went to the local range so I could teach her how to shoot. Her Kahr jammed on almost every shot. My Kahr has never jammed once but when I let her try mine it jammed consistently also.
I told her to forget the Kahr and use one of my high end SIGs. Same fricking thing, consistent jamming. My SIGs have always performed flawlessly.
The guy running the shooting range told us she was limpwristing the gun and did not have the mass or strength to shoot it and that was causing the malfunctions. This is a very petite lady but I never thought lack of mass and strength could cause jamming.
Long story short, while qualifying for her license at the course my SIG started jamming every round. The Instructor told me I needed to learn how to clean my guns and gave her his 1911 which performed perfectly, zero jams.
First of all, has any of you heard about this issue? Second, my manhood is bruised because the 1911 performed when my SIG would not. A guy at the range told me the design of the 1911 is not dependent on the shooting scenario the way other pistols are. Whats up with that?
BTW, I have put over 500 rounds through that SIG after she shot with not one jam.
