Heck!!! those problems will not happen in any Norincos :D :D :D :D :D

Kidding aside.
I bought my wife a SIG 226R. She loves it. Never had any issue with it fresh from the box. IMHO, SIG's design is different from other handguns. It actually felt kinda wierd in my hand the first time I handled my 226. It took me a little bit of getting use to the feel of the grip and thumb rest. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Like you said, your instructor never had a misfire or faiure to feed issue when he shot your 226.
Some brand new guns need breaking in and I am sure some new shooters needs breaking in as well. :D :D
Shoot another 1000 rounds thru it... Let us know what happen............... Congratulations on your new SIG:)

maybe I am limb-wrist since my instructor never got my problem,he shot about 15 rounds. but anyway,I shot cz75 and glock before,the similar thing never happened to me. limb-wrist would be the bad issue for used guns?

The CZ is a full steel framed(heavier) gun with a lower bore axis. The glock with it funny grip angle and relatively low bore axis help most to handle recoil.

I would believe that any limp wristing will give rise to easier FTEs on the Sig.
 
You mentioned Winchester ammo - I have a fairly new HK USP in 9mm, and when it was brand new and I was trying different types of ammo to see what it liked best, Winchester white box 9mm target loads were one of them, and almost every casing was stovepiping. The loads just weren't powerful enough to push the slide back far enough with the new spring. I switched to regular loads and after a hundred rounds or so it would shoot anything no problem. Sounds to me like you're having the same problem.

Another couple trips to the range using another type of ammo and that 226 will shoot anything.

A couple of years ago I was attending an IPSC match and a shooter (who was a BC Sheriff) was using Winchester White Box 9mm ammo. At the chrono stage, he barely made Minor with the ammo it was so underpowered.

wow, your experiences with WWB are the opposite of mine, with 124gr it is around 140+ pf, and 147gr is around 145+ pf.
 
This was the BC Sheriff's Dept "training ammo"....IIRC, there was an issue a few years ago with the 9mmP WB ammo being underpowered....I daresay that's been corrected by now, but p226 may well have been using an older batch...? I do know that their .223 WB ammo is excellent.

actually 115gr WWB is more powerful than remingtons or american eagles 115gr ammo...
 
I would say try other ammo, if it still happends after 500 rounds you got a problematic gun. Maybe extractor is messed up.... Brake in period shouldn't be an exuse for poor reliability...
