Default ammo jam on shield 40

Is anyone having ammo jams with shield 40? I brought a used shield 40 and took it to the range and ammo jammed probably ever other round.

You have to be a bit more descriptive, saying the "....gun jams, what's wrong with it" is exactly like if you were on a car forum and asked "My car isn't running right, what's wrong with it". See the point?

There are many things that people may describe as a "jam" that may or may not be a jam, which BTW is properly described as a "stoppage", but no one ever uses that! There are over a dozen things that can cause a stoppage, gun related, magazine, ammunition, shooter, and several different things related to each.

I have had multiple stoppages with my 4006 that I defy anyone to explain or duplicate! Only one brass brand and only one powder type. It is absolutely impossible to imagine a scenario that would cause it, but it has happened several times!

What brand and type of ammo would help? Is it jamming upon extracting or when loading a round?
