Thanks for all the responses.

She was merely trying out this gun, not unlike taking a spin in a car you don't own just to check it out,
so it was not at all her 'go-to' defense gun. Matter of fact it isn't mine either but dang, it's a good shooter!
She has small hands, so finding something that fits can often be challenging. What has worked for her in the past
is an LC-9, Beretta Px4, and an M&P 40 Shield. Ok, she doesn't know the last one is coming in from Santa Claus. Today when I put the 45 in question back in her hand, I noticed that she did indeed need to rotate her hand more or less counter-clockwise to compensate for not being able to completely reach the trigger. Not a lot, but enough that there's noticeable asymmetrical pressure in relation to the left side.

Ok, thanks very much for the input. No insult taken. It just seemed odd to me that this is the only gun she's had this sort of trouble with.

I suppose the best solution is to go back to the range and have her spend some quality time with an instructor. Thanks again.

Did you watch the video of her shooting?

Hmm. It doesn't occur with any of the others we shoot.

She's got a pretty decent grip, and she took training from an ex-HPD officer before she got her CHL so it's not as though she is a beginner.

Not saying that's not it, but in the video I don't see the gun jumping upwards all that much whilst she is shooting.

The wife and I went shooting today, this is odd but here goes.

In particular, we were at one point shooting an FNH-X-45. Sweet. For me it was. Her? Not so much.

Here's what happened. Nearly every round she shot, the brass would not fully eject and ergo jam. Almost every time.
I took a short video and here's a representative sample:

Yet, I could shoot the same weapon, using the same ammo, and it worked flawlessly. Every time.

Ammo was 230 gr. I don't see where she was doing anything wrong.

In the words of a statesman whose name escapes me, 'riddle me that, Batman.'

Any ideas?
