No, but my experience with the Walther P22 doesn't leave a good impression.
On another note, I shot my father's Stoeger today. It did jam once, but that was on the very first magazine. I don't know that I would hold that against it just yet. It's a neat pistol, but seems bulky. The grip angle is a bit straighter than that of my Glock 21, which I find odd when moving directly from the Glock. My impression though, is that a glock 17 might be more of what I'm looking for, because I'm simply more used to the glock, and the slide is much lower profile than that of the Stoeger.
I found myself shooting low with the Stoeger. That, I think, might be due to the grip angle, or the fact that my glock is .45, and I might be unwittingly compensating for recoil. I admit, I'm not the best with a pistol. I really need to practice. I remember being better at it, but that's when I used to shoot it all the time. Hell, this is the first time in a couple of years that I shot a pistol. I know, I should be ashamed. Still, I did shoot a lot better with the old glock 21. I love that pistol.
