Sigma 9mm jams and fixing it won't help?

My Sigma 9mm jams all the time. Several different shooters including 2 certified instructors that shot and loaded the magazines, but it still jams after 3 shots. Tried 10 different ammunitions and 4 different magazines. Had it since December. Sent back three time to S&W for repairs and it still jams. S&W overhauled it and send new magazines each time, but no luck. Any suggestions?

Update:

I have been offered only $100 trade in, so that's not an option. I don't have any extra money to spend.

    Unfortunately your Sigma is doing what most Sigmas do. I had a 40sw Sigma and after the first month it jammed every third shot. Even after taking it to a S&W gunsmith it jammed.

    Your best bet is to trade or sell it to a gun shop or with a friend who wants a challenge. That is what I did. If you are getting 100 bucks consider yourself lucky. Sorry but the only other thing is to keep it and single shoot it. Not much fun but at least it will fire. If Smith and Wesson cannot fix their own product then you are kinda out of luck unless you can get them to exchange it which depending on when you got it, it should be under warranty.

    I have an idea. Sell the sigma and buy a model 686. That'll never jam on you. And its got some better stopping power.
