I've owned all of these except a .22 short Jetfire.
Bobcat .22's and the Tomcat .32 are the least reliable of them. My Tomcat cracked the frame then the slide. The slide break was a show-stopper.
The .25's are very reliable after break-in. Keep them clean.
To clear a stoppage look and see what kind of malfunction you have. If it's a bullet Fed high make a fist or use your palm to smack down over the cartridge/chamber area. This will usually chamber the round and won't pinch you. At least not much.
A stove pipe you can usually pluck. They don't sweep out well. Same goes for a fired case stuck length-wise.
If these remedial dont work pop up the barrel and that should clear it but do NOT rack the slide until the chamber is empty and action clear.
If you have a case stuck in the barrel, which I've never seen happen with the. 25"s, its out of the fight as far as firing bullets.
Reloads aren't really slow. I have a pouch that holds two mags on my belt. Eject mag with firing hand thumb while reaching for new one. Put new mag in gun, rack slide and go.
This is easier with a Bobcat than a Jetfire because of the fatter grip and larger mag body.
The most I've fired from one Beretta .25 in a session was between 250 and 300 rds. I had about 3 stoppages in the 1st half attributed to two Mecgar mags I tossed. I have one Mecgar that works but all the others are Beretta made. In most guns Mecgar mags are great and even used from the factory. But I do not reccomend then in the .25 Berettas. The test was to see if it would run dirty and they will, but honestly the chances of a stoppage go up after 50-100 rounds. But it doesn't seem to get worse after that.
