No.

There are many low-quality pistols in .380, but this is not related to the caliber. If it is a reliable model, it won't jam more than any reliable larger caliber. Badly designed and sloppily made pistols will jam, quality pistols will work perfectly.

For instance, SIG Sauer P230 is chambered in .380 and is one of the most reliable pistols out there.

Why is a 357magnum Sig sauer p226 the best pistol?

It's not the best to everyone. If someone told you it is the best, that was an opinion. It may be many people's favorite. I like SIG Sauer's just fine, but there are many other brands and calibers out there. It depends on what the use of a gun is.This pistol is good if you want a full sized pistol that holds a decent amount of rounds. It is designed to hold 12 in the magazine. In California and some states citizens are limited to 10 round magazines.This caliber is interesting because it started out with the .40 S&W case and necked it down and uses a 9mm bullet. It is not similar to the .357 magnum, mostly chambered in revolvers. It is a fast bullet as far as semiautomatic pistols go.The sig does not make a 357 magnum in a semi auto, they do however make a pistol chambered for the 357 sig caliber. There are only two manufacturers, to my knowledge, that make a semi auto chambered for a 357 mag, Coonan Arms and Magnum Research Desert Eagle, all other 357 mags are either revolver or rifle.

Do they make a 38 caliber in semi-auto-matic?

Yes- but not very common. There is an automatic pistol caliber known as the .38 Super, which does not interchange with the .38 Special revolver cartridge. There have been a small number of target pistols built to shoot .38 Special Wadcutter target ammo. And there is at least one auto pistol made in caliber .357 Magnum (revolver cartridge). However, revolver ammo is rimmed, and auto pistol ammo is rimless- there are usually feeding problems when an auto pistol is made for revolver ammo.
