The 229 is an amazing gun, but totally different than the 290. The 290 is close to a 'mouse gun' in terms of size and construction. Those guns typically need to loosen up a little.

I've had a couple of different guns where within the first 100 rounds or so, I got a stove pipe or other malfunction, but then never a malfunction again.
My Glock 32 (I know... even a Glock!! ) had a Failure to Feed in the first magazine. It's run 2000+ rounds since with no issues.

Keep shooting it. If it's new, it may just need to be loosened up or 'broken in'.
I know I won't carry a gun until it can run HUNDREDS (for me at least 500+) without an issue.
Smaller guns have less tolerance sometimes, so failures are common in the first couple of hundred rounds.

I would keep shooting it and see how it goes. If the malfunction is frequent, send to Sig.
