My opinion, i would not carry that gun for self defense until at least 75-100 rounds through it without a malfunction. I would think that even a bit limp-wristed, it would partially strip the round from the magazine. With an empty chamber and full magazine, draw the slide very slowly back and see if it starts to strip a round, and feed it, even if it hangs up at the ramp. I expect it would. don't let your life or the lives of your family rely on the hope that that gun will mysteriously correct whatever caused the malfunction without attention.
