I wouldnt carry this gun for protection yet since its just not 100% reliable yet. After I run a few hundred more rounds through it, i'll re-evaluate that.
Keep in mind the magazine and the shape of the round can factor into that alot. I'm trying different combinations to see whats going to work best and be the most reliable for mine. Worse thing that can happen is you have to shoot it more often!
