. LESSON LEARNED- particularly for your defensive rounds, carefully inspect each one as you load it into the magazine.

I don't carry any rounds that I have not actually "Chambered", (for self defense).
Chamber sizes vary slightly, and though inspecting each cartridge for defects is good advice, it might not tell the whole story. If you actually chamber each round you intend to carry, then you can be reasonably certain it will not give you any problems. It just takes a minute.
Glad you got the pistol un-jammed. Thanks.. for sharing your experience.
