Dollar An Hour

I've had my Kahr PM9 almost a year. In the first 200 rounds I had a couple of hang-ups, but that's pretty normal with a new Kahr and the manual even mentions a 200 round break-in period.
Between about 175-500 rounds, the Kahr ran like a champ. I cleaned & lubed it after every range trip, running mostly Fiocchi 124gr FMJ and about 100 rounds of Speer GD 124gr.
In the last 100 rounds of Gold Dot carry ammo (over 2 range sessions with a cleaning in between), I've had 3 rounds hang up on the feed ramp. Now I'm hesitant to trust it to go bang when I need it to.
I also have noticed that at the end of a mag when I load the next mag it doesn't slingshot reliably the first time - it takes a few deliberate tries. (Kahr specifies that you chamber the 1st round by slingshot instead of slide release).
I'm going back to J-Frame for pocket carry duties until this is resolved.
Should I send it back to Kahr?
