It is possible to have a misfeed if the arms are not kept stiff enough during the recoil. This problem doesn't exist with a revolver.

Very good point . I have seen big strong men , whose limp wristed hold caused a malfunction .

My personal experience bears out what both you and !1776! said. The first time I went to the range with my Kel-Tec .380 pocket pistol, I had a “failure to eject” in the first six rounds. I realized I had limp-wristed it, and had no more problems when I used a firm grip and adequate recoil resistance.
