Yes but apparently it cannot get through even a single magazine without a failure. Unacceptable in a self-defense firearm.
My father grew up on a government experiment station that had a gun range used by Col. Thompson to first demonstrate to the army his submachine gun with a compensator. Dad, a fresh young fellow, commented to the officers attending that he was surprised that the submachine gun worked without jamming, unlike the 1911 pistol. A general who was there was indignant, so Dad pointed to four or five other officers who had government-issued sidearms with them and suggested they prove him wrong. None of them was able to empty a magazine without a jam or stovepipe. Of course, the 1911 can be “touched up” and loosening it up with wear improves its reliability, but as a personal defense weapon, you can really only count on the first round.
