I think the problem with the slide not coming all the way forward without a push after shooting through a few magazines is from either powder fouling or inadequate lubrication. One shooter sprays his with powder solvent when this happens and says that takes care of it. I have switched to using TW25b NRA synthetic gun grease on the slide and frame rails which eliminated the problem for me. The live round on the ground problem is very similar to the live round stovepipe. In my case, the round was flipping up out of the magazine sporadically without contacting the feed ramp due to the mag lips being spread to wide, instead of guiding the round all the way forward before releasing it.
