Doubs, it is going back so not an issue....it had a grace period with the purchase of 24 hours.
How about an observation/guess tho for debates sake as many have this non cycling issue.
The barrel is 'stout' and a modern recent piece...from the 1970's/80's I'd guess based upon the sights. I believe it could take plus P honestly (the barrel alone) as it is thick and newer.
The recoil, or a great deal of it, is absorbed by the mass of that barrel hence the failure to extract. If shot with a stock (+P) it cycles. If I remove the stock and 'limp wrist it' it stove pipes the brass...so long enough to extract but not enough to clear the receiver. So, the +P is just at the edge. presently, of operation. The brass does not go as far as my other Lugers but they clear nicely.
If that is the case...how much impulse is being sent to the action/bolt/toggle mechanism if it just barely operates? I understand you'd not want plus P or a hot round in an original barrel but would that be as critical in a modern bore/chamber?
For discussions sake.
