I would shoot them, just to better understand the limits of that particular ammo (since it was in a mag in your pocket, I'm assuming this is carry ammo).

For my carry guns, I like to at least once shoot them, without cleaning, to the point where I experience failures. This is kind of the same idea. I want to have confidence that my gun will still function fine even if I haven't cleaned it in a while. That said, I also faithfully clean my guns after every range session.
