Well, yes. He organized a failed putsch in 1923 or so. He didn't spend much time in jail, according to the book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, this period of German History had a lot of sympathy for these sorts if right-wing ideas and hence his short sentence for what was basically Treason. During this period Hitler had to be a bit more circumscribed as he still had to deal with Ernst Roehm, who controlled the SA. Also I don't think Hitler had created his SS yet. Nonetheless, the SA( or brownshirts) could be a problem. Don't forget the Communists were quite active and were openly advocating a violent takeover. The National Socialists weren't so straightforward in their motives and the middle class, terrified by the Communist spectre, fled to the National Socialist banner.
