Light primer strikes

which makes no sense at all, but as long as you're happy boss. Sounds like you know what's up, next time don't even bother asking us.

It makes total sense. He has one of the lightest connectors on the market, yet he's using factory ammo. It actually is the ammo; the primers are not seated deep enough. I can 100% guarantee you that if he were reloading and all things were the same except primer depth, he would be 100%.

Connectors have nothing to do with strikers and the power the strikers strike with. Springs and crud in the striker channel do have eberything to do with striker performance... and assuming the plastic striker sleeve and the spring retaining half cups are ok, the spring and dirt would be the things I would look at.

Definitely a gun problem, a stock glock will set off Small Rifle Primers. Looking at those dimples, if it was a primer issue, those would have to be the hardest primers ever made.

One other possible issue might be the slide wasn't going into in to battery completely. I've seen where the slide hangs up and sits about 1/16 inch out of battery. The striker will still release, but will not set off the primer, it just knocks the gun into battery and you get a light strike. Try replacing your recoil spring and cleaning the gun, especially under the extractor.

If the primer is set deap, that would agrivate the situation. However, if you can place the round that failed to discarge in another weapon and it discharges, how can you blame the ammunition? All striker firearms are at the mercy of a clean striker channel. It's the nature of the beast. When I see tube videos of Glocks that go "bang" after being subjected to harmful conditions and they still operate, makes me wonder why people that have less that a 1000 rounds complain about light primer strikes at the local shooting gallery. The obvious would be to accuse the strength of the firing pin spring. But, How much protrusion does the firing pin need to be above the breach face?
