Glock 23 light strike issues

[Sam]

I was shooting a friend's G23 last weekend and experienced several light strikes. The ammo was Sellier & Bellot full metal jacket. Out of 50 rounds I got 4 light strikes. On each of those 4 cartridges, I observed a faint striker indent on the primer. When I loaded those rounds back in the gun and attempt to fire them again, all would fire on the second strike.

Does anybody know if that's a primer issue with the S&B rounds or does the G23 have a dislike for certain "hard" primers?

BTW, the gun was a second generation pistol, very lightly used, probably had only 200 rounds through it.

Thanks.

First S&B is famous for having hard primers. Second I would still pull the firing pin out and make sure the firing pin channel is clean. If a bunch of oil got in there at some point dirt and crap has probably collected and is interferring with the firing pin.

I had that happen with my G19 shortly after I got it. I pulled out the firing pin and found a bunch of brass shavings in the firing pin channel.

Is it stock? Has the trigger been "lightened"? If not then I would bet the previous posters are on the money.

Sounds like you have received very good advice. Let us know if cleaning and drying the firing pin channel works out.

The gun is stock.

Thanks for the advice, I'll check out the firing pin channel.
