I probably have over 7,000 rounds through the gun, so I replaced the recoil spring assembly. I was using some Barnual Brass ammo which I have used before, but this time I experienced at least 1 failure to detonate per 50 rounds. In one case I put the round back in and it detonated without issue. I have used Barnual before without issue. Perhaps it is this particular batch of Barnual that has harder primers. However, I was also shooting a Gen 2 Glock 17 using the same ammo and had no issues with the gun.
Needles to say, I find this issue very troubling.

Agreed.

Wierd that this just started happening when I replaced the recoil spring assembly.
I am going to try the gun with other ammo on the off chance that this lot of Barnual brass cased FMJ was a bad lot--even though it functioned 100% in my Glock.
Very disappointing.
Interesting. When mine starts to get no ignition/light primer strikes, it's always the red primer sealant in the steel eastern european ammo severely clogging up the striker, it's spring and the channel.
