Have now seen many threads on this issue... wish I would have seen these threads prior to getting this gun. I've been looking forward to getting this pistol for months.
Picked the gun up today, took it home and did a field strip and pre-range cleaning.
At the range, after 1 perfect magazine, I loaded the second. First round, great, second round failed to fire. Followed safety protocols and unloaded the round after 10 seconds. It had a light, off centered primer strike. Finished the mag, and reloaded the lightly struck round - it fired.
Tried a few more mags and had another ftf. Tried out some federal hydra-shock - 2 good rounds, ftf. Reloaded that round, it fired. Did another mag of hydra-shock, same thing - one ftf.
All in all I think I had 5 ftf's out of 60 or so rounds. I will say that when it does shoot, this is a very accurate, nice shooting, great feeling in my hands gun.
Numerous threads mention cleaning out the striker channel. I've now done that, and it was pretty oily and had some grit in it. It is now dry.
Will try another run of 50 rounds this weekend, but I'm really bummed that a new pistol has these issues. Hopefully the 50 will run well, if not I'll be on the phone to SA on Monday.
Anyway, question: besides cleaning out the striker channel, is there anything else I should look for?
