The last two range trips I've had disconcerting misfires, about one or two per 100 rounds of 9mm (124LRN if it matters). That is, the primer was struck but round did not go off, since the bullet was still in the case I blame the primer and not a problem with little/no powder charge.
The primer strike looked ok to me, but I didn't give it a close examination, basically once I looked at the round I ejected and saw a dimpled primer, I kicked it away forward of the firing line just in case it was a hangfire.
I wonder if this might be a light striker spring, since this has happened only with my Kahr CW9. I have two other 9s (Ruger P85 and SW3906, both conventional hammer SA/DA)that I usually shoot too, not as frequently as the Kahr though, and I don't think this has ever happened with them. I use the same CCI SP primers to make 357/38 and 380 also, and I don't recall ever having a misfire with those. However, my Kahr has NEVER misfired with any factory ammunition.
Does anyone here know of this kind of problem with CCI SP primers? I purchased them within the last 6 months. Or, would you say perhaps it's the striker-fired pistol (seems kind of likely I have to say)? I have a brick of Winchester SP primers I haven't gotten to yet and I'm kind of curious if I'll see this happen when I start shooting reloads made with those in my Kahr.
