I also got some light strikes, probably 3 of them in a 300 round period. Mostly 124 gr Blazer Brass. I don't believe they were defective primers, because I did ignite all of them successfully with a second strike. Mine has the action tune from Wilson (but not the Wilson trigger bar). I called Wilson, and they said it probably has the 13# hammer spring in it. This was occurring from single action if I remember correctly, so not sure if adding the Wilson trigger bar would even help. I changed it to the 16# to approximate the D spring, and it has been OK now.
I do have the Wilson trigger bar on order anyway because the hammer falls in double action earlier than on pretty much any of my other Berettas. I am uncertain if this is a consequence of action tune polishing or a worn trigger bar.
