Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
I neglected to post the photo of the rear of the Speer Gold Dot 124+p that failed to light off. This was round 1 of the first mag of the day. Two rounds later was the FTF malfunction.
Normally the striker imprint is centered and oblong. How does a dimple this size and location (near the edge?) get put on the cartridge?
The striker is only able to be in one place. The cartridge might be anywhere in its feed cycle. The striker got released when the cartridge was against the breech face of the slide, but the primer wasn’t lined up properly with the striker: IOW, the pistol was not completely in battery.
Ah...copy.
I have this habit built from shooting my VP9 very early of smacking the rear of the slide firmly after seating a cartridge. I don't honestly recall either way in this case, but suspect I need to get back into doing that with the G48 and the under (?) sprung RSA from the G43.
And I totally get it that I am dealing with a gun that has a narrower envelope of performance than double stack Glocks, and hopefully if I stop messing with it all will be well.
Thanks, much obliged.
