I recently purchased this Micro Compact so haven't shoot it much but today had some issues while shooting RWS Match Grade 230 gr. FMJ ammo. As the title states some rounds would not fire, some I could re-cock hammer and second try they would go bang but not always. Loaded some cheap Monarch 230 gr. fmj and the Micro worked prefect.....ran 3 full mags no issue with Monarch.
Also has my S &W Commander Size .45 and it ran the RWS Match Grade with no issues. The primers on the RWS are silver alloy in color and the primers on the Monarch are brass in color. Common sense tells me the primers on the RWS are harder and take heavier strike than the Monarch. I am new to 1911s so my question is....what can I do to the Micro Compact to make the firing pin strike harder? Or should I just leave alone and shoot the RWS in my Commander. My only concern is that the Micro was purchased for a carry weapon and at this point I'm not really confident in it.
Like I said, new to 1911s but not new to shooting and very confident in working on my guns so is this something I might fix or should I take to a gunsmith?
