For everybody that has had a failure, there is always that guy who has fired 100,000 rounds with no issues.
Statistically, if multiple officers experienced the same problem at the same time, it's less likely human factors or individual gun issues. I agree with the other posters that suggested you look at the ammo. If all the rounds are from the same lot and have been maintained similarly, that would explain the problem better. I wouldn't be the least surprised to learn the ammo has some issues.
