I am not familiar with that model, so won't offer cleaning suggestions.

I don't hesitate to send something back to the factory if they suggest it. At the worst you have a "state of health" checkpoint for the firearm should bad things happen - you have a documented example of following factory rules.
What he said. I had the exact same thing happen to me. Broke the gun down and the striker was all gunked up. Now I pull it and clean the striker as well as the channel it rests in about every 6th trip or so to the range.
