Lot of things can happen. I've seen it where the firing pin was just a skosh long. Even though there was a brass case there to absorb the impact it still peened the chamber mouth just ever so slightly.
That is pretty much what I thought. And it had that symptom pretty much from the time I first bought it and the failure rate varied quite a bit depending on the ammo. Mini mags were almost 100% where as Federal Auto Match was a total 100% failure. Federal bulk failed at a 50% rate on the batch I shot and documented details that I sent back to S&W with the gun.
