I have about 5500 rounds though my 9VE and have begun experiencing light primer strikes. Up until now they have been few and far between and blamed on the ammo, but at the range this morning I had a few different types of ammo and had upwards of 10-12 light strikes.

The gun is factory in all respects, could the light strikes be caused by the firing pin spring wearing out and needing replaced? I also have never broken down the slide for a detailed cleaning, which I am sure is over due. This is my everyday all the time carry and has never left with the unsure feeling that I have now as to if it will work for me.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Chris
