I also figured out that my misfires were caused by the sheet metal transfer bar occasionally "wandering" under the firing pin (its an intentionally loose fit inside the frame) and when the trigger is pulled, which normally moves the bar up into firing position, it jams it under the pin instead. No interface = no bang.
What kind of gun is it? This exact thing was one of the problems with my new Taurus Gaucho. I called Taurus customer service and they just put me on hold and never came back.

So I got a local gunsmith to fit the firing pin. Now it works just fine. Cost me $35, but it would have cost that much to send it back to Taurus for warranty work and who knows how long that would take and if they would have actually fixed it.
