Seem to have continual trouble with the firing pin hitting the primer on factory ammo. Sent it off to a gunsmith to check headspace issues and there were no problems. I have had it too long for warranty options. Anyone else experienced this issue? I will load a cylinder with Ultramax factory ammo and get 3-4 misfires. When I check the primer, tiny little indent...but obviously not enough to cause detonation. Any ideas? Replace firing pin?
