How about providing some useful information?

After it fails to fire, when you rack the slide:
- Does a cartridge come out?
- If so, does it have any sign that the primer was struck?
- What does the primer strike, if any, look like?

Is it only the first round from the magazine that fails to fire?

What happens after the fail to fire, if all you do is cycle the slide?

When it shoots...does it continue shooting reliably until the magazine is empty?

Is the pistol 100 percent OE?

If not, what aftermarket stuff is installed?

Have you tried commercial ammo instead of questionable reloads?

Not much information to go on. Likely one or more of the following:
Primer not fully seated.
Dirty striker channel.
Weak striker spring.
There could be other causes, but I'd eliminate these first.

Sorry yall unless ive had an issue i havnt learned about still newer to guns obviously.

Its not always the first round of the mag, primers still looked good.

After i clear the misfire it shoots until i am empty, everything OE and for the ammo ive mainly shot winchester(not white box not a fan of that ****) but have put a bit if reloads down, this just happens to be another batch ive never tried prior..

I didnt see any sign the primer was struck when i check it out either.

Im going to strip her apart again today and throw my factory in her and see if it helps, appologize for lack of info up front wasnt sure of ideas besides the ammo also

Great advice. After reading Forester157's second post, I will add to make sure the firing pin block and springs are in good shape and functioning properly.
