OP - were your light primer strikes, centered or off center?
According to my Glock Armorer's Manual:
probable causes for light centered strike - hard primer (since you mentioned Federal Hydrashok Ammo - I would rule this out), or obstructed firing pin channel.
probable causes for light off-centered strike - tight extractor, dirty gun, slide lock reversed or not beveled, weak recoil spring.
Since you mentioned that it is very sluggish to go into battery and if you are shooting with a locked wrist, I would look at the RSA.
I read the posts and I know that a dirty firing pin channel and RSA problem were already mentioned as possible causes. Also boilergonzo"s post about running some "hot" ammo has merit.
Trying to help with your trouble shooting...…….. This should be solvable. If not - back to Glock. Good luck
