There have been several posts and complaints about the first CCI primers that became available early last year. Were they completely defective, no but they were hard as heck and it made quite a few of us question formally reliable revolvers. I had a few myself. It seems to have worked itself out. I would rather have a fail to fire than a hang fire. As a side note also I had several squibs and one complete FTF shooting off some 7 year old carry ammo in my LCP. These were rounds in the magazines that rode in my pocket, console and the gun itself. It was factory Fiocchi XTP and FMJ. Point is it happens, things degrade from handling and use and although I saw the quoted fail rate of factory primers I will say I call BS on that number. I have found plenty of flaws with factory ammo and components over the years to have a healthy understanding of Murphy’s Law when it comes to anything ammo related.
