Glock 19 light strikes with Monarch steel case crap- normal?

[Revolver]

As titled. I had 2 "light" strikes with Monarch ammo. Russian lacquered steel case crap. Should this be expected from ammo that crappy, or should I be concerned about my gun? The primers were pretty well dented (as well as any of the rounds that went off), but no bang.

Never had this issue with brass-cased ammo, but I've only put a few hundred rounds through the gun.

I've had monarchs do that, pop primers and seen a few with primer in backwards

I have had a misfire or two from the cheap Russian Steel-cased stuff in an otherwise reliable gun--I will say that the number of misfires with that type Ammo will increase EXPONENTIALLY if there has been any "Work" done to the Gun--Like installation of a Reduced-power Striker Spring--In pursuit of a lighter Trigger Pull...YMMV, of course....mikey357

Soft strike or hard primer, or combination of both.
Not every gun was designed for the "harder" primers of Russian steel case ammo.
I still prefer Russian steel case over crap inconsistent and weak WWB and reloaded junk

I never use steel case in any gun I own....

My guess is there's a light spring in your gun

Never had any primer strike problems with any of my Glocks.
An occasional lights strike? Sure, but nothing often.

Typical for Russian ammo. Its all made by Barnual, same company that makes Brown/Silver/Golden Bear ammo. The Monarch brass cased stuff is made by PPU (Priv Partizan) and Ive never had a issue with it.

The gun is stock except for a Ghost minus connector. I purchased it brand new so I know for sure what parts are in it.

I've seen some with sporadic hard primers.
I've seen some .380 that was totally worthless.
