Today I had a misfire with my lcp custom.
Fired in the third strike.
It had a very off center firing pin strike.
I fired some more with no problem, but they all had off center firing pin strikes.
With wiping/drag marks back towards center.
This is my primary carry gun, so it is concerning.
Only loads shot today were my normal recipe reloads- mixed range brass with lee 356-95rf sized at .358.
This gun is several years old and I have never noticed the off center fp strikes, but I haven’t been looking close lately.
I do inspect at times so I should have noticed it before.
This lcp has at least 3-5 thousand rounds through it, probably more.
My current plan is to detail strip and clean it paying extra attention to the firing pin channel and extractor.
I will also bring some factory ammo with on the next range trip.
I also shot my new LCP II today, FP strike was fine on it.
Any more ideas?
