I've seen this before. Get yourself a couple Wolff spring kits.

Why do you want to "own the fixes" on these pistols ?Ok, I should have posted it as "aftermarket Glock varient" instead of Glock. I'm not saying Glocks have reliability issues, all I was saying that the issue I am having seems to have enough support out there already that I could have just googled it instead of being lazy and posting on here looking for a quick solution.
This x1000.Why do you want to "own the fixes" on these pistols ?
Why not let the builders fix their products ?
OKI want to own the fixes because I like to learn. I like to tinker and get an idea of how things work. I don't pay someone to change the oil in my car, I do it myself because I can. If I can fix it myself, learn something, maybe save some money, why not?
And maybe I don't want to send something off and not have it for a few weeks because I like to stare at it when no one else is looking.
To my knowledge, the triggers do not have over travel adjustment. They are just drop in triggers with nothing to adjust. It makes sense what you said about striker drag, but I'm also really thinking I may have over done it with the lube. I normally only use EWP grease but in a rush to get out the door, I hit them both some regular slip2000 since it was right in front of me.
Then 43 definitely did fail to go into battery and I had to push the slide forward many times to get in to battery.
I did not visually see or feel the CCP fail to go in to battery yet it still had the off center primer strikes and more failures to fire than the 43.
And bullet weights were mentioned earlier, I did only shoot factory 124 and 147s.
stock glocks do not need heavier springs. they run right out of the box
So you hosed them like you would an M4 ?To my knowledge, the triggers do not have over travel adjustment. They are just drop in triggers with nothing to adjust.

You did not mention this until now.Then 43 definitely did fail to go into battery and I had to push the slide forward many times to get in to battery.
A lot of proprietary parts in this one.I did not visually see or feel the CCP fail to go in to battery yet it still had the off center primer strikes and more failures to fire than the 43.
That's an interesting episode with the AM firing pin and springs.Sounds like possible issues have been covered. So I'll just share my story since you got it solved and might run into something similar.
Only twice have I had issues in my Glocks with light primer strikes. The first time was gunk around the firing pin, helps of you clean that area every few thousand rounds.
The other time I got a new aftermarket firing pin and springs and it blew through the primer. So I didn't notice and not only did it puncture the primer the heat stuck the primer to the firing pin. It got stuck in the tiny hole in front of the firing pin blocking the firing pin from striking future rounds very hard.
After about a hundred rounds of disappointment I noticed something shiny in the firing pin hole that didn't look right during cleaning.
After popping the metal out of there I haven't had any more issues to write home about.
Best of luck to ya that it's cleared up for good

For future reference, what exactly was the firing pin brand and the spring weight ?
