My assumption is the recoil force is stronger with some ammo and the firing pin spring just doesn't get the pin back out of the way before the barrel unlocks from the slide....
Exactly

It's the new millennium! And, it's populated with....you guessed it. Saw the alcohol sales sticker at the cash register last week.
I must admit that my faith in my P220 faltered a bit when the tiny hammer reset spring failed. Less than $10 from Brownell's, and the department armorer installed it in about 10 minutes, but it was unsettling in a duty weapon.as a Sig fan the recent issues with a number of their models is perplexing; my Colt Mustang circa 1985ish has never had even one parts failure. Over the years unsure of round count, but much closer to 5k than 500.

Not a SIG fanboi, but I'm confident that they will get it fixed.Yeah, the P365 looks like anything BUT something I would carry 365 days a year. What a POS. I feel sorry for all the guys that ran out and bought one right away thinking because it says Sig on it, it must be a good gun.

Funky rollout, though.
To be able to get 12+1 in that thing is a feat.
Partial double stack, I'm thinkin'.
If Walther copies that and releases a PPS-M3, that will be the perfect sub-compact carry piece,
And really, if the right amount of R&D was done beforehand, there shouldn't be anything to be "fixed". They should have caught this before the first gun was shipped. Rushed out the door to try and stay competitive, and it backfires. Bad business decisions being made in the Sig camp lately.
High primers in a revolver. Usually caused by very light loads that do not set the case back onto the primer. Upon firing, the primer is partially pushed out of the case by pressure - the same pressure which expands the case against the chamber walls. As that pressure drops (bullet exiting the barrel), the case then pulls free of the chamber walls, but is set back against the breech face by residual pressure which re-seats the spent primer. With a very light, i.e. target load, the case may not be pushed all the way back, so the primers may protrude from the case head and drag on the breech face or recoil shield.
In a semi-auto, it could be a high primer which drags on the bolt face, slowing or stopping feeding. But high primers in autoloaders are also known to cause slam fires on a partially open breech. Not a good thing.[/QUOTE

Great Explanation
