I have a R.O. Compact and after a few hundred rounds I am getting failure to fires- light primer strikes. I called Springfield and they offered that the ammo I used was known to have heavy primers (even though my 5 other 1911’s have no issues with it) and also advised to remove the firing pin and spring and clean out the firing pin hole. I did that and also tried 4 other brands of ammo and all but one produced the same results. I also tried a shorter firing pin spring as the factory original is longer than any of the other springs from my other guns. Same result. I guess next I will try a heavier hammer spring but it seems odd since the gun got very good reviews.
Anyone have any ideas other than sending it back to Springfield ?
