Hi guys. I picked up a Sig P232 a few months back and have been trying out various ammo types with it.
I've had several light primer strikes on Hornady hollowpoints and with Hungarian Geco. I didn't have any problems through either Speer Lawman or WWB.
Is this a common issue with the P232? Anything I should potentially change out?
I'm hoping to add this to my CCW rotation this coming summer, but I need to make sure it's going to be 100% first.

Thanks!

How old is the pistol (est round count)?   May have a weak main spring or you can get an increased power main spring.

Those aren't Sig logo'd Hogues, so they may not be original to the gun.  It's possible if they're an older revision and the hammer strut/mainspring could be binding up when firing.  Check to see if there's any damage or marks along the "seam" where the grips meet in the back.  Has there been a lot of dry firing?  Firing pin positioning pin could be chipped or bent.  The safety plunger in the slide is Nickeled, and sometimes the finish flakes off, so that could be causing issues too.

Just a few things to think about.

Thanks guys. I'll check the grips and the firing pin, then move on to the spring.

Haven't had a chance yet. I'll replace the spring first and go from there.
