Detail stripping the slide cleaning the striker channel and making sure it is completely dry will likely get your pistol back to 100%. My glock 19 has at least triple that amount of ammo through it with no parts replacement except a coup,e recoil spring assemblies

Springs wear out at different rates. Simply replace your firing pin spring. It never hurts to replace springs, especially on older weapons.

Replace the firing pin spring. If the firing pin itself looks off at all replace it too. Clean everything, leave striker assembly and channel dry.
Some Russian ammo has hard primers, could you isolate the brand or were there some with everything? |

while it is apart, check that the spring retaining cups are not dinged

Detailed strip, clean and inspect. I can't imagine your spring is worn out with the round count the weapon has on it (springs don't go bad from sitting around).
Check the condition of the firing pin, ensure the channel is clean. Replace firing pin/spring if needed. |

Brown bear ammo I having the same issues with brown bear ammo. Out of a box of 50 I will get about 5-6 'clicks'. I'll reload them and they usually shoot the second time though. My gen 3 19 has about 6k through it give or take. I've never done a complete disassembly and cleaning on her (only field strip/clean) on her but I'm going to do one tomorrow and hit the range and see if it makes a difference. |

As several others have already stated, detail strip and clean everything. I would go ahead and order a new firing pin channel liner and springs cups and replace them along with the firing pin spring. Honestly, I would just go ahead and replace all of the springs if the gun is that old. Springs wear out from use not storage, so if the firing pin spring is bad, the rest are going to be bad.

I had the same issue with my 3 x glock 19 with light primer strikes on wolf ammo. The solution is a wolff 6 lb stricker spring. $3 dollar fix. Just did a pistol class with 1400 rounds with wolf steel ammo and not 1 light primer strike. My buddy ran my other glock for 1400 rounds and no light primer strikes. This will fix your issue. As said earlier please make sure the striker channels is clean and no oil in there.

I just went through about 500 rounds of brown bear. Had about 6 or 7 light primer strikes. More than one gun. None would fire if reloaded them again.
Never had the issue in thousands of rounds with any other ammo in the same Guns. |

Late to the party as usual. Back in late 80's I remember when we could have 1200rds of Egyptian 124gr FMJ (corrosive at that) delivered for $89. Worked great in Hi-Powers and other hammer fired pistols. But not my best friends new Glock pistol. Light primer strikes due to hard primers. I avoided Glocks because of that until I finally gave in 12/2015. Since your pistol is over 20 years old and your listed round count, it wouldn't hurt to replace firing pin spring. But hard primers are still going to be a hit or miss I'm guessing. Great thread and information.
