| I went shooting this past weekend and had a misfire, the round was partialy dempled. It was like the hammer didnt strike it hard enough. could it be from me not holding the grip safty tight enough? i actualy put the round back in the gun and fired it. |

The hammer dropped, and your safety is function as it should then it was not your grip (or the grip safety).
Hard primer. Slide not fully in battery. High primer. Weak main spring/FP spring combo. If the primer was high (yes, even on factory ammo it happens) the first time the FP hits it the primer is seated deeper. The second time it fires. |
