The last couple of times I went to the range I had about 3 or 4 miss fires. I pulled the trigger and nothing happened, there was a dent on the primer. Im not sure what type of ammo I was using. Im going to get some good ammo and go to the range next week to see if that was the problem. Do you guys think it was the ammo or the gun?

If there was a dent in the primer I would say it was the ammo.

How clean is the gun? Maybe there is some crud in the firing pin channel. It should be DRY (as in no oil).

Every year or three, I stripe the slide on my glock, I know they will still run, but I think it s a good idea to clean, inspect and oil the firing pin channel and give the extractor and whole slide a good cleaning. JMHO

3 or 4 light strikes out of how many? 200, 300, 400 rounds? Were they in the same mag? Was it spread out between several boxes of ammo? Most likely it was a few bad primers. Even factory ammo can be bad. It wouldn't hurt to check your striker and the channel. let us know how it goes.
