Maybe this is the way striker fired pistols work and I've never noticed it before, but I had to ask simply because I don't ever remember seeing this before.
I've always seen primers hit as you see on the 45 ACP, good clean punch right in the center. But my rounds all look like the firing pin is being pushed and thrown downward. Is this normal on a striker fired pistol verses a hammer pistol? The 45ACP was shot out of a 1911 and the 40S&W was shot out of a S&W M&P40.
I'm concerned not only because it looks different but also because for the first time ever I had a round (the other day) not fire and the pistol seezed up. Shot fine after (I think it was a bad round since I shot over 250 rounds through it and at least half that was after... it was cheap ammo).
Thanks
