P22 w/ Spectre
I have a P22 w/3.4 barrel, TI thread adapter, and SWR Spectre. I get light primer strikes with every other round. I fire a round, see it eject, the slide goes into battery loading another round. I pull the trigger and "click", nothing. I check the round and see it has indented the primer but not hard/deep enough for detonation. I tried 4 different kinds of ammo, and 6 different magazines. When I take the can off the gun works without incident. I tried a fieldstrip / relube with no joy. Suggestions?

Is the slide able to move all the way forward when you have your thread adapter on? Is the transition from the barrel sleeve to the thread adapter smooth (the slide may be catching on the seam when it tries to return to battery)? Is the thread adapter tight?
rsilvers has mentioned reliability problems with the p22 when a heavy can is mounted. I have the same setup you are asking about and do not have the same problem.

I have the same problem as does the OP. Light primer strikes. I'm tagging this thread in case someone has a solution.
I will check to see if the gun goes completely into battery.
I must admit though, I have not had as many malfunctions as I did 200 rounds ago, but I still get them.

I have a perfect body. It's in the trunk and starting to stink.
