Light strike with my EDC

I’ve got about 600 rounds through my EDC, a Canick Mete MC9. While shooting one day I had a light strike. That was the one and only issue with this gun. Should I wonder about the reliability. I thought I’d run it to 1000 and if I have another issue with the pistol then I switch to something else. Does that seem reasonable?

Have you tried cleaning out the striker channel? Were you able to tap/rack, go boom? If you were I wouldn’t worry about it.

SimonRL speaks wisely. ;) And I concur.

Like others have said, could be ammo related. For example, if a primer is set too deep in the cartridge the striker might not fully engage it.

Or if you're like me, sometimes I tend to over-lube. I got some oil in the striker channel once and, over time, it got dirty and crummy and yucky. I cleaned up everything and reassembled pretty dry. I put a drop of oil on a Q-tip and applied a very light rub on the striker. It doesn't take much.

But this might not even be necessary. Monitor how she runs for a while and then decide. Don't forget, "tap-and-rack" is your friend.


Thank you for your indulgence,

I’m a bit of a slippery fellow so too much lube could be an issue I’m creating for myself. I’ll look at the pistol and see if it’s a bit too wet. Thanks.
