LAX new ammo with bad primers?

[AudieMurphy]

I fired about 130 rounds of LAX ammo yesterday
Factory new 40 S&W 180 gr rnfp - LAX 329.

I had three rounds fail to fire. The primers were struck but failed to detonate. I shot various others brands without a single failure to fire and the firing pin strikes in the primers look solid. Two of the rounds fired when rechambered and fired again
but one failed to detonate again after the second chambering.

Fired from a Glock 27, with zero previous issues.

What are thoughts from the vaunted ODT experts?

It happens to best ammo too.

Your biggest issue is 40CAL. Get yourself a 26 and or a 33 and throw away that sissy pistol. Lol

It's possible some harder primers got mixed in to the batch. Had that happen with an entire pallet of 9mm from AMMO Inc when I was working at a gun store a couple years ago. Several rounds in every box had a hard primer. Worked fine in any hammer fired guns, would not fire on first strike in any striker fired guns. Usually went bang on the second try.

LAX primarily does reloads, so you do get what you pay for there.

Generally they are pretty decent, but unless it's name-brand self-defense ammo you can expect a few duds.

Quit buying that reman, inconsistent ammo after 2 purchases.

With this subpar ammo, you don't get what you pay for.

Of the 3 pics, the first 2 show the primer up side down. The last could've been a light strike. Anyways if you shoot a lot of ammo, eventually you'll run into a round that doesn't fire.

What the last two already said; in those first 2 pics, those primers are seated upside down.

One could argue that a failure to fire now and again in your training ammo is a good thing; it’ll give you practice in fixing that type of malfunction.

Same reason that I’ll mix dummy rounds in with my training ammo at times.

Also good for checking your trigger control.

Is your G27 stock, or have there been any mods to the fire control group (trigger, connector, striker, springs, etc.)?

G27 internals are bone stock. No changes to the guts of the gun.
