Did you forget the boolits again?
Not firing can be caused by...
1. Safety set to safe
2. Firing pin not resetting ( dirty firing pin ) Empty pistol, safety set to fire, the firing pin should move freely forward and return all the way to the rear when pressed in from the rear and released.
3. Weak trigger bar spring not keeping the trigger bar engaged with the sear which causes the hammer to get caught by the sear in the safety notch (half cock notch) Carefully inspect a dropped hammer to see if it is falling all the way.
4. Broken firing pin
5. Broken hammer spring.
