Light primer hits using Norinco 9mm?

[RedPepper2]

I purchased several rounds of 9x19mm Norinco 9mm several years ago. In firing the ammo I experience a light primer malfunction about every 12 rounds. Someone told me this ammo uses military hard primers and that is my probable cause of failures. I am using a M&P9C pistol. Anyone have any input on this subject?

I don’t think its so much a Military Ammo issue as that its probably foreign Ammo. A lot of the Russian and Chinese stuff. They don’t have the standards we have here. The metals mixed are not as closely monitored. The quality just isn’t there.

I would save it for practice only, and buy some Winchester or Remington to see if they have the same problem. They probably won't. If the do then there is probably a problem with the gun.
