Mark IV 22/45 ammo finicky?

2 new pistols, one a lite and one a 5 inch heavy barrel.
Numerous misfires with what appears to be strong primer strikes. 2 different ammo brands.
Suggestions? Thanks

Did you disassemble, clean and lube it before shooting it for the first time?

I've run about 500 rounds of the inexpensive bulk Golden Bullets thru my MarklV 22/45 target model.
No malfunctions of any kind.
I also clean it after each session.

Same here but I have thousands of rounds of the Golden Bullets through mine with zero issues. Those Remingtons are really dirty but my Mark IV shoots em just fine and for the way I shoot they're just as accurate as the more expensive stuff.

Cleaned and lubed. Will try the goldens

They shoot dirty but my Mark IV and my 10/22 like them...

If the primers are hit hard then I would say it's the ammo, light strikes would indicate the gun issue, hard would be ammo.
