What is a common indication of a light strike malfunction?

A common indication of a light strike malfunction is that there is no ignition upon firing. This occurs when the primer of the cartridge does not receive sufficient force from the firing pin, resulting in the primer not igniting and, consequently, the cartridge failing to fire. Light strikes can happen due to various reasons, such as a damaged firing pin, reduced spring tension, or a misalignment of components within the firearm. Identifying this malfunction is crucial as it often requires a closer inspection of the firing mechanism and other related components to determine the root cause and perform the necessary repairs or adjustments.
