Sounds to me like your sear bar/disconnector is sticking. remove the sideplate. Looking at the sear bar left there is a spring loaded pin that moves laterally front to rear. If this pin sticks in the inside position, it will provide the symptoms you are describing. I recommend that you saturate the pin and searbar in WD-40 and work the pin in and out until such time as it has complete freedom of movement.

Once it moves, replace the sideplate and try dry firing again. You should have consistent snap when the striker falls. If you do not, then **** the gun and once again remove the sideplate. press on the front of the sear bar and the rear of the bar will pivot up and release the striker.

Report back once you have determined that this is happening. Do not use any ammo until we have it dry firing consistantly...

later,
