Thanks for the feedback, John.
I did a similar test earlier and the firing pin repeatedly dropped, or fired. The upper receiver was not on the frame though.
I just want to double-check if it makes a difference so I don't keep dry firing it without any snap caps. I thought we (you guys) had determined the problem was the sideplate was not exerting enough pressure. When I press on the sideplate and apply light pressure it also fires every time. And when I press on the sideplate tab underneath the takedown lever it fires.
