Default RE: Snap ; Snap ; Trash ; Boom !!!

Needless to say I would be looking in to why the rifle did not fire. Not too long ago I had just finished reloading some 45 ACP shells the day before I went out to shoot. My third trigger pull on my HK USP resulted in a snap and no boom. I pulled the trigger again and nothing. I held the gun out in front of me for about a minuite before I dropped the magazine and ejected the shell where I could see that the pin had hit the primer without it going off. Later I used a de-seating hammer to eject the bullet and powder and then very carefully used the press to pop the primer out. For whatever reason it just did not go off, it had no internal damage and it had not gotten wet, but it just did not go off.
