Thats my gut feeling too. Very rare to find bad ammo, but it does happen. I've seen firing pins that get gunked up and are slow to go, or won't go all the way. Oil around the pin can definitely bind the pin in cold weather as stated. Sorry to hear that happened...unfortunate that you hit him at all. Give the gun a thorough cleaning, check your remaining cartridges for any obvious issues and hit the range to see where you stand.
