...after they became aware of problems with "light strikes"... Possibly an ammunition problem with hard primers? Did they try other brands of ammo? The same ammo in other semiautomatic handguns?
From the article:
In training, LAPD officers primarily use lower-quality ammunition than is used in the field.

"Light strikes" have been a bane of ALL firearms that cock on the closing of the bolt.
The bolt is the slide on a self loading pistol.
REAL PISTOLS have a device called a hammer which is recocked as the first action after firing.

Hard primers, weak firing pin springs. Also the trigger bar being out of spec. due to a manufacturing or metallurgical defect. I'm a certified armorer on the glock 22 and I cannot recall in 5 years any problem remotely like this. I'd look into the ammo a little closer before I blame the gun. If the ordnance guys went cheap on the training ammo that could easily explain it.
