Buy some 10 weight silicon oil (ask for "RC SHock Oil" at the hobby shop), and take your slide off. You will see the hammer and in front of it the 'firing pin', the part that extends forward to depress the valve on the mag. Put a drop of oil on either side of the axle for that firing pin, some on either side of the hammer, and some on the little rounded thing that sticks up from the frame near the hammer. Then put your thumb in front of the hammer, pull the trigger and let the hammer come to rest on your thumb, cock the hammer, press the little rounded thing (it resets the firing pin). Do that repeatedly about a dozen times to work the oil in. That should fix your problem completely. It's a common problem, and super easy to avoid.
