Pardini SP1 RF hammer adjustment question

Is it possible to adjust something on a SP1 RF electronic so that you get a harder hit from the pin. I am getting one or two shots per box of differing ammo that hits but doesn't go off, so thought it might be a strike problem. A lot of older pistols had an adjustment screw to make the spring and hammer strike harder, cannot find anything for this type of pistol. Any help appreciated.
chamber?

Just a thought, but 9 times out of 10 in my experience light hits are caused when rounds don't fully chamber. Have you tried thoroughly cleaning the chamber with a bronze brush? Does your ammo freely drop into the chamber when you try manually loading it?. If not, a round that is not fully chambered can absorb much of the striking force just by being pushed that final fraction of a mm into the chamber, and then will show a light hit.

Check for wear in the firing pin. If the round chambers well, as said by FredB, my next suspect would be the firing pin itself.
Hope this helps
