I f you break it down ,try putting one finger over the hole where the firing pin comes out ,then cock the hammer and squeeze the trigger . You should be able to feel the firing pin strike your finger pretty sharply . Try it a few times to see if it is striking your finger each time. You may need to squirt some WD40 down that little hole then blow it out with some compressed air to get any fouling crud out . tell us if that works and you might have to have a gunsmith look into your problem .

Could be a weak pin spring, could be dirty, could be a head space problem. After it misfires inspect the shell, should be a nice crisp dent at the rim, if there is you might just have some junk ammo.
