Springfield FBI guns

This could apply to both the FBI and civilian .45s: has anyone had problems with Remington ammo? I ask for a curious reason.
I was sorting brass that the FBI left at our range, and noticed a bunch of "R-P" headstamped brass had very light primer marks where they were struck by the firing pin. Now the bullet fired, but the primer looked like it was not hit hard.
Does this mean there are problems with the gun, or is the primer metal that soft that light hits set the round off?
Sorting through the other .45 brass, the primers had nice solid strikes and indents.
The agents that shoot at our range use the Springfield Armory guns, in addition to the 10mm (MP-5/10), and the various 9mms.
 
I think Remington may have a harder primer that most, but I have had no problems with Remington ammo. Its not my favorite - but I have not had any problems with it.

This is my experince with Springfield 1911A1s AND Springfield's TRP...

I have noted a distinct dislike of Blazer ammo in my worker 1911A1. But thats not due to primers either.
