The light strike issue is semi resolved. It was the firing pin block. Poor Chinese engineering. From my understanding, under the full weight of a hammer strike the pin block, which is spring loaded from underneath, is supposed to compress downward and allow the firing pin to be struck. Otherwise it's purpose is to stop the firing pin from striking a round accidently, for example if the pistol were dropped. Unfortunately, it wasn't doing its job and was causing damage to itself, the firing pin, and the hammer by not getting out of the way properly. I had to remove the pin block altogether and might look into replacing it or having a gunsmith tinker with it to make it work properly sometime down the road, but for now my gun works! Yay!
