Hello and mistral question

After finally buying my first air arms a mistral se90 in .177 I thought it would be good to join your forum.
My first attempt to fire the gun wasn't ideal. I cocked it returned the lever, loaded pellet took aim squeezed the trigger that didn't feel right and it wouldn't fire! I pulled the lever fully again, and tried again and it fired this time. Fired 20 further shots without issue. Any ideas what caused the problem? Love the styling and quality, can't believe I've never owned one after 40 years of air gunning.

I had the same issue last Saturday. I put it down to not pulling the lever back in a smooth action.
Again it only happened the once :?

I wondered if the spring was near being coil bound and needed an extra firm final pull if that makes sense. Also wondered if it was to do with trigger adjustment. As I've not touched it internally I'm unsure how these guns work. Love the gun though.
